I suppose ,having had a Christian upbringing, I'm doing God s work in trying to reach the dark souls on here gorging themselves on Liverpool s former reputation . I say former ,as both you and I know, the city is pre eminent in many respects ,not least classical music , at which many on here would express surprise.
I moved to Wirral in 76 and worked Liverpool for around thirty years . Never lived there but I know the city and it's quirky people. Programmes like this illustrate how unique Liverpool is in British history . It's truly a city with character albeit with many flaws but boring it ain't.
I consider myself lucky to live where I do and to be near such a magnificent ,flawed and simply fookn incredible potpouri of a City
Keep it to yourself but I was once officer in charge of "activities" around the Anglican Cathdral area as the working girls were upsetting the worshippers . It was like shoving you finger into a large burst dyke

"the city is pre eminent in many respects ,not least classical music , at which many on here would express surprise. "
Don't be so bloody ridiculous. Liverpool isn't even pre-eminent in the North West for classical music.
The RLPO is a perfectly good second or third tier orchestra and Petrenko a good young up and coming conductor.

I would say it has more of a theatre tradition, obviously not comparable with London but nowhere else in the UK is, through the Everyman and Playhouse. The Philharmonic is lovely Art Deco venue, but have little knowledge of classical music to rank its orchestra in terms of national or international reputation. Public art, either via the excellent galleries (Walker, Tate, VGM) and museums, or the number of free events is a strength which of course the European Capital of Culture largely reinforced. With the exception of the WNO, there is far more on in Liverpool than Cardiff, despite the 'capital' status it enjoys. Indeed Cardiff has always been relatively poor for theatre.
That is not to say there are not many social issues in parts of Liverpool-there clearly are, just as there are in many parts of South Wales. It is an interesting city, more distinctive in character than many which are considered as 'lovely places' but increasingly full of identikit shops, bars and restaurants. The independent spirit is something that is strong here-good and bad, but at least interesting | | | |

The orchestra's fine, but as I say, second or third tier (probably third if you rank LSO, BBCSO, RPO, Philharmonia etc as first tier in UK and Halle, CBSO, NOW etc as second).
Disagree about the 'more on' to be honest. Just on the theatre front, there's now the rather excellent National Theatre of Wales which is very recent, but has a particularly strong reputation. There's obviously the Millenium Centre, the Sherman, The New. WNO as you mention. Music Theatre Wales. The NOW as I've mentioned above.
Swansea has a strong arts scene as well, it's particularly strong for example in modern dance (the Taliesin is an excellent venue). But also groups such as Swansea City Opera which have a very good reputation. Plus the Dylan Thomas, as well as the stuff like Swansea Festival etc. The newly reopened Glyn Vivian is really good as well.
Anyway, the comment that was stupid was that Liverpool is preeminent in classical music. which, as I say, is a complete nonsense. | | | |

There is no one in the world you could talk to that would think that the RLPO is preeminent in the UK.
There is no one in the world that you could talk to that would think it's preeminent in the North West of England even, given the Halle is based in Manchester. | | | |

Liverpool is celebrated in song by football fans from all over with 'they look in a dustbin', a bit dated now but makes most top 10 of footie songs. |  |

The song reflects what Liverpool is known for, it's a nod to their history, just like the Brighton song of 'sit down', it's all banter.
I love the sheep chants, Wales fans have embraced it and sing 1-0 to the sheep........ if we take the lead. | |

Second in the series coming up soon.
How the poor were treated by the wealthy is pretty shocking | |
