Eurovision euphoria 

The Household Division’s resident pop band Blue Red Blue received a rapturous reception when they played the host nation’s iconic hits at the British embassy in Tallinn.

The outfit delighted audiences by covering the Baltic state’s Eurovision entry for this year as well as tunes from times past. They were playing their part in defence engagement during the gathering in the capital, some 50 miles west of Tapa, where British personnel lead a Nato battlegroup.

Band boss and bass guitarist CSgt Liam Compson (RCAM) said the performance had been well received – with enthusiastic applause for the Eurovision hits.

“Everyone enjoyed themselves – we had a great five days in Estonia,” he added. Read more about CSgt Compson’s off-duty musical exploits on page 60.
