In all that, don’t forget there are a number of high profile parties in the next week, including the Eurovision in Concert party in Amsterdam and the London Eurovision Party in, err, London.

  1. Let’s be honest – I just bought a new microphone and a bunch of other tech stuff, Ewan is trying to decide which kilt to bring. But not to let the girly side down, my outfits for Dusseldorf were picked almost 2 months ago and are ready for the photoshoot I’m doing this weekend.

  2. Ewan Spence says:

    I’ve only got the one kilt, choice made. And if you’re really being honest, Sharleen, the outfits are chosen, it’s the shoes you’re having issue with.

  3. Damn. Caught out.

    I thought you might want to know that “Alex Sparrow” is a literal translation of the Russian “Алексей Воробьёв” (Alexei Vorobyov).

    Michael, yep, spotted that, just a pity wordpress strips the tag from headlines 🙂
