Sweden will be represented at the UK Eurovision Preview Party, not by Charlotte Perrelli, but by Kopparberg Swedish Cider! They have been announced as the event sponsor for the biggest promotional night of the year. The company have agreed to support the event in order for organisers to raise funds needed to help organise the event.
The scale of the event at London's La Scala on April 25th has grown rapidly since the event was announced. More artists will be announced this week and local media are all helping ensure that the event is a success. Capital Radio have helped promote the event live on air and with a competiton on their website, and event organisers are keen to put on a big show for what now looksset to bea sell out 1100 capacity crowd.
Kopparberg has already built an association with the London Schlager Parties. They are supporting the UK Eurovision Preview Party as well as providing some goodies for partygoers on the night. Their drinks range will be on sale at the venue for the first time at the party.
Luke Wade, Kopparberg’s London Business Development Manager said "Kopparberg is delighted to sponsor the Party which builds upon our successful involvement with Schlager Parties.
