Radio 2's getting Butterflies!

Here at Eurovision Express we were big fans of Butterflies, the song that came 2nd in the 2009 Norwegian MGP.  Sung by Tone Damli Aaberge, it, of course, lost out to the eventual Eurovision winner, Fairytale.

But the good news is that it's getting a UK release, and is BBC Radio 2's record of the week!

Let's enjoy the MGP performance again, and hope Tone goes big in Britain!

UK fans gather for Eurobash 2010 in Manchester!

Eurobash 2010, the annual gathering of the British Eurovision fanclub, OGAE UK, takes place next Saturday (16 October).  After 4 successful years in Birmingham, the sold-out extravaganza moves to Manchester!

Over 100 fans will come together to celebrate all things Eurovision - with a quiz, a special 'Firsts' themed Contest, and the eagerly anticipated Stars In Their Eurovision Eyes, where attendees become their Eurovision heroes - for one night only.  This year 11 acts will compete, all hoping to follow in the footsteps of last year's winners, who gave a knock-out performance of Laka's song from 2008.

Eurobash 2010 will also welcome 4 special guests: Kit Rolfe (better known to Eurofans as Belle from Belle and The Devotions, who sang Love Games for the UK in 1984), Hera Bjork (Iceland 2010), Sarah Cawood (UK semi-final commentator) and Craig Lees (who entered the 2005 UK heats of the Junior Eurovision).

Eurobash 2010 promises to be another fun-packed day!
