all with his stoic Ukrainian parents there

I'm hoping they are finding middle ground to get countries back to delete one without it impacted the bigger picture of the show and contest too badly

(yes I live in a hovel of delusion)

Yes! I know a few of the acts and it seems a very well versed and varied final. Fingers crossed for next year but yes was so close!!!!

Ots usually a fortnight before the contest at the very latest or it used to be but might be even sooner now

And sadly, the moment the light went red and thus we were out of the competition :((

(yes they hit a button and if the light turned white you were in and red you were out)

But as I say, top 15 out of 83 entries? I will take that any day of the week!

The final eight are a strong diverse mix and I have the pleasure of knowing a few beforehand, and as I said, people like Elsie Bay and Karin liked my song enough to consider it for the final which is mad to think about!

Thank you to everyone who wished us good luck and were supporting us!

Love the shout out and love for Darline!
