In just three weeks, the biggest ever Eurovision Song Contest party will take place in London. The event, The UK Eurovision Preview Party, will happen at the Scala nightclub in on Friday 25th April. Already confirmed to attend are Ukraine's Ani Lorak and Euroband from Iceland. Paul Oscar, who represented Iceland at the competition in 1997, will be performing live and Paddy O'Connell, the UK's semi final commentator on BBC three will be hosting the event.
The event aims to put the United Kingdom back on the map for Eurovision promotion tours and attract British media to cover the competition and visiting artists. A special Green Room will be created for media to meet the artists that perform at the event, conduct interviews and raise the profile of the Eurovision Song Contest in the United Kingdom. Artists will also be meeting the fans in attendance.
This is the single biggest Eurovision Song Contest event that has taken place in the country in many years, and has been organised at very short notice by an incredible team of Eurovision fans and people working for good will. The venue is one of the prime night clubs in London, and can host up to 1500 people.
A whole website for the event has been created and will be regularly updated with information about the artists that come to the event. A media launch and campaign to attract British and international press, radio and television is also in place. You can visit the website now at www.ukeurovision.com
