Saturday Flashback: Kurt Calleja – This Is The Night

One track comes on and you suddenly realise that everything’s brilliant.

Tim: Tom’s away at the moment, unfortunately, so it’s just me, but hopefully I can cope. You know how sometimes you’re out for an evening, and it seems a bit iffy, but then one track comes on and you suddenly realise that everything’s brilliant?

Tim: Well, I didn’t really mention it, but I went to see the truly wonderful Hera Björk performing in a club last Friday, and I never had that feeling at all, because this Eurovision track was playing as I walked through the door and I instantly had confirmation of what I’d already suspected: the night was going to be utterly fantastic. And it really, really was.

Sadly, that night in Baku wasn’t really The Night for Kurt, as this only came 21st out of 25, but as for last Friday – that really was the night. Hera is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
