A Eurovision mix of my favourite ESC and NF entries wouldn't feel right without Marie Myriam in it!
As those who follow the radio show, blog and my socials will know, something major has happened personally in my life over the past week. This meant that I was unable to prepare for my radio show as I normally did this week and that I knew for certain that I would not be broadcasting live. What I was able to do was quickly put together a 'Eurovision mix' of my favourite Song Contest and National Final entries, have about two minutes of me explaining what was going on at the beginning of each hour and then play as much music as possible. That totaled 37 pieces of music in the end and you can listen to it now:
And here is the playlist - more important than normal, as I didn't say who anyone was throughout this show!

I am sure you recognised all the Eurovision entries but you might have needed some help with those National Final ones! Hopefully I won't need to play it again anytime soon but I will keep it as a useful back-up just in case.
Eventually I decided to assign this show the next number on the list (284), rather than keep it as a stand alone one. Show 285 is next and it should be the standard mix of music linked to the news plus new releases, especially as we will have a complete entry to play (Slovenia) and two more artists confirmed for Malmö (Georgia and Austria). And that is assuming no one else reveals anything! I might well know only what is happening the day or so beforehand, so keep looking at the show's socials...
Fingers crossed you'll hear
