Senhit has recorded Rise Like A Phoenix in her latest project on the way to Eurovision 2021. She has recorded an inventive and unique and slightly bizarre music video with a tribute to Freddie Mercury of Queen.
Rise Like A Phoenix was of course the winning Eurovision song for Austria in 2015 by Conchita Wurst.
Senhit was chosen to represent San Marino at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest with Freaky! until the show was cancelled due to the world health pandemic. She also represented them in 2011 with Stand By. However, she will get the chance again to represent San Marino at the 2021 Eurovision.

The Welsh rugby union football club, Aberavon, made a come back for the special game. Jonah Lomu was a New Zealand All Black rugby great who sadly passed away in 2015. Jonah went to the Aberavon Naval club (who no longer exist) to host a training session later played a game that raised a lot of money for charity. The players wanted to raise money for funds for the Jonah Lomu Legacy.
There was lots of entertainment for the public besides the rugby with singing and dancing and a firework display. It took place at Harlequin Road, Port Talbot SA12 6uP, Wales.
Lily did a wonderful interpretation of the National Anthem.
Lily is a rising star with a strong and powerful voice and she impressed many with her journey on Chwilio am Seren. Her version of the 2014 Eurovision winning song, Rise Like A Phoenix, in the Welsh language was a particular highlight.
