MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS – EUROVISION 2005

Morten Thomassen from Norway decided to write about some of his memories of Eurovision and the Norwegian Eurovision selection. ESC Covers again will publish it after google translating it from Norwegian to English. Continue reading MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS – EUROVISION 2005

MELODI GRAND PRIX 2017 ENTRIES

  • AmmunitionWrecking crew (Åge Sten Nilsen, Erik Mårtensson)
  • UlrikkePlaces (Ulrikke Brandstorp, Tony Alexander Skjevik)

  • Rune Rudberg BandRun run away (Peter Danielson, Åsa, Mars Larsson)
  • In FusionNothing ever knocked us over (Gustav Euren, Danne Attlerud, Niklas Arn, Ulrik Eurén, Cissi Kallin)

There are 10 entries and most are unknown names, which is good as Eurovision is there to help find new stars of the future.

There are, however, two “golden oldies”. Age Sten Nilsen was with WIG WAM in Kyiv 2005 (and it would be interesting if he returns with his new band Ammunition to the same city several years later.

The other one is Rune Rudberg who had taken part in the Norwegian selection as far back as the 80’s. I still love his “Vinger over Europa” and that should have been the Norwegian entry at that time. Whether “Run run away” will reach the same heights, is to be seen.

ESC Covers is supporting In Fusion due to the song being composed by composers we like and support. It will also be special for Danne Attlerud to return to Eurovision for Norway after he did it way back in 2004
