Has it really been four years since the first Alternative Eurovision? On Friday, its latest outing launched this season’s London Wonderground with a mixed bag of musical shenanigans taking in comedy, burlesque, drag and some audience participation.
Taking as its inspiration the events in Copenhagen the following night, Anna Greenwood helmed a night which was a veritable kaleidoscope of outfits including pensioner Ida Barr’s hip-hop dress, Georgois Bourgeois’ Putin-inspired onesie and the burkha and military uniform displayed during Des O’Connor’s number.
This was the full line-up of Alternative Eurovision 2014:
- Anna Greenwood (host)
- Sofie Hagen
- Benjamin Louche
- Bourgeois and Maurice (winners)
- Des O’Connor
- Dusty Limits
- Four Femmes on the Thames
- Flange Krammer
- Ida Barr
- Lili La Scala
- Roulston & Young
- Tempest Rose
