Excitement for Bambie Thug’s Eurovision performance on Saturday is sending WhatsApp groups into overdrive as locals in the artist’s hometown find creative ways to show their support.

The non-binary artist will be the first Irish Eurovision Song Contest finalist since Ryan O’Shaughnessy qualified in 2018. Bambie was among 10 competing countries to make it through to the final in last Tuesday’s semi-final with their performance of Doomsday Blue in Malmo.
