Is this Eurovision's biggest fan?
Eurovision fans run dedicated but they may not come as diehard as Alasdair Rendall, who has dedicated his life to the annual song contest ever since he was a child.
Most of us might just gather around the TV for the live shows, but Alasdair, who’s in his 30s, goes above and beyond. My mother paid for my membership as a present. She was a fan, my grandad was a fan. It’s passed down the family – I watched it in 1989 and was immediately hooked. There’s also parties in Berlin, the annual cruise in Finland, the preview parties, loads of parties. I run the UK’s largest Eurovision club night, Eurofest, which takes place four times a year, as well as the annual fan convention in October. It’s a year-round event.
It’s impossible to describe the atmosphere when you’re sitting in the arena and the Eurovision theme starts and you’re there in the heart of things.
