Who is Bambie Thug? Ireland's alternative Eurovision entry who captured the world's attention with their gothic performance
Ireland's 2024 entry, Bambie Thug, is an unexpected favourite of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, after blowing fans away with their showstopping semi-final performance.
Speaking to the Irish Mail on Sunday, they explained their childhood involved 'so much time in the field' pretending they were in Lord of the Rings and 'talking to trees and making potions,' which they described as being 'really lovely'. The singer explained to Rolling Stone that the alternative-rock track follows 'a young witch fed up with bad relationships writing in their 'blaze bible' and casting a spell to make 'a new better boyfriend' - but instead of a human they conjure a strange creature.' Another Irish fan happily remarked: 'The fact that so many people were saying that Bambie Thug representing Ireland in Eurovision would get us dead last but now they're fifth favourite in the odds to win the whole thing is most pleasing to me.'
