Posting to mark the sad news that Marion Fossett of Ireland’s 1981 #Eurovision entry Sheeba has died, aged 71. Marion (on the right) was ring mistress of Ireland’s premier circus, Fossett’s circus and a household name in Ireland for most of her life. RIP

29 May is the latest date of the year the #Eurovision Grand Final has ever been held, in both 1999 and 2010. As they’ve been posted I conclude my tweets marking all contests past for another year. The next ESC anniversary, the 70th anniversary of 1957, will be 3 March 2027 ♥️
