Liverpool named Capital of Culture
This a thoroughly deserved win: Liverpool is the city that needs the investment the most and it’s the city that can do the most with this title. But more than that, we’ve demonstrated that there is more to culture than art galleries, theatres and orchestras. Liverpool has all that, but culture is not something just to be enjoyed by society’s elite. Culture is something everybody should be able to enjoy. Going to the match on Saturday afternoons, going to the pub with your mates, going to a Paul McCartney concert. All of that is important to our culture, and our bid reflected that.
Now excuse me, I’m off to do a little victory dance. 🙂
