Eurovision analyst Tom Davitt from Dublin specialises in data patterns within the song contest and says Ireland needs to change its strategy to succeed in the coming years
Tom Davitt has his own Eurovision YouTube channel
“At this time of year, pretty much every moment that I’m not in my regular job is spent on Eurovision. I have a Eurovision channel on YouTube so I’m busy making content, answering comments and tweeting about it.
For Eurovision fans like me, the event isn’t just a week in May. Our off-season runs from about June to November and then it starts picking up again in December. When the contest ends, we experience what we call PED — Post-Eurovision Depression — where we get a massive low and feel, for lack of a better word, withdrawal.
