Hi, I’m Angelos from Sweden. I have been following Eurovision every year since early childhood. What initially got me attracted to Eurovision was the variety of languages we got introduced to through music. My first ever memory goes back to 1988 when I was watching ESC together with my parents. I knew all songs by heart that year and it must have been then when I fell in love with the contest. It was also the first year that I actually recorded ESC in video and haven’t missed a single contest since. Never in the pre-internet period did I ever imagine that I one day would somehow be part of it, connected with so many other people with same interest, sharing our devotion and love for the contest, sharing thoughts or discussing favorite songs, let alone attend live to a contest myself – which I finally did for the first time in 2006, in Athens. It was an amazing feeling and atmospheare in the arena and a new startpoint in my Eurovision journey experiencing all this live. Since then I have again attended Eurovision in 2016 and 2018.
My name is Fotis and my surname Kourovanis. Or more simply fkourou! Born in the mid-80s and with intense “family” musical influences, music almost fatally followed me from my early age. Getting guitar and vocal lessons from a young age,Eurovision was expected to catch my attention. As far as the journalism concerns, professional and scientific reasons, as an internationalist-economist, have given me the opportunity to write frequently. So with Eurovision combining the music and the journalism , I almost had to “accept” this challenge and take the opportunity. So, here I am, Eurofuns!
My name is Thanos Kritsimis and I was borned in Piraeus but I grew up and live in Thessaloniki. I graduate from Faculty of Theology at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and I’m actively involved in volunteering. I love reading English literature, watching social-issue documentaries , old Hollywood movies and of course the Eurovision Song Contest. I started watching the contest in 2003 after my sisters instigation because both of us were fans of t.A.T.u. Some other entries that stand out for me are: ‘’I Feed You My Love’’ by Margaret Berger (Norway 2013) and ‘’Rändajad’’ by Urban Symphony (Estonia 2009).
