Hi,

This is an introduction article.

I am a new member after being a fan of Eurovision since the Eighties. At that time I was living in Western Queensland 400 kilometres from the coast with very few choices for television channels – just the National broadcaster ABC and the highly entertaining multicultural broadcaster SBS – so it was always an annual highlight when Eurovision time came in the middle of a cold winter and Europe burst into my home. What I enjoyed, was listening to names of foreign countries with different sounds and very different costume designs. It was a way of keeping in touch with the rest of the world. It was a sanity saver for me in those years.

Cheers from Michelle
