Nick Riddle

Retired barrister, Nick, spent most of his career in Liverpool, most recently at Atlantic Chambers, specialising in company, land and property law and is a keen supporter of music and the arts in the city.

Nick, along with his partner and fellow Campaign Ambassador, Robin Bloxidge, are members of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society and regular attendees at the University’s Lunchtime Concerts. We caught up with Nick after he and Robin had attended a special MA student showcase concert in the Victoria Gallery & Museum to find out more.

Why is music important to you?

“Music is all about emotion, something inherent to the human condition – to excite you, to relax you. Music is evidence of civilisation.”

Why is a space like this needed in Liverpool?

“If Liverpool and the UK don’t nurture music then others will, and we will miss out! I believe that if the University doesn’t build this new venue in Liverpool, then nobody will.”

Why do you think this project is important?

“People should give to this project because it is a worthwhile thing, and if they can support it then they should!”

You can find out more about this project, or make a donation to support our fundraising efforts.
