Another interview, another attractive woman to chat with! Tough life, isn't it? Now this interview took a while to happen, seeing that this lady was the first in the press room but had to go for her sound check before I got the chance to talk to her. I have David Elder to thank for getting her attention - him helping out with her delegation allowed me to speak with:
By this time, it was very bright outside and Jana needed to shade her eyes - I had no issue with us both wearing sunglasses, hence her first comments...
Jana Burčeska from FYR Macedonia

I was very pleased to have finally talked to her before I finished my time in the press room - she was very popular during that first hour, as she was the only artist to enter the room but she seemed to be continually in attendance by someone from the press:
I felt that this chat with Jana produced a very interesting interview, with lots of information about the official video (I was pleased that my question about the older actress seemed to go down well) and also her thoughts about "Dance Alone" in general were enlightening. Her repertoire is very wide and yet engaging, with her Eurovision entry perhaps being more mainstream and therefore more suitable for Eurovision. Jana was definitely chatty throughout and ad-libbed more during this interview than some of my others - hopefully listeners to this interview will vote for her, as she requested!
And so onto my last interview at The London Eurovision Party press event - I might have got more but I had to leave at 4pm so I could get ready and be in line for the VIP experience at the big show itself. Who was my last interviewee? Yet another attractive woman, another blonde and yet another who was extremely passionate about her work and what the song she was singing meant to her.

A lady whose song highlights persecution
and who is prepared to promote her beliefs in unusual ways...
The bold and beautiful Kasia Moś from Poland!
