Here is the second compilation CD available for fans in Vienna. This is EUROVISION WE SING YOUR SONGS VOL 10, which contains covers of older Eurovision songs as well as a few bonus tracks, including a cover of a song originally sung by Conchita Wurst. Here is the index:
Besides the 6 compilation CDs to celebrate the fact that Eurovision is 60 years old (the covers of these 6 will be posted soon — Gerry is still finishing his designs), we have a few copies left of the compilation CDs we had in 2014 in Copenhagen. These will be made available in Vienna. The first up is the compilation – EUROVISION WE SING YOUR SONGS VOL 9 – this CD contains Euro covers of 2013 songs and just 2 copies are still available.

Any OGAE member, not necessarily being a board member of his national club, can send the application to any of the positions mentioned above.

Applications and discussion suggestions should be sent the applicant directly to OGAE International Secretary Alexandros Liapis at alexandrosesc@yahoo.com
In 2013 when Eurovision was in Malmö, we had this compilation available. There has been demand for it again since Måns Zelmerlöw is coming to Eurovision for Sweden and his CARA MIA cover is on this. So I have agreed to make a few more copies available of this compilation in Vienna in the Euro Fan Café.

John Karayiannis will represent Cyprus at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest with One Thing I Should Have Done. Now a remix has been released. It is the Euroclub mix by Pepperoni Mohawx,
You can see the video for the remix below which is filmed in London.

It is interesting to compare the original versions of songs from DSCHINGHIS KHAN with the new covers by ROCKING SON OF DSCHINGHIS KHAN
The Peppermints represented San Marino at the 2014 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with their song Breaking My Heart. The girls, consisting of Anita Simoncini, Rafaella Perniola, Greta Doveri, Arianna Ulivi and Sara Dall’Olio, have just released a second official video for Breaking My Heart.
The video on this occasion is to represent and promote Pisa, Ponte D’Era and Piaggio at EXPO 2015 in Milan. The video will of course show the Peppermints huge talent and unity as a group.
Anita will also take part in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, as she will soon reach the age of 16 years old. She will sing Chain Of Lights with Michele Perniola, representing San Marino in Vienna in May.
You can see the second video for Breaking My Heart below.
Richard has been hard at work to give the website a new look on the home page, by grouping things together and re-arranging the page headings in more priority order.
We will also give the whole home page a new look – but that will happen after Vienna and we will also ask input from our visitors.
When the page was originally created, it was done just to have something to start with and now that we are up and running and with a lot of info on the website, we can start with a new look and experiment a little. I think we are the fastest growing website of the OGAE clubs and we could not have achieved this without the help of a lot of dedicated people. A big thank you for that.
