    Autumn 2006 and I heard Portico busking in Southbank in London. When they finished playing I went over and spoke with them. They told me they were playing again at some kind of mini festival at Embankment in about an hours time and I should come if I could. I did, and sat in a big deck chair and listened to them for an hour. I bought their EP from them, Gypsy Music. Prickly Pear was my favorite track. A year later they played at the Norwich Arts Center where I volunteered. I saw them again and briefly spoke with the sax player. When I told him I had a copy of Gypsy Music he was really chuffed. Their music has stuck with me since and I'm always taken back to those times when I hear them play.

      I too discovered them in Autumn 2006 ✌️😯
      I found them at about 1am on a channel on sky - called 'Spotlight' where I also found Nick Mulvey & Joe Driscoll.. both great artists! & although changed over the years, both still going now.
      Back to topic, I used to video record these dudes on my Sanyo Slide phone & turn it up as loud as possible without disturbing my mother in the room below! Ahhhhh the amount of people I tried to show these to between 2006-2010 then I gave up because the recording was terribly bad Quality & I started using UA-cam around 2009/2010 & discovering many amazing artists! Respect UA-cam! We love you!!
      Portico Quartet! We love you too!!! 👁️💗👁️💗👁️💗👁️

      same! It has a way of slowly working its way into you. It starts as background music until everyone starts to really "feel" it! Great music to dance and do yoga to as well :)

    I listen to this on repeat not only during my oriental themed rps but when I'm sad, mad angry, happy, lonely, bored, or just need to think. That's good music there. It doesn't matter what you need, one tune fixes all.

    • @HashslingingSLASHER92

    This song gave me a high, a sort of ecstasty I've haven't experienced in my entire life. I listened to it for a good 60 minutes before I was able to even move. Captured me in some sort of magical heaven. Everything was bliss. I hope this is how I feel when I am in heaven, in hell, something entirely else, or nothing at all. This gave me peace.
    Edit: Where can I send a text or email to the band? I'd like to give my thanks.
