The Jon Lilygreen and the Islanders Story.

OK, How is a band from Wales, Scotland, Norway and England representing Cyprus in this years Eurovision song contest?

Well, we (Sylvia Strand and Jonathan Gregory) run a recording studio in the South Wales Valleys and advertise our 'song development' services on the internet.

 In August 2009 a songwriter from Cyprus found our studio on the web and sent two of his songs to us for production. - We did our 'studio magic' (involving the best local talent) and sent the Cypriot chap the finished recordings ... he then (without our knowledge) entered them into the Cyprus heats of Eurovision - and both songs made it to the final.

Nasos (the songwriter) then called us and asked if we would fly to Cyprus and perform the songs live on TV in the Cyprus Finals - we accepted the challenge (free holiday) went for a week of TV rehersals - live final - AND WON - 12 points from the Jury and 12 points from the tele voteing.

That's it!

.

Cheers - Jon Gregory. Producer.

(The song was produces in the back bedroom of a miners cottage in the Rhondda Valley.)We love Cyprus and we love Eurovision! oh, you can buy the single on iTUNES
