The Amba Tremain Band

The Amba Tremain Band are playing Portsmouth Guildhall on Sunday 29 November, with the set starting at 8.00pm. It's a home-town show for the band's frontwoman, Amba Tremain, a Portsmouth singer-songwriter known for a rich, gritty tone and a commanding stage presence. She blends classic soul, blues and RnB with what she calls her own cinematic flair, and the band is widely regarded as one of the UK's most exciting live acts.

2025 was a career-defining year for her. She won The Voice Award at the Portsmouth Music Awards, took The Voodoo Tour across the UK, earned four yeses and a standing ovation on Britain's Got Talent, and played the Introducing Stage at the Blues, Rhythm and Rock Festival UK. The momentum has carried into 2026, with the UK Blues Federation nominating her for 'Emerging Act of the Year' and the Portsmouth Music Awards naming Live at Peggy's Skylight as a contender for Album of the Year.

She's back on the road now with the 'Call Me Tour', delivering the 'heavy soul' sound she's become known for. This particular show is at The Lens, the Guildhall's intimate performance space, and it's billed as the band's final end-of-year performance. Tickets are £17.95, which includes a 13% booking fee.
