Welcome to esc-chat.com's live blog from the first dress rehearsal of the second semi-final for ESC 2013! Martin here, taking over from Felix at the keyboard after a mad run from Hyllie station! The show has just begun on the big screens, and the intro this time...
Martin (12:20) The day after a Eurovision semi-final is always an interesting time. Hangovers are nursed, and not only literally - although while we're on the subject, we did have a very late night in the Euro Fan Cafe enjoying the Macedonian/Bulgarian party and the...
