Gipsy.cz, the Romano rap band who will represent Czech Republic in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, will be presenting the Czech public with two songs one of which will be selected via sms voting to go to Moscow.

On 16th February, during a press conference at the Palac Hybernia, Cipsy.cz will present the two songs they have chosen for the country's preselection to the Czech public. A few days later, a little after midnight of Saturday 28th February during the TV show Noc s Andelem, the public will start voting for their favourite one via sms. The voting will close on 14th March and the official presentation of the winning song will take place on the Andel Music Awards show on 21st March . The band promise they have a major surprise in store for the song presentation on the 16th February.

Gipsy.cz will be appearing as guest stars in the Slovakian final on 8th March. As their entry will not have been decided yet it is quite possible that they will perform both candidate songs.

Special thanks to Miloš Hozda for the report.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
