Is there a hole in your life? Is it shaped like the Eurovision Song Contest? Or is Eurovision already the highlight of your year - like Christmas but without the unwelcome visitors? Whether you're a Eurovision veteran or virgin, this book explains how to maximise the sheer magnificence of this unique event, explores the trials of being a fan and relives some key contests from the past: when ABBA won, when the UK plunged into the 'nul points' abyss, when a German lady pretended to be a jukebox, when much-mocked Norway finally came good and many more. From Frizzle Sizzle to Fud Leclerc, it's a fan's-eye view of the great, the good, the bad and the Swiss. Part celebration, part confession, part survival toolkit, 'Eurovision: A Funny Kind of Euphoria' puts every key aspect of Eurovision firmly in the spotlight: the triumphs, the traumas, the travesties - and, of course, the hats.
