Quiz: Who are these acts representing at this year's Eurovision?

Singer-songwriters, folk groups and a BDSM art collective are all vying for this year’s Eurovision gong.

OVER THE COURSE of the coming week, the Eurovision will see countries vying for the top prize in the 64th edition of the song contest.

Israel swept to victory in last year’s contest, and Tel Aviv will play host to the semi-finals and final over the coming days. 

Thousands of people are set to descend on the Israeli city over the next few days, and it comes just after a truce was agreed with Palestinian leaders in Gaza bringing a ceasefire after escalating violence in the region. 

That conflict has formed a different kind of backdrop to this year’s competition, with 200 million people expected to tune in. 

As always with the Eurovision, a wide variety of acts – including Ireland’s Sarah McTernan – are all bidding to come out on top. But who are these acts representing?

    @dB O’Neill: It’s a bit silly having a viewing boycott. I mean RTE will not care, they already have their advertising slots filled for the intervals. A campaign around boycotting any company who bought those advertising slots would be more likely to have an impact.

    @Hans Vos: Hi Hans, I’m not brainwashed and permanently cemented in a single point of view like you are. I analyse both sides of every story, and then come to a conclusion based on the best evidence. Your pathetic reply tells me you’ve never taken off any pair of blinkers in your life, I know more about the history of Israel post World War 2, and the Old Testament tribal claims than you do. I have also read The Jerusalem Post and Haaretz on a weekly basis for the last 15 years. Your ignorance and lack of critical thinking is beyond pitiful.

    Callous = watching a country bringing a previously respectable music festival into disrepute by inviting an international audience to pretend that it doesn’t tolerate theocratic apartheid and the genocide that logically results. I won’t watch it and I wont ever visit any pub that shows it. She might be young and talented but McTernan is naive in the extreme if she thinks this will further her musical career.

    That last one might be representing Montrose but she certainly isn’t representing Ireland, that’s for sure. She has pretty much ruined whatever music career she might have managed in Ireland, too.
