DERRY WINS UK CITY OF CULTURE!
YAY! It was just announced that my city has won the bid to become the UK's first City of Culture.
From the news release:
"Derry / Londonderry has been awarded the title because of the strong cultural programme put forward and the way it draws on the city’s past; the passion and commitment of the city and its supporters and the strong evidence of engagement across all parties and communities in the city; the potential step changes which they envisage; the highlighted economic and social benefits which being UK City of Culture could bring; and the considerable work which the city has already done in terms of planning and preparing for 2013."
