Richard West-Soley

Richard’s ESC history began way back in 1992, when he discovered the contest could fuel his passion for music and languages. Since then, it’s been there at every corner for him in some way or another. He joined the esctoday.com team back in 2006, and quickly developed a love for writing about the contest. In his other life, he heads the development team at the learning resources company Linguascope, and writes about all aspects of language learning on the site Polyglossic.com.
