Portico Quartet – Live on Tour!

Their Biggest Cambridge show to date! Former Mercury Award Nominees and the toast of the critics return for a show in the main auditorium in The Junction, Cambridge.

Ifan Dafydd – No Good

The much requested No Good by mystery welsh man Ifan Dafydd has landed on a cheeky 12.

Ghostpoet – Cash & Carry Me Home

Ghostpoet’s first proper release of 2011 is released on 24th Jan. His debut freebie The Sound Of Strangers EP was in the Beatnik stereo for ages, so it’s nice to get some new material from him in there. He has a distinctive vocal style which counjures up the feeling in my head after a long [...]

Geva Alon, Ana Silvera & Gil Karpas

Saturday 14th May 2011 at The Junction BUY TICKETS Geva Alon has been called “the Israeli Neil Young”, his plaintive voice soaring above gentle acoustic guitar or the fuller sound of a band.
