Marley Brothers strike gold in Liverpool?
A source close to the Capital of Culture has leaked the price of the opening night production costs of the Liverpool Echo Arena.
The opening gala will see Dave Stewart, formerly Eurythmics, arrive from LA with full production and crew to launch the night.
It has been alleged the total cost is been estimated at 35 million pounds.
Capital of Culture apparently willing to pay this lucrative fee are supposedly 22 million pounds short of their budget target.
It is also been leaked that Marley Brothers have been offered 5 million pounds to perform at a launch show around the same time.
Is this cause for concern for local business and do we feel money is being correctly dispensed?
