Cumbia from Colombia, Maloya from Réunion, Korean Pansori, Metal from Mongolia.

But it’s not all strange and obscure.

Pop and dance music from Spain to Brazil, Portugal to Paraguay are included. There’s Irish folk, US Americana, Scots folk-rock and traditional and modern music from England and Wales. There’s fiddle music from Nordic countries and Australian indie.

This FREE weekly one hour programme, designed to celebrate the music of Eurovision past and present, has been growing for more than three years and is a welcome addition to the schedules of more than 150 stations. It’s an upbeat, feel good show that sits nicely at the weekend, but can also provide some specialist entertainment during the week.

There are regular features, listener involvement, the latest news each week from the Song Contest World in an "Entertainment News" style package, plus we showcase brand new music from past Eurovision artists – with many of them dropping in to chat!
