Our Eurovision song!

Did not like the English entry. Ed Sheeran volunteered I think. Not a fan but he could have done better. Bill Bailey also volunteered. I reckon he could win, given the chance.

Honeysuckleberries have you seen this film,
Eurovision The Story of Fire Saga
It’s very funny

I like Serbias entry. She’s singing about Meghan Markles hair ?

Yes I've heard our song and love it.
I enjoy the whole mad noisy event and will be glued to the TV on Saturday. I'd like us to win but it's highly unlikely. Even more I'd like Ukraine to win and hopefully they will.

Bakewell tarts, crumpets...

Wasn’t it Katie Boyle who was described as ‘the thinking man’s crumpet’ ? !

No. That was Joan Bakewell.

Katie Boyle
Born: Caterina Irene Elena Maria Imperiali dei Principi di Francavilla

She was multilingual and really was very classy!

I liked Terry Wogan's style of commentating on the Eurovision (on the occasions we did watch bits of it ?)

I thought that was Joanna Lumley?
A pack of crumpets, possibly?

Did you spot star quality in Cliff?
That's a damn good memory to have...

My best friend at school, mother was someone at the BBC and she got us tickets for the Eurovision at the Albert Hall in 1968. Cliff Richard sang Congratulations, but disappointedly came second.

I think this years entry was written by the brilliant Amy Wadge ,she's Welsh and a fab singer/songwriter who we frst saw supporting Eric Bibb in Edinburgh 20 0dd years ago She 's done the music for several TV series too.A talented lady ,I wish her and her singer luck

When I was at school I was seriously impressed listening to Katie Boyle converse in different languages with the judges!

Actually I just Googled her name. She died in 2018 aged 91y.
She was born in a royal palace in Florence, Tuscany, Italy, which had once belonged to the Italian royal family, the daughter of an Italian marquis (the Marchese Demetrio Imperiali di Francavilla), and his English wife, Dorothy Kate Ramsden. She came to the United Kingdom in 1946.

I thought you might like this - I think I might need one too.

They seem to have Jamaraqui in their group...

I (obviously) hope Ukraine win - but I think their entry is pretty awful!

Originally it was a lady called Alina Pash who won the Ukrainian contest to represent Ukraine on Eurovision. But she was removed because she had visited Crimea. It’s a shame because her song and performance were nice.

^Not hugely keen on Ukraine's song this year but not to worry. They had a really good entry in 2004. Wild Dances^.

The judging is political anyway ?

You're quite right!

Maybe Ukraine will give us some points this year?

Anyone remember this little lot?

Looking forward to the light relief.
We listened to it on the car radio on a long journey a few years ago, so scoring purely on sound - it was a very different experience to the TV.

Oh yes, me too, ShropshireMiss

I remember Israel having a couple of really good entries in the 70s.

A Ba Ni Bi and Hallelujah.

I liked Netta Barziai the 2018 winner for Israel.
