Justin Hawkins To Try Out For Eurovision

Justin Hawkins and former East 17 man Brian Harvey are amongst the acts hoping to sing for the UK at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Also taking part in the Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up competition will be ex-Atomic Kitten singer Liz McClarnon, newcomer Cyndi, failed hip hop act Big Brovaz and Scooch.

The event will be televised on the BBC next month while the Eurovision final takes place in Helsinki in May.

Hawkins, who quit The Darkness last October, will perform the song ‘They Don't Make ‘Em Like They Used To’ with singer Beverlei Brown.

Last year’s Eurovision winner Lordi will also be performing ‘Hard Rock Hallelujah’ on the show.
