OGAE

Fans across the UK are gearing up for the return of the Boom Bang a Bang preview night. The party will take place on the 30th of April and promise to be a gathering where fans can have a lot of fun together.

OGAE United Kingdom won the OGAE Song Contest 2009, which was held by last year's winner OGAE Croatia, with the song Viva la Vida by Coldplay with 241 points. Greece came second with 211 points and Italy placed 3rd with 152 points in the contest. 

Delegates from the UK and beyond attended the 4th OGAE  Bash in Birmingham.  A day of thrills, spills, and unlikely winners.  Plus who would win the annual Stars in their Eurovision Eyes contest for 2009?

The Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision, OGAE, which is the most famous fan club of the Eurovision Song Contest, is holding its annual contest, the OGAE Song Contest. Each country's own section of the ODAE is participating. This year's contest is being held in Croatia.

Lonnie (Devantier) Kjer represented Denmark at the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest. Songwriters, her record company and her manager were fighting and the 17 year old girl was scared away. 18 years later she is stronger, more mature and ready with an album in the soft rock style she likes the most.

Having been beaten by Kirsten and Søren's gimicks two years in row Lise Haavik was happy when she won the ticket to represent Denmark at the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest. Lise is still active as singer who sings pop as well as jazz - and then she has found a call teaching in singing.

After the two Danish fan clubs merged into one the members have been voting on the best name for the magazine that will launch later this summer. The new name was presented on a meeting in Århus Saturday and its “Douze Points” for the Danes.

Ireland's branch of the OGAE network were the latest to conduct their preview party voting.  It was no surprise that Sweden took the top spot considering it's popularity amongst most fans.
