The ESC Covers website has since June 2018 introduce a range of facebooks. They are part of the EUROVISION COVERAGE facebook with other websites but Roy van der Merwe felt there was a need for facebooks that focus on certain aspects of MUSIC and EUROVISION. There are 8 such facebooks and we will discuss all 8 over the next week.

The first one is called EUROVISION COVERS – today the 1000th cover was loaded onto this facebook. The idea is to try and put all covers of Eurovision songs under one roof. It is quite a milestone to have 1000 covers. There is at least once for every year and a few have over 40 covers.
