For anyone attending MYMU

by Richard West-Soley 79 views

Fans in the UK who are attending Making your mind up on Saturday will be able to catch a second screening of the third Swedish Melodifestivalen semifinal after the event. Our friends at London's number one Swedish pub, The Harcourt Arms, have kindly agreed to record the show and offer a full re-run for fans attending MYMU due to a time clash between the two competitions.

The third semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2006 will be screened live on Saturday 4th March at the Harcourt Arms, Marylebone on schedule at 19:00, at which time, MYMU will be on air. There will now be a second screening of the Karlskrona semifinal at 21:30. This is specifically to allow fans attending the British selection show to move straight from the BBC venue to the Swedish event without missing a single song. It's also a great opportunity for fans travelling to London from across the country to double up on their Eurovision fun for the night.

There will be no charge for entry for esctoday.com readers, but those planning on attending the second showing of the Melodifestivalen semifinal are asked to email Barry Viniker at esctoday.com as soon as possible to confirmation of attendance and for further information. There will be no less than five esctoday.com editors on hand to meet our readers, and a well-stocked bar and good company are on offer for what promises to be an evening of Eurovision Song Contest fun!
