Yeah,that surprised me too.Liverpool was only 18th as well behind Leicester,Brighton and Swindon.The survey doesn't comment on the chart successes of the cities just the number of active musicians that come from them.If the survey was based on historical chart success I would have thought that Birmingham,Liverpool and Manchester could well have been the top 3 cities.
