Looking for the perfect Valentine’s Night soundtrack? Head to The Port in The Precinct on Portishead High Street for a special evening of live music with Grace Martinson, performing from 8pm.

A former Gordano School student, Grace has gone on to become a professionally trained singer, actor, dancer, teacher and musician. Armed with her acoustic guitar and a beautifully versatile voice, she blends her own original material with well-loved pop, rock and blues classics from across the decades.

Grace’s performances move effortlessly from soulful ballads to upbeat crowd-pleasers, with each song delivered with warmth, authenticity and emotional depth. What truly sets her apart is her natural ability to connect with an audience, drawing listeners into the story of every song and creating an intimate, memorable atmosphere.

Whether you’re planning a romantic night out or simply looking for great live music in relaxed surroundings, this Valentine’s Day performance promises something special.
