On the 12 May, night of the Eurovision Song Contest final, a great big party will be organised for the fans at the Compleat Angler, Prince of Wales Road in Norwich – just across the river bridge from the Railway Station. All the profits from the party will go to the Railway Children charity fund.

The night will have many surprises in store for the lucky Eurovision enthusiasts that will choose to join. The final will be shown on two plasma TVs, a Eurovision Classics Karaoke contest will be organised (sneak preview of the songs to be performed at the end of the article, so that you go well-prepared)and a Eurovision disco will warm up the atmosphere and continue after the winner has been announced. Anyone wishing to join dressed as their Eurovision entry of choice is more than welcome.

Admission is £7 and tickets can be purchased in person : Contact Nicola Garwood or David Mann at 'one' railway, Travel Centre, Norwich Station, by phone : please call 01953 602990. And by email at [email protected] (Paypal account required). More information can be found here.

Railway Children supports street children living alone and at risk on the streets. We help children all over the world, many of whom live in and around railway stations (hence their name). Last year they helped over 24,000 street children around the world. The focus of their work is stopping the abuse of children living on the streets and we now work with over 40 partner organisations, with 117 projects worldwide across Africa, Asia, South America and Europe.

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.
