Portico Quartet shared a stage with Dirty Projectors and Avi Buffalo at the Glastonbury Festival where they impressed Jamie Cullum so much he invited them to perform on his BBC 2 program.

The group also played to a packed crowd at the Barbican Center in London, where The Times reported, "the applause was close to thunderous." Recent Mercury Prize nominees Foals were in the audience and later name-checked Portico Quartet as an influence in an interview with BBC radio.

More dates are soon to be announced.
