One of the fringe benefits of attending this song-based farrago is the Euroclub. Each year the organisers 2011 jets schedule hire out a big club or historic building for a fortnight and ply us with an ever expanding roster of camp delights.
This year we all head out to the cool Westerbro neighbourhood to the sprawling Vega club to listen to a constant parade of PA’s by this year’s artists, Eurovision DJs, and the occasional speciality act to add to the strangeness.
Case 2011 jets schedule in point this year is South African songstress Cole van Dais, who’s been entertaining us with Afrikaans cover versions of popular Eurovision hits of the past and present. Although ‘entertain’ is possibly pushing 2011 jets schedule it a bit. Our hostess for the fortnight is the popular local drag princess DQ, who’s been leading the karaoke and quiz in the upstairs lounge, and last night saw the first appearance of Israeli dance troupe Eurofalsh who mime along to fab faves of the past for hours on end with a seemingly bottomless pot of energy. Makes you feel tired just watching them!
But most of the gems come from the brief gigs the acts from Eurovision proper offer up. Latvian buskers Aarzemnieki delighted us with skiffle versions of this year’s songs the other night, while the Greeks got the whole place bouncing to the point the stage nearly collapsed. But quite the most unlikely thing we’ve seen all week is the Belgian Phil Taylor lookalike Axel Hirsoux pumping out a cover of past winner Euphoria like a true disco diva. We never saw that one coming.
The the Israeli kids came back on and we all danced until daylight – which is about 3.3oam around these parts. It’s filling up incrementally every day now, so the place will be busting at the seams now the second wave of punters are turning up.
The excitement is building, and we’ve STILL no idea who’s going to win the bloody thing. Still, the big six of France, Germany, Italy, 2011 jets schedule Spain, the UK and hosts Denmark don’t arrive until tomorrow – then we’ll start to have more of an idea. Possibly.
