And you can see the push is really on to make sure that this bid is seen as Northern Ireland-wide, not just on the far side of the Glenshane Pass.Ìý
The other day I was driving down the Castlereagh Road when I sawÌýnot one, but two, billboards, promoting Derry~Londonderry as a cultural capital. They're part of a Northern Ireland Tourist Board campaign. "An arts scene like no other" says one, two young people on the Derry walls, playing guitars, the famous walls and one of the canons used in the Siege in the background.Ìý
As Van Morrison, born not a million miles away from where these billboards are now hung, once said "wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time?"
