Alumni of Liverpool John Moores University
I’m an alumni of Liverpool John Moores University. And I always thought it was a fairly insignificant university. That may or may not be true. But the list of alumni is pretty impressive. Here are my favourites… plus me, since this is really just an experiment on Google’s Knowledge Graph.
And most of my faves are musicians. Very biased. Sorry.

John Lennon
Who’d have believed it? He was at the art school in the late 50’s. I assume it got swallowed up by another institution that got swallowed by another…. and so on. But I’ll take that, since Google seems to.
John Winston Ono Lennon MBE was an English singer, songwriter, and peace activist who gained worldwide fame as the founder, co-lead vocalist, and rhythm guitarist of the Beatles. His songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in musical history

Julian Cope
Again. Who’d have believed it? More 80’s, I think. So probably at the Polytechnic a few years before me. Not a big fan of his music. Ironically, too 8às for me :)
Julian David Cope is an English musician, author, antiquarian, musicologist, poet and cultural commentator

Nicolas Roope
I’d never heard of him before today. But we are more or less in the same industry so he (like me) gets to be mentioned in the same article as John Lennon and Julian Cope.
Nicolas Roope is a British industrial and digital media designer and entrepreneur. Roope received Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts, Sculpture from Liverpool John Moores University. Roope’s career combines his interest in art, design and technology into various commercial and artistic pursuits.

Claire Foy
No idea who she is. But she comes up all the time in my research. And she was born in the same year I turned up in Liverpool.

Bambos Charalambous
Never heard of this guy. Brilliant name, though. He was probably there at the same time I was. When it was a crappy Poly and not a University. Just shows that it is the person that makes the institution, rather than the other way around. Or some such.
Charalambos “Bambos” Charalambous MP is a British Labour Party politician. He was elected as the Member of Parliament for Enfield Southgate in 2017, and was re-elected at the 2019 general election.
