Shamefully, Friday night was the first time I'd ever seen a gig in Porter's. The occasion? Clwb Fuzz's relaunch under new name Midding, with support from newcomers Slate, plus an endearingly shambolic solo set from Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard guitarist Zac White. (Buzz review here.)
Sadly, there won't be too many more opportunities to see live music there, with the building slated for demolition and replacement with (yes, you guessed it) luxury flats when the current lease ends in October. Plans are afoot for Porter's 2.0, and a location has already been found. But, with just 22 days left to run, the Crowdfunder set up to make the move a reality is still a long, long way short of its (admittedly ambitious) target.
In the meantime, I'd suggest giving what you can and getting down to the current premises for gig nights in particular. Free entry, decent sound, good booze - what more do you need?
