The BBC, the British national broadcaster, along with the European Broadcasting Union, have been awarded the first ever Liverpool UNESCO City of Music Award.

The Liverpool UNESCO City of Music Award is given to those that have given outstanding contribution to the local music industry. Harry Doyle, Liverpool’s Cabinet Member for Culture, had the following to say:

“We were never in doubt that the BBC would stage an incredible show at the arena – and the record-breaking viewing figures are a testament to their achievements – but what is really special is how they, and the EBU, embraced the city, they got to know our story and our heritage and they helped us showcase the very best of Liverpool to the world.”
