    I'll go for Leeds, seeing as it's where I live at the moment :) I think they'd all be good places to host, though!

    I think London was on the longlist, but didn't make the shortlist @Sandy_123. I think I recall seeing it was the same with Belfast.

    Anywhere South of London - the North has had the Commonwealth Games! Can't have all the Flat Cap wearing, Whippet owning northerners getting everything, eh @Ross_Scope and @janer1967?

    Liverpool
    Manchester has a Ukrainian culture centre and museum, so perhaps there if not Liverpool, the home of the best musicians in popular culture.

    Hi ,

    I think Eurovision should be held in the North East.

     What does it tell you when the North gets everything @Siwheels73? It shows that us northerners are very hospitable, friendly people, who can put on great shows.

     HA'WAY THE NORTHERNERS! Lol.

    Newcastle,Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds. Any of them cities could put on a great Eurovision. 

    That's interesting @Karen7788 about Manchester, it would actually be the ideal choice of venue.

    Liverpool
    My heart says Liverpool, but I think Manchester would be ideal. I think the first recorded Ukrainian to settle in Manchester was in the late 1890s @MadCow1 and lots more have settled in Greater Manchester over the years. I’m sure there are other large Ukrainian communities throughout the country though.

    I'm sure there is. I know there's a few Ukrainian communities in the North East.
