Eurovision: The Long Playing Records on Boom Bang a Blog
If you haven’t worked it out yet, I like Eurovision. So when Jamie McLoughlin asked if I would like to do some guest posts over on Boom Bang A Blog I was more than happy to say yes – and would you mind getting back to me after the Edinburgh Fringe is over.
So it’s taken a little bit longer than we expected, but my series of posts about the albums and music of performers at Eurovision will be featured on the site over the next few weeks. First up though is a little interview with me:
…I know it’s an old question, but we have to ask – favourite ever Eurovision song – and why?
The second I saw this question I knew I might be in trouble, because I don’t really have a favourite as such. A lot depends on my mood and there’s rarely a single song that fits everything. The usual suspects, e.g. Love Shine a Light and Molitva, are in there, but I’ve a soft spot for tracks like Olivia Lewis’ Vertigo, Martin Sternmarck’s Las Vegas and Tal Sondak’s Ein Devar.
But then, hold on… there is one Eurovision tune that gets the heart going, that can lift my mood, that stirs passion and devotion. Marc Antoine’s Prelude to Te Deum… or the Eurovision Theme to everyone else. Sitting at home and hearing that familiar arrangement as the Contest starts is a rush every fan knows – but here’s a little secret. See when it plays in the venue? The place goes absolutely craaaaaazy!!!
And you might like to see just how many Eurovision songs and groups I sneaked into the answers…
