A thread for the other contests. Choir. Young Dancer and Junior Eurovision.
Saturday sees the second edition of Eurovision Choir taking place at the Partille Arena, Gothenburg, Sweden, SVT being the host broadcaster. BBC Alba (Scotland) and S4C (Cymru Wales) are taking part.
๐ถWhich of our 10 fantastic choirs will be named #EurovisionChoir 2019 on Saturday night and take home this trophy?๐
One of the hosts is BBC Radio 3 Breakfast Presenter Petroc Trelawny.
Very excited that I am presenting @EurovisionChoir this weekend live from Gothenburg. Scottish choir Alba and Wales's Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion represent these islands ... watch the show at 7.30pm Saturday @BBCALBA@S4C@BBCiPlayer
There seems to be a small resurgence in interest in the UK for these non-ESC shows (and high time too in my opinion). The JESC never really took off in the UK and after a couple of years worth of entering it disappeared and hasnโt come back. (It was decidedly odd seeing ITV present a Eurovision show).
Hosting the Young Musicians last year in Edinburgh and now Scotland and Wales competing in Choir of the Year is definitely a step in the right direction.
Deferred Start time
โข Live show begins at 20h00 CEST/Gothenburg
โข Transmission begins at 20h30 CEST (30 minute deferred)
โข During jury deliberations, c. 25โ of off air content (European Choir Games) is cut
โข At the time of the results announcement the broadcast will be c. 5โ deferred
NOTE: Since the defer is small and the broadcast is simultaneous with the live event, the term โlive
broadcastโ is used throughout the EBU literature.
Clever but one hell of a live edit job being done by the production team, with the broadcast output catching up the actuality as the 112 minutes were broadcast.
Host City is Gliwice-Silesia and that the 2019 Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be held at Arena Gliwice, after last year it was announced that the competition would travel to Poland.
Oh its DVB Cornwall, I thought for a moment Tumble Dryer had graced us with his presence. But then he hasn't posted about Junior Eurovision since 2010 so...
In fact now I've wrote this he'll be along shortly I have no doubt.
