Portmanteau, from Cambridge, play our sister clubs on the UK French dance circuit as well as Chippenham Folk Festival... where Alan Brunier said "Portmanteau are a talented and versatile band who are sure to get you dancing. If you're a fan of lively schottisches, exquisite mazurkas, and driving bourrées, then you should definitely check them out." We thought so too, so come for a treat at their welcome return to Patcham...
Supported by our perennial house band Jeudi Matin
