This year, as we have in recent years, we have had a slightly different start to the Eurovision Song Contest. We haven’t got access to the first week of rehearsals. We have hopefully adapted to this to bring you the coverage you have all grown to expect.

Days 10 & 11 was all about Semi Final 1. The lunchtime of Monday also saw a visit to the German & Austrian Embassy party, where we caught up with Latvia – the interview is on our YOUTUBE channel, as well as coverage of the party.

Days 12 & 13 (today) are all about Semi Final 2. As well as attending a Eurovision quiz organised by our friends at OGAE Ireland & OGAE Australia yesterday, John & I attended a joint Stag/Hen do for two of our friends from 12 Points From America earlier today.

Let us know what you think about the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest – either in the comments below or on our FACEBOOK, BLUESKY, TWITTER, YOUTUBE, INSTAGRAM and TIKTOK pages.
