All Request Happy Easter:
And how to celebrate Easter on Eurovision Radio International? Well
easy - JP gathers all the many requests that listeners submitted to
Radio International over the past weeks. These are the requests for
which was no time for during the regular shows of Radio International.
And to put things right and what better way to celebrate Easter with
your favourite Eurovision music than listening to Radio International
this week. It is a rather pure music show this week as most of the Radio
International Team has taken this week off to recharge their batteries
for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest and pre-view events. So no
Eurovision News, Interviews and Eurovision Spotlight this week. Also
David Mann takes a week break with his special slot of Eurovision
Covers. All that returns next week as Radio International reverts back
to the normal format on 10 April 2013 with Malta's Scar, Portugals
Filipa Souza & Gerson Santos and Rene Romkes from
