Eurovision heats up in Athens
“Our rehearsal today was even better than our first one the other day,” said Irish hopeful Brian Kennedy. “Again, the sound people were fantastic. They were incredibly supportive. They must be so tired but they seem to have found energy from somewhere. And it was so nice to hear people clapping after the rehearsal.”
If Kennedy was worried about getting through the Eurovision qualifier on Thursday, he can take comfort from the fact that Ladbrokes have skinny odds on qualification for Ireland at just 5/4. When it comes to winning the competition outright though Brian’s odds are a good deal longer at 28/1.
