Artist Bill Drummond shares his vision and memories of Belfast.

Artist Bill Drummond shares his vision and memories of Belfast - recalling glamorous 1930s cinemas, spontaneous creative happenings and the smell of the mountain heather.

When artist Bill Drummond discovered Belfast wasn't twinned with anywhere he made a sign and put it up under the city's welcome notice. It said 'Belfast: Twinned with Your Wildest Dreams'. In this programme, Bill shares his vision of the city: his memories of glamorous 1930s cinemas with glittering curtains, of spontaneous creative happenings and a landscape where the smell of the mountain heather seeps down to the city centre. With a range of urban guides, Bill offers a tour of Belfast unlike any you've heard before.
