The Shivers Live at the Portland Arms; Wortham Fen, Suffolk - 26th August 2007
The Shivers - mates of Isobel, and a band that Nosher is getting to know - are playing at the Portland Arms, a pub on Major's Corner in Cambridge, and which on the outside looks a little like one of those traditional redbrick town pubs that you might not ordinarily want to go in to without back-up. But far from it, as it turns out to be a rather decent establishment, with a cool beer-garden and a dedicated "music room" with a great atmosphere. The crowd are up for it, and get well in to a spot of Tom Colbourn (and his blues/bluegrass guitar), Emily Barker and her violin, cello and accordion accompaniment, and the headliners "The Shivers".

The band have their very-own "Bez", who randomly takes to the stage and dances like it's the 90s (but it's great to see) |
