LIVERPOOL'S Capital of Culture bid is to get a melodic boost. A Culture anthem will be unveiled tonight (Monday, February 10) to help boost the city's chances of winning. The anthem will be sung by celebrities at Liverpool town hall including Hollyoaks actress Mikyla Dodd and the Love and Joy choir. And the World's fastest speaker, Steve Woodmore, will challenge people to sing the song and beat his 600 words a minute. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT Liverpool Culture Company chairman Prof Peter Toyne, who will be at the launch, said: "The anthem's appeal is that it is catchy, witty, articulate and humourous. It perfectly expresses the spirit and unique personality of Liverpool. "But it also delivers some very powerful messages about the new Liverpool." The Capital of Culture winner will be announced in June from a shortlist that also includes Cardiff, Birmingham, Newcastle, Oxford and Bristol. Culture bosses hope the opening of a number of new projects will boost the city's chances including the £9m FACT centre specialising in digital art, the release of film Revenger's Tragedy which was filmed in the city and the extension and refurbishment of the Static Gallery. The words of the anthem in full are: Got the go, got the get, Got the will, got the want, Got the skill, got the scope, Got the range, got the reach, Got the life, got the love, Got the urge, got the edge!
