- In this week’s podcast Mr Urban Banx himself Alan Blair joins Hassan for the first in a special miniseries all about his life in angling “From The Beginning”
In this episode Alan talks about his humble beginnings in fishing all the way through to the point at which he got his job at Nash Tackle. As to be expected from Alan it’s certainly not your stereotypical journey and it has everything from wholesome family memories, awesome old school captures through to the craziness of the rave scene and his previous work as a lecturer.
There’re more than a few shocking and colourful tales about how Alan carved his way through his early years defining and developing his angling as well as himself as a person. We just know that you are going to enjoy the next 2hrs!

The way alan was talking about looking up to Terry hearn.. I think that’s how a lot of us lads nowadays think about alan cause I know I certainly do! What a boy he is
We need an Alan Blair book in our life’s
Totally agree. I would buy Alan's book for sure for long winter evenings.
What he said at the start tho it wouldn’t be like another fisherman’s book from the start of his fishing it would be a photo with a little piece of writing. I’d still buy it though
This man is nothing short of a legend bruv!!! Mad Respect OG
Respect to Alan, a lovely genuine guy, and with heroes like John Wilson and Terry Hearn, he is, in my book, sound as a pound!
This guy is seriously enthusiastic and an inspiration to fishing, he works relentlessly from the passion he shows in his videos, to the mega carps he catches relentlessly.
What a great human being
That was amazing, loved every second can’t wait for the next one!
Fantastic podcast. ..alan is always a great watch/listen definitely inspirational ..fishing apprenticeship completed..👍👍👍
Love this, it's lovely to see how anglers progress. Sometimes these "top" anglers seem to get the good jobs. It is interesting and good to relate to how the normal man progresses. It's better to talk than just see the glamour. Well done boys, very humble. Tight lines.
What a legend could listen to his story’s for many hours 👌🏻
There's always interest when Alan talks!
I have been waiting for an Alan Blair podcast but this is something else 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Can’t wait for part 2!! What a sound guy Alan is! 👍🏼
Thanks for spending the time for sharing. Really enjoyable. Takes me back to my early days. Just any chance to go anywhere!
Awesome geezer 💪💪❤❤
Cracking listen, alot of parallels to my own life's 'journey so relate to it a LOT.
One thing I do wonder though is, did Big Al eat as many pills as the carp ate boilies in his early years? 🤣
Quality as always lads.
loved it! life of Alan
Shout out Shanager! Boom!
I caught my biggest fish with Alan at the balance lakes at wolverton mill! Ha, what a lad!
Been waiting for Alan's one 😀😀
I get what Alan says about how raving consumes you. I never fitted in at school but I started raving at college/university and suddenly I had a whole family of close mates, amazing music etc I felt part of something. To me it was absolutely the pinnacle of everything. For want of a better analogy I was totally hooked. Well feel like I can relate to your experience Alan. Omg I went to Global around then too lol
What a great PodCast, brings back memories of fishing with my Granddad/Dad - wicker basket day and all....!
Fantastic! So insightful .....I lived in Hitchin for many years, and have fished many of the places Alan mentions, ..I wonder...he must have fished Briar Patch just outside Harlington, with the three lakes and the bungalow....may have become a syndicate though by that time he was there...miss that fishery. Awesome and looking forward to part two :).
hello from cyprus , been watching all your podcast up to now the last two podcast have been the best so far briliant well done.
Big up John W, inspiration to many of us of our era.

Love that pic of Alan in the tent at global gathering 🥴
The best podcast to date, awsome to hear Alan's past scarily not to dissimilar to mine. Like myself tho says that his past has help shape him to who he is now. That is the view I have as well.

Thank you Matt! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Brilliant podcast
Big ups
Just finished part 1 of Blair witch project, great stand-in guest for lockdown 4 Hussan.
Great interview, lots to read between the lines. Kinda wish you had been explicit about how partying wasn't always a good thing because of the illicit side of it but also get why you kept that out of the story. Respect
Boss podcast
mega podcast!
Nice one lads. Wish Korda could keep them going with Covid 😩 If that place was the return rooms bit small for Nash innnit? 🙊😋
Running around, drumming up hype to put on raves? Thats Marketing....
Alan is great at his job.
Nice video 💪🏽
Can somebody explain what he meant by check spreading the carp gear please
Early version of finance, pay for gear with cheques spread over a course of months like a payment plan
Nice
When you worked at the Suttleworth college- was that in Old Warden? If so we probably put most the fish in that lake in the woods in the 80's :)
It was indeed Old Warden 👍
Great Podcast ! Hassans mastering the craft !
Thanks for listening
