PORTMEIRION with special guest DJ FORMAT
Advertisement
After the success of their sold out debut show a few months back, the psychedelic rock soul super group are back! Fronted by epic vocalist and iconic choir leader Sarah Gardner.
The band is a cohort of absolute diamond players from the south east :
Sarah Gardner – Vocals
Helleanor Fitt – Flute and vocals
Simon Hill – Bass
Toby Sendall – Guitar
Alex Pitt – Drums
PORTMEIRION
Portmeirion formed in 2025 through their mutual love of sixties and seventies psychedelic rock and soul. The five members include a jazz drummer who loves Black Sabbath, a soul-jazz bassist armed with a fuzz pedal, a blues guitarist with a complete arsenal of sonic effects to expand anyone’s mind; and a virtuosic jazz flautist with a singing voice that blends in perfect harmony with the huge, soulful dulcet tones of the band’s front woman.
Expect to hear the band’s unique take on tunes from the likes of Rotary Connection, Jefferson Airplane, Isaac Hayes, Shocking Blue and many more from the mind bending sounds of the retro underground.
Now they’re back at The Rose Hill following their last sell-out show – book those tickets in advance so you don’t miss out!
DJ FORMAT

Expect an exceptional, strictly-vinyl set tracking deep-cut 1960s and 70s heavy psych, fuzzed-out international garage rock, and driving freakbeat.
Arrive early and stay til the end – you really do not want to miss a master selector at work!
