I was on a chat room the other day discussing my post about how Capital of Culture was overrated and I got the feeling he misread or understood some of my points, even though he gave decent points. Sometimes I word my posts wrong.
I didn't say It wasn't successful like he thought my point was(It has been successful most of the year), I was saying was Capital of Culture was overrated and some of the events I could not consider capital of culture as they weren't unique and that we already get without Capital of Culture.
We wouldn't of got things like La Machine the bland regeneration In the city centre and the MTV EMA awards without the Capital Of Culture.
As for Liverpool one, that was planned before COC, but would they have approved It If Liverpool wasn't trying to win the COC? Places like Newcastle and Birmingham bidded for COC also and were regenerating areas to try and win It too.
Theres the fact a lot of the culture company event organisers wern't even from Liverpool and most of them ended up having to be paid off because of the contracts they had.
