Music industry legend Pete Waterman said Liverpool’s amazing atmosphere makes it a great place to host Eurovision.
Pete is renowned for his work on a multitude of number one hits from stars such as Kylie Minogue, Steps and Rick Astley. However, the Coventry-born DJ is well known in Liverpool, having presented a show on Radio City and covering Merseyside nightclubs on the popular ITV show The Hitman and Her.
Pete is no stranger to Eurovision either. He has penned entries for several Eurovision songs, albeit with mixed results. Speaking to the ECHO on board a train packed with hundreds of Eurovision fanatics, Pete said: "I finished last but once, and last but twice. I never got nil pois though, that’s my claim to fame!”
