The representatives from Malta and Austria had a chance to meet backstage yesterday after the second rehearsal of the second semi final participants.

Firelight, the group representing Malta, and Conchita Wurst, representing Austria, both in the second semi-final this Thursday 8 May, met with each other on the backstage during their rehearsals. Conchita said that she could feel the sibling energy between the band members on stage. Firelight also praised the positive message Conchita is spreading, of being proud of who you are.

Conchita gave a knitted beard to the members of Firelight while the band returned the gesture with a Maltese promo pack.

I'm Luke Borg and I'm from Malta. I'm currently studying media and I'm a big Eurovision fan! My first Eurovision memory is when I was 8 and asked my dad why we have to sing in the semi-final to be able to sing on Saturday...it was in 2004!
