2Pixies enjoyed the Georgian get together

Today we were invited to join the Georgian delegation at their get together with the Georgian Ambassador and their Swedish friendship community who were the hosts for the day.

The surroundings were spectacular. The event took place at Kulturfyren on Skeppsholmen amongst houseboats and creative ateliers. Great place to spend an afternoon in Stockholm!

While we wait for the concert to begin we use our time well and read about the beautiful country Georgia.

And then it's time for some music

Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz

Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz is a London based band. Their music is indie rock, and they took us on a musical journey to the indie rock and Britpop centre stage where Green day and Oasis once ruled the world, but now the Nika & Young Georgian Lolitaz has taken over! 

Thank you for at great concert and for the treat of traditional delicates you served for your guest.

It was a lovely lovely evening. 

Here's a video clip of Midnight Gold in a special acoustic version.

Today Team Heartbeat went to the Lavian Embassy

The Latvian Ambassador Gints Jegermanis, a lovely man and Eurovision fan as well, welcomed once again the Latvian delegation into his house for a cosy mingle with friends of the Embassy. 

We met him and his family back in 2012 in Copenhagen, when Latvia was competing in Eurovision in Malmö. At that time he was the Latvian ambassador in Denmark.
It was great to meet him again and like last time the evening's event started in the backyard with an intimate concert with both Justs and Aminata. Afterwards, the embassy had arranged a Swedish/Latvian "Fika" with sweet specialities from Latvia.

Fun fact: This is the place where the Latvian group Brainstorm also performed back in 2000. We were told it's considered "holy ground" for the Latvians, since Brainstorm not only started the Latvian journey within the Eurovision Song Conetst, but also came in in 3rd.
Two years later Latvia won the contest with Marie N.

 

 Justs performed Heartbeat in an acoustic version at the Embassy - watch it here:

Justs Meet & Greet at Euro Fan Café! Don't miss!

Aminata has arrived to Globen

Last year Aminata took Latvia all the way to top five. This year she has teamed up with Justs to fight their way to the top spot!

Today she came straight from Riga and jumped off the plane and went to Globen for the second rehearsals. The rehearsal went well and the team looks forward to the 2nd Semi Final on Tuesday.

If you would like to meet and greet Justs and Aminata, then come to Euro Fan Cafe Monday May 9th at 15:00. It's open to the public and the press. 

Aminata has just released her new single 'FIGHTER'. You can listen to it here:

2nd rehearsal went Just(s) well today.

Justs gave his all and everything looks promising. Team Heartbeat are overall happy with the today's rehearsal.

Busy Nordic Friday

Friday was a busy day for the Latvian delegation. The weather in Stockholm greeted us with sun, sun sun! A perfect day to take a stroll in the city of Eurovision.

Justs met up with Laura from Belgium and longboarded his way through the Tunnelbana and streets of Stockholm:

Do you wanna watch Justs longboarding!

The night ended at EuroClub - the place to be for all delegates and accreditated! - where the Nordic countries had put together a little get together. There were bite size tastings from all countries, and performances from participating artists.

At Kellerman's we Come Together... or is it at Eurovision?

It's 'round that time of the year where we pack our bags and travel to the big and beautiful resort called Eurovision.
Some comes to relax with friends, some to work, some to sing & dance and some to win the big contest. In which category do you belong? We - the 2Pixies & Pixie-Per - belongs in all of them! We are the little fairies you won't see until you do! 

Once again you will find us together with the Latvian delegation, where we will bring you first hand gems from Team #JustsHeartbeat.

See you soon - But until then... Here's a little sing-along-song!

At Euroland we come together singing all as one
We will share another seasons talent, play and fun
Now it's May and artists gather, Eurovision starts
And to Stockholm we will go with music our hearts

Join hands and hearts and voices
Voices, hearts and hands
At Eurovision friendships last long
As the Winner stands

Daytime, nighttime, any hour whether gay or blind
Flags and dancers, drinks and music happily combined

Join hands and hearts and voices
Voices, hearts and hands
At Eurovision friendships last long
As the Winner stands

Join hands and hearts and voices
Voices, hearts and hands
At Eurovision ...

Let's Just(s) take a moment to...
