Sheffield shortlisted for City of Culture
« on: February 24, 2010, 08:54:20 AM »
Sheffield-born actor Sean Bean said: "I am delighted to support Sheffield's bid to become the first UK City of Culture in 2013.

"Sheffield boasts an impressive array of cultural facilities, events and celebrations and is renowned for its diverse festivals around the city.

"As a city that prides itself on its history of creating culture, Sheffield has the passion and the capacity to make it happen.

"My message to the city is: Good luck with the shortlist, I think you've got the ability to go all the way and win it."

Derry is also shortlisted for City of Culture, don't know which celebrity will front the campaign, but have an awful feeling it will be Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud!! So bring it on Bean, if you think your hard enough!! LOL.

Well Liverpool has won it once ,doesnt that tell you something.

But how could these numbnuts shortlist Derby and ignore all the culture in Nottingham . Plus we've got a better football team than the others.

I am not biased in any way whatsoever .

p.s. Sheffield City centre outskirts is just one gigantic building site.
