For all those people who are interested in the Eurovision Song
Contest, here are some details about the 2003 contest in the UK.
Due to Tara, the Irish television channel shown on UK Satellite
has ceased broadcasting, hence I cannot provide a full run down
like in previous years. Also the Irish winner will be selected by
a "Pop Idol" selection process running for 20 weeks,
like the Spanish version in 2002.
