The Men of Copenhagen 2014

Well since last year’s “Men of Malmö” posts (part 1 and part 2) were so successful, I thought why not do it all over again?

Hmm… well it’s a good idea in principle, but where are all the guys? Seriously this is a year quite light on guys – with a few notable exceptions of course. I’ll have to dip into the national finals though!

The Men of Malmö 2013 – Part 2

Oh now how can you say I don’t give you what you want? After all the effort I spend writing posts on this blog, all most of you want to do is look at mucky pictures of singers. And why not? I don’t hold it against you, I might go and do that right now. But first, in honour of the first Men of Malmö post, here’s a second portion. I fear I used most of the best ones on the first post, so look at that too! I’ve got loads of the Baku guys too, if you’re good…

There’s also a 2014 remix – The Men of Copenhagen!

Eurovision 2013: Deleted Scenes

I’ve written plenty about Eurovision this year (check my Malmö 2013 hub for the whole sorry extent of it). So I think maybe that’s enough. Pictures are supposed to say 1,000 words, so here are tens of thousands of words to keep you busy. I’ll do a non-Eurovision write-up about Malmö the city later on. I must think of a way to share my photos better, any ideas?

Click on the thumbnails to see the full pictures. WordPress thoughtfully jumbled up the order once I uploaded them, so have fun working out where they were from. They are from variously:

• Semi-Final 1
• Semi-Final 2 Jury Rehearsal (i.e. the good ones where I was right at the front perving on Farid
• Semi-Final 2
• Grand Final Jury Rehearsal (look out for Russia winning)
• A gig at the Euro Cafe featuring Eddie Razaz, Stockholm Syndrome & Pay-TV (gig review)
• Eurovision events & decorations around Malmö
