It has become a tradition that the Friday evening MGP rehearsal takes place and then an excursion is made from the Oslo Spektrum to the centre of the Norwegian capital, by those performing in the Final of Norway’s selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.

In the Hard Rock Café last night Melodi Grand Prix artists came to meet the local fans and have photographs taken with them.

esctoday.com was lucky to be there too and catch some brief interviews with a few of them. Here is a montage of these with Knut, Mo, Dina, Brynjar from El Cuero and Carl Espen.

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.
