Congratulations to Derry / Londonderry winning the UK City of Culture title. They are going to need a shedload of money to make it happen in 2013, so here’s a thought ….
Release a new version of “Teenage Kicks” with the likes of Feargal Sharkey, Dana, Peter Cunnah and James Galway, with all proceeds going to the organisation.
The BBC did a fantastic version of Louy Reid’s “Perfect Day” once as a promotional video. Here’s the link:
It strikes me as a pretty decent way of illustrating the breadth of talent coming out of the city across all aspects of life – a might raise a bob or two along the way.

Mike,
I am presently based in Liverpool. When we won City of Culture here it transformed the city for the better. Let us hope that it does the same for Londonderry. Londonderry, like Liverpool, is a unique and wonderful place!
Alex.
Good idea Mike. They have a good team there but you could give added weight even though you’re from Belfast!
