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.

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?

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.

Although, I did get to meet Tony Livesey.
