Dustin's Fan Club arrives in Ireland!


So the rumours are true, Ireland has a turkey in the national final. How marvellous. Irish celebrity puppet - Dustin the Turkey - has an entry called Irlande Douze Points which apparently makes a reference to UK commentator Terry Wogan's (alleged) wig! It's got winner written all over it.

Ireland has been criticised by many fans each year for sending typical ethnic/ballad-type songs. Well, they have certainly woken up and smelt the coffee this year. It's a case of - if you can't beat 'em, join 'em - and we think it's a brilliant idea to enter a puppet!

Well done RTE, and we hope Dustin can win the Irish national final on 23rd feb and bring Ireland back up to the top of the scoreboard in Eurovision!

Here's Dustin meeting Westlife....

And there's been some real turkeys over the years at ESC.

We fully expect there to be a key change in Dustin's song....
