FEATURE: Eurovision gets the X-Factor
BY EMMA GALLEN FULL STORY
After working through the first Eurovision semi-final, the second clearly allowed for a well deserved break. Essays are due (impending doom), but Jedward and ice cream are too hard to resist. Glee is clearly a big influence this year, the best act being Estonia with the Rachel Berry-esque girl singing about going to Rockefeller Street. There is no Rockefeller Street, in case you were wondering, but that is irrelevant for the voters of Eurovision.

As things stood before the election, student representatives could say with a certain degree of confidence that fees would not be increasing in Northern Ireland.

ARTS: Yelle – Safari Disco Club
BY JANETTE LOUGHLIN FULL STORY
I’m by no means fluent in French, but I know my feel-good tunes when I hear them! Enter ‘Safari Disco Club’, a soundtrack to your summer just waiting to be played out along side beach parties, living room raves (complete with home-made foam machine) and night drives in the tepid summer air. Yes, it’s sung entirely in French with the exception of a bonus remix track, but that doesn’t make it incomprehensible if you’re not Pepé Le Pew. Fun transcends the language barrier with this album. You’ll probably make more sense of these lyrics than Lady Gaga’s newest export anyway. Plus they toured with Katy Perry on her UK tour earlier this spring, bringing the exposure Yelle needs to make it big here on the summer circuit.

ARTS: Willy Mason in the Speakeasy
BY THOMAS BALFOUR
Last time Willy Mason was in town the crowd egged him on to down a bottle of Buckfast twenty minutes into his set. “They told me it was wine,” he groans tonight. You might, therefore, expect him to be wary of a Belfast audience but instead he revels in the warm rapport he has with his fans here.
