I agree completely.Is the call for an Irish festival in any way predicated on our perceptions of what such a festival would entail? Music, dancing and drinking? (before anyone jumps on me I'm referring to general perceptions rather than reality).
Essentially, Irish festivals are equated with having a good time.
What does a Welsh festival involve? My perception is that it would be far more serious in nature and therefore less populist than an Irish festival. Not trying to offend the Welsh out there - I just have no knowledge of what a Welsh festival consists of.
I don't want to generalise on behalf of all others on this thread, but surely the general perception of an Irish festival is more positive, from a fun sense, than a Welsh festival?
If you had to the vote, I'm betting most would stump for the festival they'd most enjoy than the one with the strongest links to scouse heritage.
I'll get me coat....
And me tin hat...
This has pretty much been my impression in my (insignificant) 15 years here.
Benjy, I do not rant. All calm reasoned responses. In fact, I am as cool as a cucumber.

Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

and that is why I say I have the good fortune to have been born in Liverpool.
.. and I tell my son the same thing - to be glad he was born in Liverpool - the centre of the universe.

that did make me laugh
Absolutely .... 'rant' was a bit of a typo ..... I meant to put 'pointless bigoted ramblings'.Benjy, I do not rant. All calm reasoned responses. In fact, I am as cool as a cucumber.
It's funny how your fingers hit the wrong keys by accident sometimes.
Now that is taking it a bit too far!!!L8 is the real Liverpool.
re being born in Walton:
being born within the sounds of the historic Walton church bells makes you are true Scouser ;
I like saying it, and I always say it
well, Walton is named in the Doomsday book isn't it ?? I'm too lazy to go look up the facts, but I'm sure it was a ye olde township of Walton on the Hill before Liverpool was thought of.
Lost count of the number of times I've mistyped 'Twit'.
Can't we also have an 08 Festival for black, one eyed, one legged, lesbians. I mean we can't leave them out can we ? If ANYBODY wants to join in ,,,,, let's welcome them with open arms and just have a load of fun.
Toxteth is named in the Doomsday book (prior to Liverpool) .... didn't realise Walton was pre Liverpool as well.re being born in Walton:

(According to Wikipedia, Walton was probably 'Wales-town' (or at least the ancient way of spelling Wales) - back to the Welsh thing ... d@mn!....)
Where is it highlighted that we are clearly not Predominately Irish decent???
Nowhere, apart from in your feeble brain. only you highlight such things, nobody else. read your history books.
OMG you must be God. all obey and do as i say
Who said single out one? where is that said????
I asked for an Irish one, not to deny anyone else their right.
again an assumption by your tiny brain.
If the city gets involved in one then it has to get involved in them all.Who said single out one? where is that said????

Its you who is not impressed. who are the many??? name them.Many here are not impressed as they actually know the history of the city.
These Liverpool Irish. Who were they? Where did they live? What did they look like? What did they do? Where did they meet? What language did they speak? I never ever came across any of them despite being brought up in L8. I looked once and never found any.
These Liverpool Irish, they where Irish people who moved here, not so hard to understand is it? they lived North of the city at first, now all over Liverpool.
They looked like everyone else( although your puny mind will of course picture Leprechauns ) they met where ever they liked, where do you meet? They spoke English like you, of course some would have their own language, but would use English in public.
You have never met an Irish person in Liverpool ?
you have said some stupid things, but that really has you down as an idiot. call the white coats.
Such mythical people. just proves that all you want to do is argue on here by making such a foolish statement.
I havn't heard that one beforeWikipedia is a bit suspect tho'
Walton was definately an old township though, and mentioned in the Doomsday book as far as I can remember. I am too busy to read up on it.
I seem to recall reading that it was the first stop off place for travellers - it was before Liverpool was developing.
