Uk Preview party 2010

Well the time of year has rolled around again when a few brave (foolhardy?) acts fought the volcanic ash (actually only 2 of the 4 did this) and arrive in the UK to give a preview performance to the gathered discerning audience of drunk fans.

On the bill this year were.......................

United Kingdom.

Romania

Ireland

and Cyprus.

The night kicked of with half a bottle of vodka, as is now the tradition. This was swiftly followed by a mad dash to the West End of London cos I was late, a quick scramble to find the venue and then a swift vodka ta the bar.

The place was rammed.....much more so than last year and that awful under filled venue cos of the clash with the Netherlands preview on the same night. That almost put us of from going this year, and when we heard that only 4-5 acts were confirmed it was a tough decision to make.......

However the one and only Naimh Kavanagh was going to be there, Volcanic ash or no volcanic ash so we were sold.

The night started fairly late, the first on stage was Cyrus at around 11ish, nice guys can hold a tune and we were impressed. Would love to see this qualify this year. They sang 2 or 3 songs and seemed to have a ball;)))

Romania up next. Being beset by microphone problems is awful at the best of times......but when it's in front of a baying crowd of ESC fans who will pick up on every fault and blow it up into a crises of Eyjafjallajokull proportions you realise that these guys never stood a chance. Sorry no video clip.....the sound was just too dreadful to be honest and would not be fair on the performers.

Still our dark horse this year.....c'mon if Balkan Girls can qualify then this could actually win:)))) And our bank balance would also be very happy:)

Third up was the delightful young Josh, this years UK (emphasis on the hope here) hopeful. Kudos to the guy he can sing his little heart out, nice stage presence and we can't help but wonder what might have been should the Waterman freak have given him a good song to sing. 

But he didn't 

and we will come nearly last

and it is so not gonna be Josh's fault. 

And finally the Goddess herself Niamh Kavanagh. She sang three songs, In your Eyes being one of them, can't remember the other one and It's for you. Without doubt the best performer of the night, but to be honest she had a very "home" crowd willing her on. 

And we leave you with a brief clip......the sound is not great but the venue was not really geared up for acoustics:((( But you get the idea:)))
