Baku to you!

Are you planning on going then? Hmm. Someone costed the planned trip to Azerbaijan next May at around £5K for the two weeks - which sounds like a lot of money. At this stage, I can't envisage the six hour plane trip to Baku and, given the time difference, settling down in the audience to watch the contest at midnight. Maybe I'm not being adventurous enough. Maybe I should throw caution - and five grand - to the wind. Not Wind, the German band I hasten to add.

Only seven months until the Swiss final . . .
