Hull's musical heritage is celebrated in a mural on Clumber Street

Hull is set to bid to become a Unesco Creative City of Music.

The council's cabinet signed off a five-year plan for boosting music in the city
on Monday, which includes applying to the scheme.

Some 1,200 people were consulted on the strategy which also seeks to encourage
people from all kinds of backgrounds involved in cultural activities.

Councillor Rob Pritchard, portfolio holder for culture and leisure, said the
plan was "far-reaching" and "offers the city a real direction in which to move
our cultural scene forward".



The Unesco scheme aims to promote co-operation "among cities that have
identified creativity as a strategic factor for sustainable urban development".

Glasgow became the first UK city to be awarded the status in 2008, followed by
Liverpool in 2015 and Belfast in 2021.

The strategy includes the publication of the city's first music plan, which will
be published in the new year alongside the Unesco submission.

Other ambitions detailed in the plan include:

 * Enabling all residents to take part in and enjoy cultural activities
 * Using culture and heritage to make the city more competitive and create
   economic growth
 * Increasing national and international cultural partnerships.

Kath Wynne-Hague, the council's head of culture, said the strategy would "make
Hull a global leader and a forward-thinking place to make and experience quality
music".

The strategy will be formally launched on 14 March as part of the Cultural Tides
conference at Hull Truck Theatre.
