Jools goes to Portmeirion, Wales.

From One Foot in the Past. Jools Holland visits Portmeirion in Wales, which is perhaps better known as the location of the 1960s TV-series The Prisoner. However, it was actually build by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis as an architectural demonstration: the village enhancing the surroundings, rather than surplanting them. Part of the One Foot in the Past, dating from 1994.

    Fitting that Portmeirion became a famous film set given that it was designed like one: mostly facades and illusions. Wonderful place, I visited when I was about ten years old and must go back one day. Has to be part of a holiday though as an awkward place for a day trip from home unless you are lucky enough to live nearby.

    I remember Jools co-hosting a musical show with jazz legend David Sandborn in the US for 2 years. It was called Micellob presents Sunday Night aka Music Night.

    I often wonder how many days filming were interrupted by rain, as in the Prisoner the sun is always shining... something not that common in North Wales!
