We will open the competition for the JAMALA t-shirt and JAMALA bag also to people other than GROOT FM radio listenaars. There is one t-shirt and one bag up for grabs.
Interested Euro fan outside of the Groot FM catchment area must do the following.
Send you name and e-mail address to info@esccovers.com
Answer two simple questions
1 – Is Riaan Grobler a Groot FM presenter – yes or no
2 – Is Jamala Ukraine’s second Eurovision winner – yes or no
Unfortunately the t-shirt is a LARGE so you do not have a choice of size.
You will be put into the draw for both prizes, but there will be two winners, one gets the t-shirt and one the bag. The first name drawn has a choice – t-shirt or bag, the second name drawn will have to settle with whatever is left.
Unfortunately if the winners are outside of South Africa, you will have to pay the postal cost – 6 euro for the t-shirt and 5 euro for the bag. We have a sponsor (courier company) should the winners be South African (unfortunately they do not deliver overseas so then we have to post it).

REVIEW OF THE OPENING PARTY
We got this review of the opening party
All of Sunday was taken by a stream of official welcome events. Early Sunday morning featured a flag lifting ceremony with all forty-two flags hosted next to EuroClub. Yes, they had installed forty-three flagpoles and had to take one down last week. Måns and Petra have now also arrived into full view after their Press Conference, sitting down for some interviews as well. With those formalities out the way back down in the evening we had the Red Carpet event before the official Opening Ceremony.
Afterwards we had the Opening Party taking over EuroClub and Fan Cafe. Wow. The DJ from Australia was amazing. People who have met me might have seen me be uber-critical, but never in a EuroClub have I got such goosebumps. With the dance floor full and artists on the balcony, the lovewave that erupted towards them was very special as fans sang along to their hits. Christer Björkman managed to organise some acts to come down and perform on the stage – which was one of the smartest moves ever made with them all being adored.
Stockholm City in their wisdom had a ‘normal’ DJ booked on the main dancefloor after and the exodus to Fan Cafe when he came on was a delight to witness in a ‘told you so’ way
