Eurovision winners send two words of advice to Liverpool as city prepares to host event

Eurovision winners Måneskin issued advice on what Liverpool needs to do to host a successful event.

The Italian rock band were triumphant in the 2021 edition of the international song contest. They were interviewed about the upcoming edition of Eurovision by Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid on today's Good Morning Britain.

A jubilant spirit has swept across Liverpool since the city was announced as the host of next year's Eurovision. Maneskin revealed they hoped to attend the spectacular event in Merseyside next year.

Bassist Victoria De Angelis also issued key advice as she said the city simply needs to provide a "warm welcome" for the spectacle to be a success. The Eurovision bid team told the ECHO the friendly atmosphere of the city was one of the reason's why Liverpool become next year's host.

ACC Managing Director Faye Dyer said: "It will have come down to the people, the culture, the ethos, the whole vibe that is Liverpool and what is the right fit for Eurovision.

"Alongside the glitz and glamour, Eurovision is about how people are made to feel and that is down to our communities. That's not down to any infrastructure, that is down to the people that live here and made Liverpool their home and how they make other people feel when they come here."

The bid was led by Claire McColgan and the council's director of culture said Liverpool "is hard to ignore" when the people unite behind a cause like they have behind the Eurovision bid. She said: "It's one of those things that captured everyone's imagination. "It's the most important Eurovision ever because of what it stands for and this city has always stood up for people in need.

"It's a city of solidarity and compassion. We will do a really good show but it will be the people of Liverpool that embraces this. They know this is slightly more important than a party in an arena. This is about peace, Europe and music.

"It's got so many different angles to it and I just know that Liverpool and Eurovision are a match."
