Derry has won bid even before the announcement is made

Marie-Louise Muir | 18:19 UK time, Wednesday, 14 July 2010

It is the biggest cultural story around at the moment so unashamedly I'mÌýbloggingÌýabout the UK City of Culture 2013. And blogging from ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Foyle. We're up for the live announcement tonight. But try as I might I can't get anyone to tell me who's won.

The Derry bid team are inÌýLiverpool, includingÌýthe Deputy First minister MartinÌýMcGuinness, who has cancelled an engagement in the city to do so.ÌýEd Vaizey the Culture minister willÌýmake the announcement during the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s The One Show. Ìý

Most people I talk to say they would "bet their house" on Derry winning.ÌýBut while it's all been grist to theÌýrumour mill, Ìýcheck out article in the Mail Online. According to the reporter Derry has already won!

We will know for sure tonight,ÌýI'll be live from the Guildhall 1903-2000 ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Ulster "Arts Extra".Ìý

Join me then.ÌýIt's going to be a night to remember.
