    A chap buying my books last weekend - I don't know whether to take the fact he didn't want to appear on camera as an insult

    Hello all

    A poet acquaintance of mine, a former Merseysider, who now lives in Yorkshire visited the Museum of Liverpool recently with his wife and sent me the following impressions on the Museum as well as of attending a performance at The Playouse:

    "On Thursday evening we went to a performance of The Ladykillers at The Playhouse (the screenplay adapted for the stage: entertaining).


    "Next day we visited the new Museum of Liverpool. Despite the weather – it was a grey and chilly day – the building struck us as impressive both outside and in. (But we hate those black shiny glass apartment buildings they have put up next to the Port of Liverpool building: they spoil the view in all directions and look completely out of place.)

    "As to the displays, we found many of interest and all very well mounted. We were disappointed, however, that once again Liverpool seems intent on presenting to the world a stereotype of itself. While it is true that the city has contributed a great deal to popular culture, in the twentieth century it was always more – much more – than a working-class city addicted to pop music and football. For example, we found only one small and very dull panel referring to the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall and its orchestra. In my youth and young-man’s years in Liverpool (at school and university) I remember vividly classical concerts with world-renowned soloists, as well as concerts by the likes of Duke Ellington, Muddy Waters, the MJQ, Buck Clayton and Errol Garner. My own piano teacher (Liverpool born and bred) had been a soloist with the Hallé and a regular accompanist to Kathleen Ferrier. One prominent video display (perhaps you recall this) was a series of clips from interviews with Liverpool people celebrating as typical of scousers such qualities as being 'hard', 'independent', 'mouthy', 'fast-talking' and challenging authority whenever it appears. I mention these as instances – there were others – of Liverpool selling itself short in favour of confirming the widely held stereotype of the place.

    "Even so, our visit was enjoyable. It’s always good to see the river again.

    "All the best to a one-time scouser! (Once a scouser always a scouser?)."

    Well, got my official V.I.P. invitation this morning to attend the opening of the new galleries in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. I can post it here as there is a security code and photographic evidence required upon admission.

    I am also invited to give a talk on gallery at the site at my model towards the end of March. This apparently after the museum attendants have had many enquiries as to the model builder with questions asked that they understandably could not answer.

    The visit to the city will again undoubtedly give Liverpool more media coverage in the good light it has attracted for some time now.
