Vicky Leandros made a special appearance recently to officially open the German Christmas Market in Birmingham City Centre. She took to the stage (well, the tiny bandstand actually) to treat the tens (!!) of onlookers to some German Christmas songs. It must have been a bit different to the sold out Athens arena two days previously.
What greeted Vicky was a load of Brummies tucking into Red Sausage and knocking back Gluhwein and wondering who this bird on the bandstand was! Poor Vicky, they were more interested in the local radio DJ's who introduced her! She couldn't get off the stage quick enough. After a less than receptive applause and several German songs, she trolled off stage and no doubt was whisked off to Birmingham International Airport toute suite!
Wait until her agent gets a phone call when she returns to Germany. Oh well. at least we got a glimpse of a true Eurovision Legend!

I turned up expecting Vikki a la LOVE IS THE DANGER OF MEETING A STRANGER....but all I got was Little Drummer Boy - auf Deutsch bitte!!!! Heh ho - maybe Vikki can make it next year.
Well, I braved the cold for over 30minutes and not a sign of Apres Toi or L'amour est bleu. There was only so much mulled wine I could take so after Little Drummer Boy in german, I was off to the sale at H&M in the Bullring. Got a lovely pashmina for £9.99.
Vicky had a right face on her when she left. Maybe her sausage had gone cold backstage...
