Trailer for: Liverpool can do anything now - Claire McColgan CBE
07/09/23 • 2 min
Want to hear from the woman who has played a major contribution to the renaissance of Liverpool?
Since winning European Capital of Culture in 2008 Liverpool’s transformation as a national and international visitor destination has accelerated to 71 million visitors to our city in 2022. At the centre and now at the helm of delivering world class events has been Director of Culture Liverpool, Claire McColgan CBE.
Alongside her incredibly loyal team and in partnership with stakeholders, Claire has delivered iconic moments embedded in the memories of the masses in Liverpool and beyond. Highlights include:-
- 2008 - a Giant Spider sprayed us with water as she walked around our city centre
- 2012, 14 and 18 - we watched in awe, and took to our hearts, 50 ft Giants immersing ourselves in the magic of their story
- 2015 - "The Three Queens” Victoria, Mary and Elizabeth cruise liners danced on The Mersey to celebrate 175 years of Cunard’s presence in the city
- Liverpool FC end of season parades with images of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront shared across the world
- 2016 - The city united on the steps of St Georges Hall and the words “Truth" and “Justice” reflected the emotion of the affected Hillsborough families and fans who, after almost 30 years, were finally and formally exonerated
- 2023 - Liverpool hosted an unparalleled Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine when all of Claire's exceptional diplomatic, creative and leadership skills delivered something extraordinary for the UK.
We also talk about how during the pandemic Claire and her team courageously put Liverpool’s hand up to mass testing and crucially led on ensuring large scale events returned to the UK and Europe - which you will hear was an incredibly stressful and emotional time for Claire personally.
Today, Liverpool’s cultural confidence is booming so let’s talk on to walk on with the woman who has been instrumental in making it all happen, Claire McColgan CBE.

Just Us - our podcast reflections
This is the first of our Just Us episodes where Patrick and I talk about mind health and wellness topics or quite simply what’s on our minds.
In this episode we discuss Talk on to Walk on; our purpose and goals is an initial theme whilst looking back and reflecting on some of our most recent guests and their fabulous conversational contributions.
We remind ourselves and our listeners that:-
It's ok to feel the way we do on certain days and in certain moments.
Despite guest differences, there was a common theme of how younger and older generations can all influence, learn from and inspire each other.
Our guests have developed their own life confidence in different ways and
Every-one has their own very different story and life experiences to share and, through the power of opening up, can have a huge impact on others.
All worthy reminders for our regular listeners but also, if you haven’t listened to our podcast before, this episode is a great place to start.
