Jemini booked for festival

Jemini were widely ridiculed after the result
UK Eurovision flops Jemini has been booked to appear at the Guilfest festival in July to perform in front of 15,000 fans.

Gemma Abbey and Chris Cromby received nul points from Eurovision judges at the contest last month.

Promoter Tony Scott said Gemma Abbey and Chris Cromby were now a "legendary" act despite finishing bottom in the contest in Latvia.

More than 100 bands will perform at the Guildford festival, which is in its 12th year, including Madness, Alice Cooper, the Stranglers and Atomic Kitten.

BBC Radio 2 will be broadcasting live from the festival.

"I thought they would be an interesting addition to the bill - and it gives them a good opportunity to show people what they can really do," said Mr Scott.

The duo, the first UK act to fail to receive points, made number 15 in the singles chart, a week after their infamous performance.
