Liverpool is a city which takes culture seriously – and that affects how it feels to live, work or holiday there. 

There have been many highlights, such as Eurovision, the Giants, the Tall Ships and all the great sporting events which take place around the city region.

How did it all begin – and why does the city invest so much in the arts?  

The answers may surprise you, in this frank conversation with Claire McColgan CBE, Director of Culture and Major Events at Liverpool City Council and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.

Claire is speaking to Caroline Kenyon and this is the first of two episodes, starting with a look back at how it all began – and the bumps along the way.
