2023: the year of balance

December 27, 2023November 16, 2024 Katie

May 22, 2023November 16, 2024 Katie

We’ve done it again! And by ‘it’, I mean getting our butts back into the Eurovision bubble and it was the absolute best time. Last year going to Turin felt like a one-off once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but then the UK got … Continue reading United by music in Liverpool | Eurovision 2023
