Duncan James & Simon Webbe back with Blue for Eurovision Song Contest

Blue boy band members Duncan James and Simon Webbe were appearing in London’s West End last year in the musicals Legally Blonde and Sister Act respectively, but they are now back together with the rest of the band to represent the UK in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest in Dusseldorf in Germany singing their new single “I Can”:

Blue have sold over 13 million records and won two Brit Awards. They reformed at the end of last year for a series of gigs. Duncan James said the band is celebrating their 20th year together and thought participating in the annual contest seemed "a great way to mark the occasion".

A one-hour documentary, showing Blue's preparation for the Eurovision Song Contest will be broadcast on BBC1 in April. The Eurovision Song Competition will be broadcast live on BBC1 on Saturday 14th May, with commentary by Graham Norton.
