Like many people, I had not visited this museum before my trip. You always hear about The World Museum located by the St.Johns gardens and the Maritime Museum which is also based on the Albert Dock. After visiting the museum I learnt things about Liverpool I had never known before including the railways which used to run through the city and how the city life has developed over time.

The museum of Liverpool explores the cultural sectors of the city. From real life examples such as costumes that The Beatles had worn, to monuments from the Hillsborough disaster which occurred in 1989. It is important for cities to have muesums which dedicate historical facts to the city, as it reflect all the beautiful things that make Liverpool, Liverpool.

For decades on decades, many Liverpudlians refer to themselves being "scouse not English". People from Liverpool have a sense of belonging and pour so much love into the city. It is rare to find a community who loves their city as much as Liverpudlians do!

Liverpool is adored by the people born and bread there. Ever since feeling seperate from the rest of the country and lack of governments support, the city has always stood together as one.

After the disaster, for years Liverpudlians had a horrific representation from the media articles. From the very start, the Liverpool fans got blamed for things such as "pushing" their way in through the barriers of the grounds. Newspapers such as The Sun ridiculed and made life hard for Liverpudlians writing lies for instance "some fans picked pockets of victims" and saying fans "urinated on the brave cops".

Liverpool Football Club has banned Sun journalists from attending matches and press conferences.

The newspaper was already barred from getting exclusive interviews with Liverpool FC managers or players, but this latest move has seen relations grow yet colder between the club and tabloid title.

The dispute stems from the Sun's front page coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, where 96 people were killed in a stadium crush, in which it wrongly accused Liverpool fans of disgraceful acts.

The fresh ban has been imposed following "high-level discussions" between Liverpool FC and campaign group Total Eclipse of the S*n, according to the Liverpool Echo.

A spokesperson for the group said: "Further to conversations with LFC directors we are happy to inform you that S*n journalists are no longer enjoy access to all club premises."

A Sun spokesperson told Press Gazette the title "deeply regrets its reporting of the tragic events at Hillsborough and understands the damage caused by those reports is still felt by many in the city".

The title has previously published apologies over its coverage, including on the front page in 2012, but it was criticised last year after failing to put the results of an inquest into the disaster on the front page.

The inquest ruled that the people who died in a crush after the football match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, were "unlawfully killed". It came after 27 years of campaigning for justice by their families.

News UK titles the Sun and Times were among the only newspapers not to splash on the outcome of the inquest.

A Sun spokesperson said: "The Sun and Liverpool FC have had a solid working relationship for the 28 years since the Hillsborough tragedy. Banning journalists from a club is bad for fans and bad for football. The Sun can reassure readers this won't affect our full football coverage."

They added: "A new generation of journalists on the paper congratulate the families on the hard fought victory they have achieved through the inquest.

"It is to their credit that the truth has emerged and, whilst we can't undo the damage done, we would like to further a dialogue with the city and to show that the paper has respect for the people of Liverpool."

Soon after, a large majority of the city boycotted the newspaper which led to dips in the sales which to this day is still not recovered. "dont buy the sun" became a huge saying in Liverpool. Journalists from The Sun were banned from entering the Liverpool FC grounds with Everton following months later. The Sun did end up apologising for there careless words, however Liverpool fans were not very accepting of this.

However, after Hillsborough incident, both clubs came together, for justice for the people who died that day. This shows the admiration everyone in Liverpool had for one another. It did not matter what club you supported, the community came together in Liverpool to show how they stick together no matter what. "Two clubs, one city."

I asked Adam how the city has inspired him and his bandmates to keep going with their music careers. He quoted to me that " The Liverpool music scene has inspired me and our band massively as we have grew up in a city constantly surrounded by the amazing history and lived our childhood through a place of active music."

He followed along telling me their story so far.

"When we started off last year we played venues such as The Jacaranda which are small capacity venues but have a big history behind them."

"This city itself is one big community where people all want what is best for each-other and watch you at every gig as you progress from small local venues to bigger stages. This even goes for friends and family who always want to encourage and support in our city."

After my fantastic trip to The Museum of Liverpool, I learnt a lot more about my city and its culture which inspired me to write and design this presentation.

With it being related to my interests mostly, and leading back to the historical moments that Liverpool has, it is an unbelievable museum that I believe everyone should visit and explore at least once when in the city.

I am proud to be from this city and doing my presentation has made me respect the hard work and passion people of Liverpool have put into making what this city is now.

Music is the lifeblood of Liverpool. It's the city's heartbeat: music is at the very heart of what sets Liverpool apart and makes it special.

In 2015, Liverpool was designated as a UNESCO City of Music, but the title merely confirmed what many people already knew - it is and always has been a music city.

Of course we are responsible for those Four Lads Who Shook the World and we celebrate that as we should. If you are a Beatles fan there is plenty to do on your pilgrimage to their birthplace. Make sure you visit the legendary Cavern Club where you can still hear live music every day or simply get your photograph taken by the wonderful Beatles statue on the waterfront.

But this Music City is about much more than its heritage. We have a flourishing music scene in a city that is full of music talent reflected in its booming live scene and range of venues. Just look at our music festivals which reflect Liverpool's international status and rich port history. We have Africa Oyé (Europe's largest African music festival), the Liverpool Irish Festival reflecting our strong Irish connections, Arabic Arts Festival, Sound City, Liverpool International Music Festival (LIMF), Fusion, Positive Vibration's reggae festival, and Psych Fest to name just a few.

We have the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (RLPO) which has an outstanding international reputation. Housed in the grandeur of the Philharmonic Hall the RLPO is the country's oldest professional orchestra. At the other end of the musical spectrum, Liverpool is also home to some of the UK's biggest club nights in the shape of Cream, Circus and Chibuku.

Music education and talent development are important in the city. Over the last decade the RLPO has run the inspiring and inclusive In Harmony project in the north of the city. Resonate, the city's music hub has worked tirelessly to ensure that every school child has a chance to learn and have access to a musical instrument. LIMF Academy has undertaken some groundbreaking work providing a launchpad into the music industry for young local talent.

If you want to study music or the music industry then Liverpool has more choices than pretty much anywhere else in the world with the three universities and the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) offering a huge range of options.

It isn't only just in musical talent than the city excels. Over the last decade it has developed a real reputation as a music industry hub with the likes of Adlib, Cream, Modern Sky, and groundbreaking digital music businesses like Sentric Music flourishing in the city.
Liverpool is music. Music is Liverpool.
