Moldovans in Ireland

Nina Žižić may not have had fun at the Irish party tonight, but we did! And so did the Moldovans!

They do like a good clap!


And a ceilidh! We did this at a wedding once, and we were nowhere near this good.


And it wasn't just them who had fun! We did, when we got to clink drinks with Pasha (Hi Pasha!), and when we got introduced to the Slovenian dancers (Hi Slovenian dancers!) (Thanks Mike). And then when this happened. Hi Alan! This will definitely help your ranking on the hotties list tomorrow.

More on the Irish party

That was a good party. Nice food, as you can see in Jonas' post, lots of cider and some Irish Coffee (we'll never sleep now. Ah well).

An Irish Trad band did some Trad music (what a real Irish person would call "tourist music" because they don't actually listen to it), with the help of Ryan's drummers, who were scattered all over the pub looking for attendants who weren't clapping properly.

Our own Sam was the one they named and shamed.







Then Ryan performed his song - vocally solid, that's what I could pick up from where I was. The Moldovans were having a great time, while Nina Žižić was watching it with a rather unimpressed expression throughout the performance - or is this the Montenegrin way of having a good time? Ok, this isn't really interesting, I just like writing Nina Žižić.

Finally, we asked Ryan what he thinks the hamster (as shown in Sild's earlier rehearsal post) was doing. He thinks the hamster is "hovering" - great answer, really. Obviously Ryan is more than just a good singer/songwriter.

Sabotage!

If you're going to leave these things around the place...

...you can expect them to be turned into this:

No offence, Ireland! It was a lovely little late-afternoon/early-evening gathering at Fagans pub in Malmö Old Town, with the first drinks tokens of the year, some really nice (and unexpected!) sit-down food, and a healthy dose of music and dancing from the Green Isle. A fine ice-breaker on the delegation party front, and a good warm-up before the legendary DJ Ohrmeister's set at EuroClub tonight. We have made requests....

Irish party at The Fag Bar

Well, ok, it's really called Fagans. But there's plenty of drink tokens (Hello Athens) and all of a sudden we got free food on our tables. Yum.

Right now some Irish band is playing music that sounds like a lovechild between "Born to sing" and "They cant stop the spring". Well. We are told there will be ACTUAL performances later.

Oh. And Pasha is here with us. Hi!

Update: Aliona Moon (2 metres tall) has been riverdancing, Ryan Dolan has performed, and we were taught how to clap our hands the Irish way.

Sild was a bit surprised to see the food

Hurray! Hurray! It's a Farid, Farid Day!

It's Farid Day!

Disappointingly, Farid Mammadov kept all his clothes on today, both during the rehearsal and at the meet and greet afterwards, so we decided to make up for that and select five of our favourite Farid photos, presented here for your viewing pleasure.










Hi Farid!
