Pennine Lancashire City of Culture

It has been announced that 29 cities or areas have put themselves forward to be named City of Culture in 2013.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | UK City of Culture list unveiled

I've been asked on BBC Radio Lancashire's breakfast programme tomorrow morning, as a cultural ambassador for the area, to discuss this and to discuss how important culture is in our lives.

Please listen in at 7am.

I think they do an online repeat. I'm not sure you'd have to check on BBC Radio Lancashire's website.

Re: Pennine Lancashire City of Culture

there was a thing on the news tonight about chorley perhaps being city of culture - which got me wondering - how can a town become a city of culture?

Re: Pennine Lancashire City of Culture

Well that was a bit of a flop.

I had to get up at silly o'clock for two minutes air time and I completely forgot the mention the Folk Festival and the Coppice Celebratory event.

Next time I'm asked to be on the breakfast show I think I may have a prior engagement - with my bed. :D

Although, I did get to meet Tony Livesey.

He is scruff who appears on Granada TV newscasts.
I imagine he dresses even scruffier for his radio work.
He always looks unkempt and needing a shave.

PS that opinion is formed from the few times I have seen him on TV
...anyone else think the same?...or am I misjudging the man?

Re: Pennine Lancashire City of Culture

No, you're right Margaret - very scruffy.

Re: Pennine Lancashire City of Culture

I got it wrong - not Granada - BBC NWest - same misinformation specialists
Glad to see that someone else thinks he's a scruff.

As for getting up at silly oclock just for that and 2 mins air time you must be bonkers.

as Tony Livesey is probably worth more than us, he's entitled to be as scruffy as he wants in my book.:D

Thats no excuse, in that case he should be setting an example in proper standards. not acting like he's the new Compo of television.
