Matt Everitt talks to Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley from Portishead about their earliest musical influences, the first albums they bought, the first gigs they went to and their '94 debut 'Dummy'.

They also discuss Adrian's past as a session guitarist and Geoff's as a drummer, engineer and producer with a deep passion for hip hop and an understanding of sampling, the band's refusal to engage with the traditional music industry, having a bandmate, Beth Gibbons, who never speaks to the media, and the covert, political heart of the group.
