A Eurovision superfan has already begun preparations for the competition.
Karl Emmerson, who lives in the L8 area of Liverpool, has decorated the front window of his partner’s hair salon in celebration of the Eurovision Song Contest coming to the city next year.
The 56-year-old Alder Hey nurse transformed the opening of Spellbound Hair Salon, located behind Primark in the City Centre, into a piece which is based on artist Keith Haring. The artwork references iconic parts of Liverpool - the Liver Building - and includes a portrait of Sam Ryder, the UK’s 2022 Eurovision singer. To keep in line with the festive season it is completed with drawings of Holly and Ivy.
