In 1995 Mike Spiteri participated for Malta with the song KEEP ME IN MIND. Well, he has escaped the mind of Roy van der Merwe, the owner of ESCCovers until today when Ian Fowell, the chief editor of the website, who is currently in Malta sent a picture of Mike making a guest appearance at the festival. Mike was the very first Maltese singer Roy met in person having gotten accreditation for the first time in 1995. The 1995 entry was recorded in Florence, Italy.
