Come visit us again: in the weeks to come we will introduce participating artists right here ->

Krista Siegfrids

Kejsi Tola

The 2019 Line Up

Remember last year’s show?

Here you can have another look at the contestants that helped make Amsterdam Calling 2019 succesful!

Ronnie Tober

was born in the Netherlands, but moved to the United States at a very early age, grew up there and started a singing career. He returned to the Netherlands at the age of 19 and kept singing. In 1965 he participated in the Dutch national finals for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song ‘Geweldig’ (‘Fabulous’). He did not win the ticket, but the song became a Dutch hit record. In 1968 Ronnie participated in Eurovision with the song ‘Morgen’ (‘Tomorrow’) but the results were disappointing. The English version of the song became a hit record by the Blue Diamonds. Ronnie has had a succesful and stable Dutch carreer ever since. Nowadays he’s still performing, last May as a special guest with the Toppers (ESC 2009) in the Amsterdam Johan Cruyff Arena.

Linda Martin

participated in the Irish national finals a stunning total of nine times. She performed at the Eurovision Song Contes twice, both times with a Johnny Logan song. In 1984 she became the runner up with ‘Terminal Three’, in 1992 she brought victory to her home country with ‘Why me’, a Eurovision classic. Only months ago she released an album with new versions of both her own entries as well as other Eurovision classics.

SuRie

was a backing vocalist for Belgian Eurovision entries Loïc Nottet (2015) and Blanche (2017) before she participated as a solo artist for her own country, the United Kingdom. Her live performance at the final was disturbed by a stage invader, but she managed to finish her song in a fabulous way. Although the final result was not extremely succesful, she is greatly admired by Eurovision fans.

Imri Ziv

participated in Eurovision in 2017 with the song I feel alive, after having performed as a backing vocalist in the previous years with Nadav Guedj (2015) en Hovi Star (2016). He now performs simply as IMRI.

Hera Björk

represented Iceland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010 with her song Je ne sais quoi, which was partly in Englisch and partly in French. The year before she became second in the national final of Denmark with the song Someday. She also could be seen on the Eurovision stage as a backing vocal for the Icelandic entries in 2008, 2009 and 2015. This year Hera will participate again in the Icelandic national semifinals with the ballad Moving On. The national final will be held on March 2nd.

Eye Cue

is a pop-rock duo from North Macedonia, consisting of vocalists Bojan Trajkovski and Marija Ivanovska. The group had chart successes in their home country and won Skopje Fest in 2015. In 2018 they participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon with their song Lost and found.

Ryan O’Shaughnessy

is known in his home country Ireland as a singer-songwriter and actor. In 2012 he reached the live shows of The Voice of Ireland and in the same year he reached the final of Britain’s Got Talent, ending fifth. He represented Ireland in the Eurovison Song Contest 2018 with the song Together. Nice to know: Ryans uncle Gary O’Shaugnessy took part in Eurovision as well, in 2001, with the song Without your love.

Marga Bult (Marcha)

was already a succesful singer in her home country before performing at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1987 as the Dutch representative, as a part of the girlgroups Tulip and Babe. After Eurovision she also started a career as a presenter. Together with Eurovision-artists Maggie MacNeal and Sandra Reemer (later on replaced by Justine Pelmelay) she toured as the Dutch Diva’s. She performed as a special guest star in 2018 at the concerts by De Toppers (Eurovision 2009) in the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Unfortunately Marga could not host the show after all, as a result of physical discomfort. Singer and presenter Laura Vlasblom (former member of Frizzle Sizzle, ESC 1986) was so kind as to take her place. With just a few days of preparation she did an excellent job!
