On Friday 4th, I attended a supporters' event at the new Echo Arena in Liverpool. Due to my role as an ambassador for the city throughout its status as the European Capital of Culture 2008, I had been invited, along with other ambassadors and volunteers, for a preview of the building.
Several local bands, including Major Major, Forsaken and The Farm, performed on stage, with local radio DJ Pete Price introducing both them and braving the mic to sing "When you Walk Through a Storm". This event enabled the arena staff to have a dry run prior to its official opening celebrations.
While the plain interior is entirely utilitarian, this new arena can seat 10,000 people, and will herald a new era of entertainment in Liverpool, which apparently boasts the fastest growing economy of any other British city.

However, a cardinal crime was committed by the catering, which ran out of milk. No milk for my cup of tea? Bah! Never mind - it'll be alright on the night!

That's excellent Adele. I hope many more people will support our capital of culture this year. I think the people of surrounding Merseyside and Cheshire should take full advantage of the art and productions which will be hosted by our historical city. Sonja
