News comes today that Liverpool has been voted the most musical city in the UK.
So tell us something we don't know?!
Ten cities have been competing over six weeks for the title, organised by the Arts Council and voted for by the public - and yes, I was one of them.
Apparently Liverpool took a storming 49% of the total vote.
We were followed by Sheffield, birth place of Arctic Monkeys and Pulp, and then in third place by Manchester.
Leicester and Birmingham made up the top five.
As the winning city, Liverpool will be represented by The Affection – an unsigned local band who will perform in front of 5,000 people at this September’s End of the Road Festival in Dorset.
Gordon Ross, Music Co-ordinator for Liverpool Culture Company is reporting as saying : “Liverpool's music scene is renowned the world over – this award is great news for the city and should serve to encourage those seeking to build on that legacy.
"The city today has a phenomenal pool of talent and its exciting that now, more than ever, it has the venues, the studios, the promoters and the festivals to nurture new ideas and faces to carry on the city's best musical traditions.�
So there you go.
