I'm continuing to follow up national selection for Eurovision 2015 song contest to be held in Vienna, Austria this May.
By now I have listed contestants and their songs under tag Eurovision.
Now it's turn to add a new contestant, this time Electro Velvet who is going to represent United Kingdom.
The BBC has revealed that Electro Velvet, a musical duo consisting of Alex Larke and Bianca Nicholas, will represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015, performing the song Still In Love With You.
