´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Wales is planning a special week of programmes in June to celebrate links with Liverpool which is the - and producers need your help.
Among the programmes, Eye on Wales is focussing on the connection between North Wales and its unofficial "capital".
Producer Andy Fry asks: Ten years after the NE Wales voted against devolution, has your focus shifted towards Cardiff, or given the historical links between North Wales and Liverpool, do you identify more with the Capital of Culture? We'd like to hear your Liverpool stories. Are you from Liverpool but now living or working in North Wales? Or vice versa? What took you across the border?
Post your stories here or email Eye on Wales at eyeonwales@bbc.co.uk
Meanwhile, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Wales family history series, Look up your Genes is currently putting together a programme and producers ask: Do you have a family connection to Liverpool? If you have a story to tell about your ancestors, someone born in the city whose family moved to Wales, or perhaps you know of a forebear who upped sticks and moved to Liverpool to begin a new life. Whatever your story, do get in touch
Continuing the history theme, online we have tied in with Wrexham Council's Art Festival and the specially commissioned play, We'll Keep a Welcome [being staged in June] which deals with the stories of Liverpool evacuees sent to live in North Wales during WWII. [Now we want more memories]
Can you tell us of any Liverpool-Welsh connections? Here are some:
