Bambie Thug: 'It's lovely to be supported by my country, when I sometimes feel a bit like an alien'

Bambie Thug has told how they were “blown away by the country voting” for them to represent Ireland at Eurovision this year.

The second semi final will take place on May 9, with the grand final airing at 8pm on RTE One on May 11. “But I guess after university, I started to homeschool myself on how to write more structured music, pop music, dance music. I remember I wrote this one song, and it was called Loving You and my manager at the time was like, ‘this is it, this is the song’.

“I kind of realise — and it’s funny to see the progression, from say, my first few shows as Bambie Thug until now. You get more comfortable, the more you do. They recalled, “Before Christmas, I was talking to my sister and I was just like, ‘I need to spend some time in Ireland and nurture my Irish fanbase’. And I also wanted to be able to see my family a bit more and so I entered.Bambie told how Eurovision had “always been something that has passed my mind” — and there was one moment in particular that “planted the seed” to take part.

They laughed, “My mother told me afterwards, ‘I was going around to everyone saying, who are you voting for? And if they didn’t say you, I said, wrong.’ The Last Summer singer told how they feel “like if it’s connecting with a part of you, then that’s the part its meant to highlight”. “And then the mid-late talks about my mental health — ‘for your romance, I beg, steal and borrow’ — that, for me, for my brain to stop being its worst enemy, I would do anything. And on training your ways of thinking that have been probably put on you because of your experience e in the world.“And I think it’s funny, because some people are saying that it’s two different songs in one — and it’s not.

“But I guess seeing Conchita on there, just being completely themselves unashamedly, was a good moment — it was a big moment for me to witness.”They continued, “It’s been very up and down — a lot of work, not enough sleep — but it’s funny, when I take time off to not do things, I find myself finding something to do.
