Yes Dervish didn’t exactly bring home the Eurovision bacon as we discuss in our European news, but if the pictures on the web site are a reflection of what went on they undoubtedly had a great time at the Eurovision song contest.

Not deterred by their low score the band went back to the Baltic in late May accompanying President Mary McAleese on her State Visits to Latvia and Lithuania. On May 22nd they performed a special concert in the Great Hall of Latvia Society House in Riga for President McAleese and President Vike-Freiberga of Latvia. On the 24th of May they gave a concert in Vilnius in honour of President Adamkus of Lithuania.www.dervish.ie
