Wednesday: Semi 1 hangover as a new day begins
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...

Final week starts in sunny Malmö
10:59 (Felix) Good morning from sunny Malmö! Whereas last week was quite exhausting, with a lot of stuff to work on, the final week has arrived - and we all know that it's the more relaxed one during the day, and the more party-loaded one in the nights! Speaking of...

Live Rehearsals – Day 7!
Good morning everybody! It's the last day of the first week of rehearsals for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, and having seen all 33 of the semi-finalists put through their paces over the last six days, it's finally time for the "big 5" - Spain, France, Germany, the...
Sunday: Party hangovers and “big five” rehearsals
Martin (9:40) Last night, EuroClub played host to the Belarusian party, and I think it's fair to say that there are a few sore and regretful heads around the press centre this morning. It was in many ways the first "real" party of the ESC fortnight, with all due...

Hello! We're back in the Press Centre for the second day ready for the second rehearsals of the second semi-final. Myself (Danny) and Martin will be taking turns during the day to give our esteemed opinions on the performances with me taking the first part, while...
Middle weekend in Malmö gets underway
Martin (11:10) Morning all! It's the middle weekend of the Eurovision fortnight, and as is traditional, things are starting to hot up all over the city. More and more fans - especially those who are "just" coming for the shows, rather than sitting in a daylight-free...

Collective Headache Day
FelixK (10:28) It's a holi-holiday, and we all have a headache. Last night's party at Euroclub was quite... different. Judged by friends' comments about their own state of wellbeing (or not), it might have been a buzzing, heavy party, but was it? Euroclub 2013 is...
Live Rehearsals – Day 4!
There are some sore heads around the press area on our fourth and final day here in the EuroClub cinema, with the party having gone on rather late last night. It's quite strange coming to "work" in a place where one was dancing to "Bombo" just a few hours previously....

Rain can’t ruin the Malmö mood on the third day
Martin (9.55) Not quite a bright and early start to the third day in Sweden's third city - managed to leave my accreditation in the apartment, and the sunshine has turned to rain with threatening grey clouds hovering over the Central Station and EuroClub. Things...
