The (Irish) road to Eurovision 2008


A puppet bird has been chosen by a public vote to represent Ireland in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Serbia in May.
Dustin The Turkey was selected from a group of six finalists, winning a televised vote on Saturday night with a song called Irelande Douze Pointe, which is a take-off of Eurovision scoring.
Dustin has been a star of various local television programmes for almost 20 years and has already released 14 singles and six albums. His last album - Bling When You're Minging - was released in 2005 and featured a duet with Chris De Burgh.

Well we in the UK selected Daz Sampson and Scooch as our respective Eurovision entries for 2006 & 2007, so another turkey won't make a difference in this competition....
