It’s Eurovision time again and following Azerbaijan’s win in 2011 with “Running Scared” sung by Eldar and Nigar, this year’s contest takes place in the Crystal Hall in Baku. The Eurovision is the world’s biggest song contest and every year an estimated 125 million viewers tune in.

Ten countries from each of the two semi-finals last week will feature in the final and will be joined by Azerbaijan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Marty Whelan will provide commentary for Irish viewers.
