Salford is about to make waves on the European music scene yet again — but it’s about as far removed from New Order and Happy Mondays as you can get.
That’s because the BBC is moving its Eurovision broadcasting hub to MediaCity in the city’s Quays. That means the UK’s scores will be delivered from the North West for the first time.
And the BBC has also revealed who will be telling Europe — and Australia — how Great Britain has voted. AJ Odudu will have the honour of telling the ceremony in Turin ‘Ciao Italia, this is SALFORD calling,’ on May 14.
