Discussion surrounding the world's largest live music event, Eurovision, will be held at The Hive next week.

The discussion will look into different parts of the well-known competition before it begins.

The Hive's Arts and Humanities academic liaison librarian, Tom Mandall, and associate lecturer in Media and Culture from the University of Worcester, Lou Aimes-Hill, will host the talk on May 7.

Mr Mandall and Ms Aimes-Hill are set to discuss their top 10 entries in the Eurovision history. The talk is part of the summer-long Out Loud series at The Hive and it is free to attend.

The event will commence at 6pm and will conclude by 7pm, allowing attendees enough time to return home for the Eurovision Semifinal at 8pm. Interested individuals should book a place through The Hive's website.

Lou Aimes-Hill said: "I’ve only missed one Eurovision since I was 11. It’s a glorious celebration of everything, it’s beautiful, it’s inclusive and this talk is going to be an exploration of what Eurovision really is, why we enjoy it today, the history of it and the queerness of it as well.”

"It’ll be interactive too; we’ll be talking about different songs over the years because Eurovision is a different experience for everyone who watches it."

Tom Mandall said: "Eurovision is a gift of 40 or so tracks at the start of summer and it means different things to different people, for me it’s a week where it’s all about the music.

"Eurovision is a really broad church, so this talk is for anyone with any level of interest in the competition, not just the Eurovision superfans."
