Eurostarz 2017...
British Music Experience 2023...
LET ME BE THE ONE 2023.
Finally I had the chance to interview Anjeza Shahini!
I have had the pleasure of meeting the debut singer for Albania twice before but not had the opportunity to interview Anjeza, until now. She has her new project Ani + The Cranes running now with two releases over the past month and of course her experiences of Eurovision back in 2004. All of that was spoken about in the interview that was in hour one of this week's show:

Hour one was 100% Anjeza with her interview, her Eurovision song, the FiK version and the first two tracks from Ani & The Cranes - it was great to chat with her and she helped a lot with the promotion of the show:
It was interesting to hear about her memories of Eurovision and also about her new music project with Ani + The Cranes - the chat from those listening to the live broadcast were very positive about Anjeza's new material. If you want to see and listen to more, here are some links:
I had been waiting a long time to have a proper interview with Anjeza (I had spoken with her and asked some questions back in 2017 at the Eurostarz Meet & Greet session) but waiting until she knew that Ani + The Cranes was up and running successfully was well worth it! Three interviews in three shows...
Show 253 will make that four in four! Our chat was delayed from Easter but my latest chat finally happened...
