“I love it [Eurovision] – it’s camp as anything isn’t it? – In all seriousness, its about the music… and I am over the moon that Liverpool gets to host it. 

“This city has such a history with music and the whole world is going to have its eyes on us once again, it’s an amazing thing to be a part of.”

Sun 14 May: EuroLove Repair Job

Feeling a bit tender from the night before? Love Lane has got you covered, head on down to fill yourself up with a proper Sunday Roast to soak up the Eurovision antics and get back to feeling more human before it is back to reality on Monday.

The venue have created a special brew inspired by Ukrainian flavours, a malty and crisp Vienna larger. Plus, a Ukranian herbal beer with flavours of the Carpathian mountains including Mint, Thyme and Marigold.

Both are currently being brewed and will be ready within the next few weeks with a portian of the profits being donated to Ukranian charities. 

Filla said: 

“I am made up to be working with one of my favourite venues in the city – I adore Love Lane – it is such a great space. 

“As a queer artist I think it is amazing that somewhere, which you wouldn’t necessarily associate with being a queer-space, is organising an event like this. This is what I want from EuroLove, I want it to feel like a safe space for everyone to come along and just have a laugh and a good time.

“It should have been me representing the UK, I know everyone will be devastated, and I am pretty sure that song Mae Muller wrote is about me! So I am gonna perform my new song ‘I wrote a song about Mae’ – Miley Cyrus will have nothing on me.”

So if a weeklong festival celebrating all that’s Eurovision is what you want then pop down to Love Lane Brewery between 6 – 14 May to get yourself involved.
