The Portcast

The microphone is set aside and the phonographs are dusted off as Mister Fish brings us what is hopefully the last instalment of the isolation series - Lets Boogie - anticipating the expectant return to the dancefloor. Enjoy.

A year ago our good mate, best friend and brother Andrew Dunbar left us. Under different circumstances a few of us would most likely be having the biggest celebration of his life that we possibly could by playing music as loud as we possibly could, gathered together with all his friends & family. That day for now is on hold, but that day will come, and it will be special beyond belief for us all when it happens.

For now, here is a selection of music compiled and dedicated to Dunbar by his friends, along with personal memories and stories allowing us to reflect and remember one of the main things that connected Andrew with us all. The Music.

We hope this brings everyone some comfort and positivity at this time when we reflect on missing Dunbar so much. We know he’ll be listening, rhyming & singing every word. Sorry in advance bro for any dodgy editing & mixing!

We would like to thank every single person that helped make this happen... this is for everyone. Andrew Dunbar Forever.

Lockdown 2.0 - Back in our own office / bedroom / kitchens to discuss the highs and lows of lockdown life. Frank and Hammy dispute bicycle parts, MV stays awake to provide the soundtrack, Tosh keeps us informed on the Atlantic situation and Hammy misses Big Wednesday.

We're back! After a 2 year hiatus the boys are back on the pod. Fred gathers the crew remotely as the studio overlooking the beautiful west bay is no more. Frank is a new man after undergoing a RAM upgrade, we pay tribute to our great friend Andrew Dunbar and are accompanied by the usual suspects Hammy and Toosh. MV is also online and provides the choice tunes inbetween catching a few Z's.

A Tribute to Alias of Anticon RIP. Frank & Fred get back to the studio after a bit of a hiatus, they are joined by the whole crew - Tosh, Hammy and MV. A story about Sid Vicious, the perils of K2, 20 Years of Gangstarr, an unreleased beat by Boca 45 and our very own WBC title holder.

Frank is on a mission - how to get clean buckled in about an hour! Hammy and Fred try and keep things coherent with information on the upcoming beer festival - much to Franks disapproval! MV is on point as usual with Old to the New, Oi Oi we're the brews and pastries take center stage in Port Fiction.

Frank has to pull himself away from Sky Sports and The Open to squeeze in a bit of hosting. Hammy is in the studio and Fred's better half Karamara makes an appearance for the tail end of the show. A prank call to Mark takes center stage and Frank and Hammy lock horns about tradition and headwear. MV on point with the beats.

Finally Episode 33 albeit V2 gets recorded, a skeletal staff of Frank, Fred and MV in the studio but we have a live feed for Hammy from a brewery in Liverpool! The usual segments, sterling tunes and entertainment guaranteed.

Frank has himself a new crack pipe and plenty of peripherals in his avon make up bag, this sets him in fine fettle for the evenings antics. The usual vagabonds are in attendance with MV providing the beats in Old to the New, Hammy and TK take the plunge into fatherhood and Man Vs Snake in the classic 80's arcade game Nibbler.
