Fans of this year's UK entry to the Eurovision Song Contest can now pre-order the single Teenage life by Daz Sampson via the singer's official website. Both the official site and Daz's own MySpaces.com site have seen a flurry of excited activity recently, as the contest approaches.

The CD hits the shops officially on 8th May in the UK, and 5th May in the Republic of Ireland, although visitors can already watch the video on the official website dazsampson.com. The track also features on the recent CD compilation It's pop time.

Teenage life is already holding its own, reaching No. 2 on music channel The box. You can support Daz by voting for it on The box, either by calling 09056 52 52 52 from the UK, and entering selection number 155, or texting BOX 155 to 86600. He will be performing the song on the legendary Top of the pops on BBC TV, Sunday 7th May, the eve of the single's UK release. Fans keen to catch him live before the event can join revellers at London's G-A-Y club at the London Astoria Theatre on Saturday 6th May. Bucks Fizz of UK 1981 fame will be joining him.

Daz regularly updates his own MySpace.com area, and this is the place to find details of his forthcoming gigs and TV appearances during the lead-up to the contest in Athens. Visit www.myspace.com/dazsampson for more details and the latest photos!
