Bulgaria's first ever Eurovision contestant, famous pop group Kaffe set off Thursday morning to Kiev for its participation in the grand music festival.
Admirers, friends and journalists gave hearty farewell to the boys at Sofia airport, wishing them luck and successful performance.
Kaffe's Orlin Pavlov (vocals), Georgi Yanev (guitar), Milen Kukosharov (keyboard), Valery Tzenkov (drums), Martin Tashev (trumpet) and Veselin Veselinov-Eko (bass guitar) set off to Ukraine with a flight to Vienna amid bunches of flowers, balloons and brass music.
"We believe it is our job to go to Kiev and stage a high-quality performance," the boys said.
The semi-finals of Eurovision 2005, celebrating half centenary, will take place May 19 in Kiev.
The English-versed song "Lorraine", with which Kaffe will represent Bulgaria in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest, has already been performed at nine concerts across Europe where thousands of fans heard live from the Bulgarian marvels.
