The UK Eurovision Preview Party has grown from a pipe dream into a massive reality in just a few short days. What began as a throwaway comment turned into a conversation. Phone calls were made, a venue came to the rescue and wheels were set in motion. The event is now steaming down the tracks to success, six artist competing at this year's Euovision Song Contest are already confirmed to attend. It has put London back on the promo tour map as the largest pre-Eurovision Song Contest event of the year.
Because of the short notice in planning and putting together this event, many artists are not available. Andy Abraham, representing the United Kingdom, is currently on a very busy schedule. He is finalising his new album and already has a full calendar. None the less, the United Kingdom's representative has been in close touch with organisers and has been trying to ensure he can attend the event. We can confirm that Andy Abrahams will attend the party, having managed to move the time of a prior engagement on the night of April 25th.
Andy will be coming to meet all the visiting artists to welcome them to the United Kingdom. He will make a special appearance on stage, but will not be able to get the whole band together on the night. For that reason, he will not be able to perform the song on stage as all performances will be live.
