Available in: gb icon flag icon
Electro Velvet are a British vocal duo that represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Still in Love with You" finishing 24th. The duo consists of Alex Larke and Bianca Nicholas.

Early beginnings

Nicholas has appeared both on The X Factor and The Voice UK. She has also sung a duet with Will Young and performed in front of Prince William, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry. Nicholas previously released the single "Hold On To Your Dreams", which entered the UK Top 100 singles chart. She also had a small role in the 1999 American film Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp. She suffers from cystic fibrosis.

Born in Welwyn Garden City, Larke is currently lead singer for The Rolling Stones tribute group The Rollin’ Clones and has toured the UK and internationally with the band. He has recently worked with Big Beat pioneer Cut La Roc on his album Larger Than Life, which also features Ice-T collaborator, Donald D and Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody. Larke works part-time in a primary school, and also teaches ukulele and recorder. In 2014 he worked in a special needs school with children and young adults with profound to severe learning difficulties.

On their official Facebook page, the duo thanked their fans for all their support during their time at Eurovision, as well as announcing "we'll be in touch soon about what we are up to next."

2015: Eurovision Song Contest

Electro Velvet were selected by the BBC to represent the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with their song "Still in Love with You". The entry was presented on 7 March 2015 via the BBC Red Button service. The song received a mixed to negative reception upon its announcement. In the Eurovision final they received 5 points and were placed 24th out of 27.

The staging of the song included two pairs of additional dancers, two of whom performed breakdance and acrobatic moves. The television production involved some Busby Berkeley-style shots from above and darkened sequences during which the performer's costumes were illuminated with integral neon strips. There were a couple of pyro effects during the song, including at the very end.
