The grey day after
22:19 (Felix) I am one of the last people left in Malmö, with the others from our team at esc-chat.com having already safely landed in their home countries. What's left to say? In my opinion, Denmark is a very well deserved winner. It's that one song that north and...

It’s Eurovision Day!
14:18 (Felix) Happy Eurovision! The most important day in the year has arrived, and for many of us it begins quite late, as last night's party at the Euro Fan Café ended quite late as well. We have spent 2 great weeks in Malmö that are now slowly coming to an end, so...

Fan Café shines as second semi approaches
Martin (13:40) The Euro Fan Café had already established itself as a fixed part of the Eurovision 2013 party scene, but it's really starting to come into its own now that non-accredited fans are flooding into Malmö for the shows themselves. Every friendship group...

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...

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...
