Thread Name: Shanties rejected by Liverpool
Subject: RE: Shanties rejected by Liverpool
The massive city centre building project currently happening in Liverpool will transform the city's shopping area. What is the project called? The Paradise Project. And it's called that because it is centred on the Paradise St area. AND, folkies all over the world know the Liverpool folk song " Blow the Man Down", which, of course, begins with the words, " As I was a walking down Paradise Street...". You've have thought the council would have jumped at the chance of exploiting that connection and revelled at opportunity of having shanty singers blasting it out! Talk about lack of foresight.
