A Man Called Eurovision

by Garry Holland

Eurovision - a harsh, unforgiving environment where only the strongest survive; where farce and fiasco are just a short step from the enticing path to fame and fortune; and where the legendary Sigfrid 'Siggi' Stormisson stalks the tangled undergrowth as the undisputed apex predator... This is a man who's taken part in the contest five times, written the winning song three times and composed a total of thirty-two entries for thirty-three different countries - a feat still unexplained from a mathematical perspective. But when accused of cheating his way to his most recent victory, Siggi finds himself hit with a humiliating life ban. Yet this only fires his determination to find a way of winning the next contest. The problem is, ghosts from his colourful and controversial fifty-year career are equally hell-bent on torpedoing his duplicitous scheme. Can Siggi do it? Will his enemies stop him? And why on earth are bubbles so important? Not so much a whodunnit as a who'll-win-it, 'A Man Called Eurovision' delivers all the answers.
