The Shivers Live at the Portland Arms, Cambridge - 26th August 2007

The Shivers - mates of Isobel and a band that we're getting to know - are playing at the Portland Arms, a pub on Major's Corner in Cambridge, and which on the outside looks 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 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 into a spot of Tom Colbourn, Emily Barker and her violin, and the headliners "The Shivers".
