Johnny Logan

Much is written about “exceptional singers.” In the colorful and increasingly fast-paced music industry, many want to be “exceptional” and Johnny Logan truly is! No one else has ever managed to win the Eurovision Song Contest three times (as singer of “What’s Another Year” in 1980, as singer, lyricist, and composer of “Hold Me Now” in 1987, and as lyricist and composer of “Why Me” in 1992). Anyone who has seen him live is fascinated and amazed by the tremendous vocal qualities of this “boy,” who is as modest today as he was back in the day. Johnny Logan was born Sean Patrick Michael Sherrard in Melbourne, Australia, in 1954. Three years later, the family moved to Ireland, and from then on Sean accompanied his father on tour. He learned to play the guitar and wrote his first songs at the age of 13. He was not very enthusiastic about his apprenticeship as an electrician and was therefore grateful when he was offered the lead role in an Irish musical. Shortly afterwards, he was discovered by composer and filmmaker Shay Healy and sang his composition “What’s Another Year” in 1980. So, Johnny Logan definitely is much more than a Eurovision icon.

Waldi & Wolf

The two judicial DJs, Waldi & Wolf, regularly host the legendary Justizclubbing.

What began in the spring of 2004 with around 400 guests in the Justiztower has now grown to an impressive 24,000 members—and counting! After a brief interlude at the historic Justizpalast, Waldi & Wolf became an institution at Vienna’s Volksgarten for ten years before moving their event to Albertinapassage.

The Justizclubbing family consists of young and young-at-heart academics, as well as legal professionals from law firms and corporate legal departments.

Musically, Waldi & Wolf take their audience on a delightful journey—from ABBA to The Killers, from David Guetta to Robbie Williams—and they are set to rock the Forum at the Juristenball!
