Ukrainian electro-folklore incoming...

Something a bit different now from Ukraine, with Go_A singing Shum. They describe this as ‘electro folklore’ - one of the lyrics translates as 'an owl is blowing into the water'.

Kateryna’s is wearing a crown and a furry green jacket, and her dancers have stolen all the ring lights from the press centre.

Incidentally, you may want to pace yourselves if you’re dancing, because this goes OFF at the end.

Jendrik is currently raving in front of the big screen in the Delegation Bubble. What's not to love about Eurovision?
