by Garry Holland (Author)
Eurovision - a harsh, unforgiving environment where only the strongest survive; where farce and fiasco are just a short step from the enticing path to fame and fortune; and where the legendary Sigfrid 'Siggi' Stormisson stalks the tangled undergrowth as the undisputed apex predator... This is a man who's taken part in the contest five times, written the winning song three times and composed a total of thirty-two entries for thirty-three different countries - a feat still unexplained from a mathematical perspective. But when accused of cheating his way to his most recent victory, Siggi finds himself hit with a humiliating life ban. Yet this only fires his determination to find a way of winning the next contest. The problem is, ghosts from his colourful and controversial fifty-year career are equally hell-bent on torpedoing his duplicitous scheme. Can Siggi do it? Will his enemies stop him? And why on earth are bubbles so important? Not so much a whodunnit as a who'll-win-it, 'A Man Called Eurovision' delivers all the answers.
Author Biography
Garry Holland is a freelance writer - and an unapologetic fan of the Eurovision Song Contest. He chats about Eurovision on national, local and community radio. Even though (outrageously!) he wasn't asked any questions about Eurovision, he was a semi-finalist in the 2017 series of BBC Radio 4's music quiz 'Counterpoint' and once won a splendid digital radio on Ken Bruce's 'Popmaster' quiz on BBC Radio 2. Garry lives in Oxfordshire, UK, with his wife, daughter and son.
