In autumn 2012, Will Bloomfield met fellow UEA students Stanley Spilman and Henry Kilmister and spent the next few months writing songs and playing gigs around Norfolk, just before bassist Willem Olenski joined to complete the full Port Isla line-up.
This isn’t the first time the band has appeared at Glastonbury; Emily Eavis invited them to play in 2013 after reaching the final of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent competition. And Eavis isn’t the only high-profile fan Port Isla have picked up so far – Zane Lowe selected track Sinking Ship as his Next Hype at the start of the year, with tracks Steamroller and Next In Line also picking up airplay from Radio 1 and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Introducing in Norfolk. Fellow Introducing artist George Ezra is also a big fan and has asked Port Isla to support him on tour in June.
If you like indie rock, pop or folk, make sure you head to the Introducing tent to catch this Norfolk foursome.
