How did Portishead form and create Dummy?

Geoff Barrow and Beth Gibbons met during an Enterprise Allowance course in February 1991. They began recording ideas in Neneh Cherry’s kitchen in London while Barrow worked on Cherry’s Homebrew album. They recorded at Coach House Studios in Bristol, where guitarist Adrian Utley joined them. The first song finished for the album was ‘It Could Be Sweet’ in 1991.
