I am gobsmacked, yet absolutely delighted, that this year’s UK entry for the Eurovision Song Contest will be sung by the legendary Engelbert Humperdinck.
Engelbert was my Mum’s favourite and he is an international superstar. Born Arnold George Dorsey in Madras, India, Engelbert had 8 top-ten hits in the UK charts – including his two chart topping hits Release Me and The Last Waltz.
I am hoping his new song for the Eurovision Song Contest is a hit, and that I can start to include it in my tribute show ‘A Night With Tom & Engelbert’. Let’s all get behind him and give him our full support !

About Andrew Sings.....
My name is Andrew Tait. I am originally from Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, and have now lived in Turkey for four years. Initially I lived on the beautiful Aegean coast of South West Turkey, and in 2012 I moved to the Fethiye area on the Mediterranean coast.
Formerly a communications professional in the global financial services industry, I had always had a huge desire to be a singer and share my enjoyment of music with other people. So much so that I spent many an evening in karaoke bars crooning my tunes whilst enjoying a fine ale or two! I even went for an audition (many years ago now) for a part in a West End musical - sadly without success.
In the early part of 2010 I was asked by two special friends if I would like to do a 'show' at their bar in Altinkum, Didim. Soon I was feeling the stress of learning 30 new songs in a four week period for a my very first ever public performance as a solo professional vocalist.
Since that first performance things have just steam-rollered, to the point in early 2012 I was doing five or six gigs regularly every week in Didim and Akbuk. I perform many classic and contemporary pop songs from across six decades. My favourite genre for singing is Swing and I frequently perform my various theme/tribute nights, including a Rat Pack Show.
I currently have over 200 songs in my repertoire, and I absolutely love my work as a singer.
Come on Engelbert
