Lots to catch up on, as the National Final season moves into ‘everyone has something new to watch on Saturday night’, the final countries are revealing their performers, and those who have qualified for the live shows are slowly being eliminated. So lets go over where Eurovision Song Contest 2015 stands this evening in the latest Insight podcast.

ESC Insight’s Ben Robertson gives us the 60th edition of the ESC Insight Newsletter with all the top news and tunes before the 60th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, with a special focus on Melodifestivalen’s subtle changes to the rules for this year’s competition.

The heroes and heroines of The Eurovision Song Contest take the stage every year. While it’s rare for the lead singers to return, look to the wings and you’ll see the backing singers. Once they’ve had a taste of the experience, they’re ready to step up and fly the flag for their country once more. Samantha Ross investigates the bridesmaids heading for the musical altar.

The ESC Insight newsletter is updated with the latest updates on all things Eurovision and the thoughts of editor Ben Robertson.

Well, it was a rather rambuctious festive period, so slightly later than planned, we’ve brought together the thoughts of the ESC Insight team, and some of our contributors from the world of the Song Contest to talk about the musical moments of the last year.
