Experience Tom Portman live on July 10th

Tom Portman will be performing at Dry Water Arts Centre in Amble, Northumberland, on July 10th, 2026. Portman is a British composer and multi-instrumentalist whose work blends elements of ambient, folk, and experimental music. Often utilizing acoustic instruments – particularly guitar and piano – alongside field recordings and subtle electronic textures, his compositions are characterised by their atmospheric quality and evocative soundscapes. He has released several albums to critical acclaim, noted for their introspective nature and detailed sonic layering.

Dry Water Arts Centre is a community-focused venue situated within Amble’s harbour village. Originally established in 2004 as a project to revitalise a former industrial space, the centre now functions as a multi-purpose arts facility. It hosts a diverse programme including theatre productions, live music performances, visual art exhibitions, workshops and film screenings. The building itself incorporates sustainable design principles reflecting its coastal location and commitment to environmental awareness. It plays a significant role in providing cultural opportunities for both residents and visitors to the Northumberland coast. The centre aims to support local artists alongside presenting nationally recognised talent.
