Annual convention 2022


We would like to kindly invite all Eurovision fans to our Annual Club Convention in 2022 on November 19th at the GLORIA-Theater in Cologne.

 

In order to minimize the risk of possible infection with the corona virus at our club meeting, we have decided, out of consideration for all visitors, to request the submission of a negative rapid test from a certified test center (maximum 36 hours old). This will be checked upon entry into the GLORIA. We apologize for any inconvenience!

We have invited the following star guests:

 

Ingrid Laurent© Getter Jaani (FB) Dear club meeting guests,

we had to make a change to our star guests for the club meeting: Unfortunately, for health reasons, Stefan cannot travel to Germany and perform with us in Cologne. We very much regret this, wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him at our next club meeting on November 25th. 2023.

But we managed to win another guest from Estonia for us at short notice:

 

GETTER JAANI


Eleven years after her ESC participation in Düsseldorf, Getter Jaani returns to the Rhineland for a weekend. In 2011 she "only" took 24th place in the final with the catchy tune "Rockefeller Street". On the other hand, the contribution of the 29-year-old continues to enrich every ESC party - and that will also be the case at the GLORIA.

 

 

 

   

SELMA & FRIÐRIK ÓMAR

At ESC 2019, Selma and Friðrik performed as a duo in the Euro Fan Café. The two delighted the fans with a rousing ESC program. We are therefore particularly looking forward to their joint appearance.

 In 1999, Selma became second at the ESC in Jerusalem with her song "All Out Of Luck" for Iceland. In 2005 she was already an acclaimed star guest at our club meeting.

Friðrik Ómar
represented Iceland together with Regina Ósk as Euroband at ESC 2008 in Belgrade with "This Is My Life". In 2009 he was backing singer for Yohanna in Moscow and in 2019 he came second in the Icelandic preselection.

    

Ingrid Laurent© Chiara   

 

CHIARA

With "The One That I Love" (1998, 3rd place) and "Angel" (2005, 2nd place), Chiara scratched the first ESC victory for Malta twice.
When she took part for the third time in 2009, she came in 22nd with "What If We".

We are happy to finally welcome the powerful-voiced ballad queen to our GLORIA.

WRS

With "Llámame" WRS landed 18th place at this year's ESC - and not only in his Romanian homeland an acclaimed summer hit.
We called him and booked him for the club meeting, where he's bound to rip everyone from their seats with hot Latino rhythms.

 

 

 

 

  

In addition to the appearances of the star guests, there will again be contributions to the programme. The traditional ESC disco with DJ Ohrmeister afterwards depends on the corona rules that apply at the time.The same applies to the traditional raffle.

Bernd has been a member of the ECG since the association was founded and, together with Stefan Leidner from the OGAE, made the Frankfurt regional meeting one of the largest local ESC meetings in Germany. There he moderates the previews, each with over 100 guests, as well as the "Grand Prix sur le Main", an internal Frankfurt competition.
