Hilsea's musical gun fortress

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ reporter Bob Diggles meets Paul Caruana to learn how an old fortress in Portsmouth became a music studio.

When Hilsea's military defences were made in the mid-1800s it would have been hard to envision them storing bass drums instead of bombs, two centuries later.

One of the historic bomb-proof gun fortress has been transformed into a music studio and cafΓ©, fit for modern times.

And of course our Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ reporter Bob Diggles had to go and check it out with its owner Paul Caruana.
