Luxembourg: Details revealed about the past collaboration with San Marino for Eurovision!
New details have emerged about a potential partnership from nearly a decade ago that would bring Luxembourg to Eurovision 2015.
Ahead of Eurovision 2015, there were reports that Luxembourg and San Marino were to team up for an entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Thierry Mersch gave an interview to Luxembourger Wort explaining more about how he almost represented San Marino and Luxembourg on the Eurovision stage:
“A member of the ESC delegation from San Marino TV contacted me and at first I wasn’t sure whether he was serious at all. The idea was for two European microstates to come together for a unique project.”
Then there was a discussion about cooperation, which was sparked by the then Minister of Culture stating her agreement to regarding the return of Luxembourg. New details revealed:
“The song was already decided, I already had a duet partner. Since the organizers did not want to support this unique project alone, Luxembourg was supposed to contribute 50,000 euros – and that ultimately failed.”
It is not known who the duet partner would be, nor the song that was to be performed. San Marino participated in Eurovision 2015 represented by two previous participants of the state in Junior Eurovision. Anita Simoncini and Michele Perniola and the song “Chain of Lights”.
Luxembourg returns to the Eurovision Song Contest this year in Malmö after a hiatus of 31 years represented by Tali Golergant and the song “Fighter”
