Eurovision's Last Place Earns UK Musician "Badge of Honour"
12 Sep
Summary
- Musician Sam Battle, aka Look Mum No Computer, represented the UK at Eurovision.
- He finished last but views the result as an honour and made people smile.
- Battle now calls Ramsgate home and runs a museum of obsolete technology.
Sam Battle, performing under the moniker Look Mum No Computer, represented the United Kingdom at the recent Eurovision Song Contest. His electronic pop song, 'Eins, Zwei, Drei,' secured one point, placing him at the bottom of the scoreboard. However, Battle has embraced this outcome, calling the result a "badge of honour" and expressing that the experience was a fast-paced blur. He noted that many people enjoyed his performance, bringing him satisfaction in having made them smile.
Originally from Yaxley, Battle has lived in Ramsgate for the past eight years and considers it his home. He is actively involved with 'This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete' in Ramsgate, a unique venue showcasing experimental and obsolete technology. The collection, amassed from car boot sales and online finds, features items like a 'Furby organ' and a 1960s telephone exchange. Battle humorously describes himself as a hoarder who has found justification as a professional curator through the museum.
With Eurovision behind him, Battle is already focused on future creative endeavors. Among his upcoming projects is an ambitious "fire organ tractor trailer," essentially an organ that emits flames, mounted on a lawnmower. He plans to incorporate his Eurovision song into his upcoming performance at the Ramsgate Festival of Sound.
