The composers have until January 7th to select a singer/band. The two Semi Finals will take place on February 1st & 2nd 2014 with the Big Final show on February 22nd.
PeR represtented Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest with “Here we go” in 2013 but failed to qualify for the Finals. As a matter of fact, since 2009 Latvia never made it out of the Semi Final Bottom 3. We are wishing them the best of luck and hope for a better result this time around.

There are some properly cracking songs here. A bit early, but I dare say they will be scoring highly….
