Eurovision Dance Tickets Available Now!


Looks like tickets to the Eurovision Dance Contest can be bought now for the princely sum of £10 or £15. Click here to visit the SECC site to secure your seats.

Eurovision Express were guests at the inaugral competition in London last year, but, alas, won't be able to make it to Scotland this time round.

Ven a Bailar Conmigo!...Let's Dance!


The Eurovision Dance Contest is now only weeks away and the official website is already up and running.

This year's contest comes from the wonderful city of Glasgow (above).

You can access the EDC website here.

Sakis wants to "Shake It" one more time!


According to Greek TV and our friends at www.oikotimes.com we have our first 2009 ESC artist....Sakis Rouvas!

Sakis, former ESC presenter and one of Greece's biggest stars, will represent his home country in Moscow next year with a song written by Dimitris Kontopoulos.

Greece came so close to victory this year with Kalomira, they are now bringing out the big guns to get Eurovision back to Athens or maybe Thessaloniki in 2010.

Go Greece!

Let's hear it for the boys...and girls!


As Belgrade becomes a distant memory in Eurovision circles, we move on to the next Eurovision contest in the calendar - Junior Eurovision 2008. This year it's from sunny Cyprus.

Some countries have pulled out of the contest, whilst others have joined, leaving the JESC looking mostly like an eastern and central european gig! There are no members of the Big 4 taking part this year, as Spain (one of the most popular JESC countries) has decided not to return after last year's absence.

We were very impressed (financially too) with the little chappie from Belarus who won the contest last year! We also picked the winners (Tomalchev sisters) from Russia in 2006, so we look forward to making it a hat trick this year.

You can visit the JESC website here. The conest takes place on 22nd November.

ABBA-Cadabra! They're Back!


What a marvellous moment...all four members of Super-Eurovision group ABBA appeared together in public for the first time in years. Bjorn, Benny, Agnetha and Frida reformed for one night only to attend the movie premiere of Mamma Mia in Stockholm.


Stars of the movie including Meryl Streep and Christine Baranski were also there to see the fab four. We're lookng forward to seeing the movie very very soon!

Perhaps ABBA will make more appearances together in the future...any chance of a new album guys? Well, we can hope!!!
