DJ Alan T (Sydney) rocking Stockholm with 2016 Eurovision gigs
DJ Alan T (Sydney) from Australia is deejaying some special Eurovision gigs here in Stockholm this week. He performed at the Opening Party at the Euroclub for artists, journalists, fans and invited guests. He also performed at the Eurocafe for fans.
Alan performed special gigs at the Australian Embassy and also at the Australian Fan Party for Dami Im. He also specialises in exclusive remixes of Eurovision, ABBA, Australian acts and many other surprises. He has gigged at the Euro Village in Stockholm too. He played a remix of Sound Of Silence (the 2016 Australian Eurovision song) by Dami at the Euroclub that went down a storm. Everyone dancing and going crazy.
DJ Alan performed to thousands at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.
If you are in Stockholm try and catch Alan at one of his shows. He will be deejaying at the Euroclub again on the evening of Friday 13 May.

Australia select Dami Im for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest
Australia will be represented by Dami Im at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden. The announcement was made at the Sydney Opera House at the Conchita: From Vienna with Love show by Conchita Wurst (ESC Austria 2014 winner) and last year’s Australian Eurovision entrant, Guy Sebastian.
Dami was born in South Korea and moved to Australia when she was young child. In 2013 she won the Australian X Factor competition.
The song for Dami will be announced in the next couple of weeks by the broadcaster SBS.

SEMI FINAL DRAW
Australia back again for the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest
After what was supposed to be ‘one-off’ appearance to celebrate the 60th Eurovision Song Contest, Australia are back again for 2016. The local broadcaster, SBS, will once again contribute a song for the contest. The only difference on this occasion is that Australia will have to perform in the semi-finals.
The Executive Supervisor of the EBU, Jon Ola Sand, stated “The feedback we got from viewers, fans, press and the broadcasters after Australia’s participation in Vienna was overwhelmingly positive. We strongly believe the Eurovision Song Contest has the potential to evolve organically into a truly global event. Australia’s continued participation is an exciting step in that direction. It remains to be seen what such an event may look like in the long run.”
So, does Mr Sand’s words mean the door may be open in the future to other countries outside of Europe. Is it possible we could see South Africa or China or Canada or New Zealand or maybe South Korea (K-Pop could go really well at Eurovision)….the list can go on. Who would you like to see? Do you think it is a good idea?
Australia will also participate at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest on 21 November. Bella Paige will fly the Australian flag with her song My Girls.

RATING OF THE PRESS P R FOR EACH COUNTRY – PART 5
AUSTRALIA
Together with Israel probably the worst P R team for me to deal with. I know it is their first actual entry but you would think they would want to promote their entry. Yes, I think Australian fans probably will disagree, they got t-shirts and stuff, but for press people from other countries, this was one of the worst to deal with.
0 out of 10
AUSTRIA
Austria, like Switzerland and Netherlands always rank high and this year no exception. The promo CD was put in all pigeonholes almost from day one.
10 out of 10
FRANCE
It is no secret that France is at the bottom of my list of European countries and always difficult to deal with given the language. But this year, the P R team of France was just out of this world. I want to give it 12 out of 10, but of course that is not possible. Never before the French P R was even in the top 10, let alone being in number 1 position. Such a pity this song did not score better on the final night.
10 out of 10
GERMANY
Some years their P R are good, some years bad. This year all we got was a little booklet on Ann Sophie, and to get the CD single, you had to buy it from a shop.
2 out of 10
ITALY
Since their return in 2011 Italy has been a problem for me. And this year was no exception. Most fans had to go out and buy the CD from a shop.
0 out of 10
SPAIN
Like last year, Spain has improved so much in their P R and now rank among the top countries.
9.5 out of 10
UNITED KINGDOM
They have a new head of press and he is a great improvement and we were allowed 5 minutes personal time with the duo to hand the gift bags and I think we were 8 or so of our team there. They did not give promo items but as the single is commercially released, we were able to buy it.
