Hull – The City of Culture!!!  What a night!!!

The only fly in the ointment is the lamentable Hull City Council. There are still road-works and open sites, lots of construction sites!! It all should have been finished in time! They should have pulled out all the stops! This was Hulls big chance to shine and they have let us down again!!

The New Theatre closed!! It is a joke!!

Hull is brilliant! We had a SUPERB display! Why oh why don’t the council get themselves sorted out?

Proud of Hull!!! – Hull City of Culture Light Show – The Deep!

I went along to Hull yesterday to see the Light Show put on for the Hull City of Culture. The guys had done a brilliant job! They did the city proud!!

Here’s a few photos from the light show at the Pier on the Deep!

It had a great theme of Departures and Arrivals that showed how Hull, through the ages, has been connected to the world. A great proud port!! None of this xenophobic rubbish. It showed the enrichment, commerce and prosperity!
