We're Belfast-bound


Eurovision Express is packing its bags and getting ready to jet off to Belfast, the host city of something called CONSONG 2009.

Consong used to be part of an annual convention run by the now defunct UK fanclub, Eurovision Network. At its peak around 150 fans gathered to vote on songs that hadn't made it through their national selection.

Now that Eurovision Network is no more, it's a more 'select' affair, so of course Eurovision Express had to be on the guest list!

This is our 4th Consong. In 2006 Norway won with Absolutely Fabulous by Queentastic. In 2007 Mans Zermerlow pipped the UK's Cyndi to the post with Cara Mia, and last year La Casa Azul triumphed for Spain with La Revolución Sexual.

The fun thing is we don't know who's in the running this year, but we reckon Denmark's Hera Björk is going to run away with it with the marvellous Someday. We're big fans of Hera, having enjoyed many a night on the Moscow Euroclub dance floor with her in May when she was one of Johanna's excellent backing singers! Enjoy the song again below.
