Missed me? Last year, out of complete boredom and a great need to obsess about rehearsals despite being on the other side of the world, I decided to take advantage of the fact I co-manage this website and ramble my random rehearsal thoughts away. Somehow people cared...

Line-up check 2017: Second half of semi-final 2
As the first rehearsals in Kyiv come ever closer, it’s time for the escgo! line-up check to complete its analysis of the songs of the second semi-final.

Line-up check 2017: First half of semi-final 2
The annual escgo! line-up check for 2017 has reached the second semi-final, to be held in Kyiv on Thursday 11 May.

The escgo! line-up check for 2017 continues as we turn our attention to the remaining songs of the first semi-final.

Then the other two editors each get a 30-word “right of reply”.
