Show #101

We’re back with more brand new music, this week from former winner Duncan Laurence. We also head to Scandinavia for our National Triple Play, reward another listener with the official 2021 CD for picking their fan favourite, and catch up on this weeks Eurovision news…

Norway has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 60 times since making its debut in 1960. It has only been absent twice since then. In 1970, the country boycotted the contest over disagreements about the voting structure, and in 2002, they were relegated. The contest is broadcast in Norway by NRK, which also broadcasts Norway’s national selection competition, Melodi Grand Prix. Norway’s three victories in the contest were achieved by Bobbysocks in 1985, Secret Garden in 1995 and Alexander Rybak in 2009.
