The third heat of the Swedish Eurovision national selection Melodifestivalen 2013 takes place this week.

After two fabulously staged shows this time we are in Skellefteå.

Another 8 acts will compete for the 2 places which go directly to the final on 9 March. Another 2 acts will qualify to the second chance round Andra Chansen. For the remaining 4 it will be all over for this year.

I attended my first Eurovision Song Contest in 1995, and from 1996 presented daily live reports for radio stations from the event. Since then I have been providing material from everywhere the contest has been held. I also enjoy compiling most of the video materials for three UK ESC events each year. In 2010 I first provided material for esctoday.com.
