Latvia rehearsal and press conference

The Latvian group Pirates Of The Sea consists of three lead singers Aleksandra Kurusova, Jānis Vaišļa and Roberto Meloni.

During the rehearsal it seemed that not all of the props were in place, and the final visual aspects of the performance will not be clear until the dress rehearsals.

The Pirates are joined by three other backing singers.Amongst the items used on stage are antique weapons and swords, with skull and cross bones flags being waved. Rumour has it that the Pirates could be using an authentic ship steering wheel and this has been held up in customs but will be available for the next rehearsals.





Press conference

The pirates arrived in full costumes to the press conference with Pirates of The Sea playing in the background. With regards to the staging, the obvious question of what happened with the other props was raised, to which Roberto answered "Well, they considered us pirates very dangerous at the airport so we couldn't bring the items straight away!".
