Question, could we on this board...

[eurovisionireland]

Find links to amateur artists on myspace, post a link up to their myspace site and ask them would they consider entering the Eurovision and listen to the potential songs? After all there is enough knowledge on this board to entice bands to enter. We are not OGAE affiliated (so we are not ESC fundamentalists lol). In a nutshell, we seek out talent and ask them would they consider entering ESC? We could review the songs etc. It would keep the board ticking over during the quiet period!

If it gives the UK a great song for once, that'd be great. There's many unknown artists and bands out there waiting to be discovered

I guess that is something that can be considered. I am just worried that it turn into a big mess cause everyone and their brother would add links and it would kill the whole purpose of this.

So you are saying you would sort it by Country and add links?

[eurovisionireland]

If you want Mao you could take charge and i give a hand! If we did sort it by country then we could easily organise them. There is the problem of every Tom Dick and Harry sending in songs but if we vet them perhaps we could organise some system to help prevent an over flow. I dont think we would have an overflow of people though, is the ESC "cool" enough for most bands to enter?

I have started looking, have a look at this in Belguim

Scintilli S. Pulsazio, check out the track Wings of a Butterfly . Its a little heavier than this years Turkish entry!

Yeah, we can create a topic like that. I don't see why not. Will work on that in just a little bit.

Why limit it to just myspaces? Last year several members wrote emails to famous artists using the 'contact' link on their sites doesn't hurt to try! As long as we don't totally bombard people it should be fine!

Yep, the more the merrier. The reason I suggested my space was that most big artists now had myspace sites and plus I myself am interested in unsigned bands!. In saying that we can also google them , use youtube, their direct links etc. Good idea.

I've begun anyway I messaged Maria Rubia (had a #3 hit in 2001 in the UK with "Everytime You Need Me" with Fragma), and Saving Jane (some people may know them from NSC, my favourite band)! Now to see if they reply...

[eurovisionireland]

I myspaced Tarkan with a message to see if he would be interested, doubt I will get a reply though

[Matt]

I do definitley! I have started a new job and am working latge hours a lot but yes count me in

BT Niamh Kavanagh wont do it

[Matt]

Okay, when you get a chance why don't you open a new topic in the 2009 section and I will make it sticky then? Just try to sort them by countries etc, I'm sure you have it all figured out already

[eurovisionireland]

As in one post for each country?

[eurovisionireland]

or a new topic for each country?

[Matt]

No, only one topic
