Eurovision Lockdown - Saturday, 06 Mar 2021, 1 - 5pmCET on Castlepoint FM with Eurovision Winner Charlotte Perrelli (Sweden 1999) in interview - PODCAST AVAILABLE NOW

Listen to this edition of Radio International - The Eurovision Lockdown

Show  |  Play List

Due to Corona Pandemic that hit the Earth in 2020 and still forces countries to a total lockdown Radio International has started the second series of the EUROVISION LOCKDOWN which are two extra live shows of Eurovision madness on Saturdays and Sundays for the time of the Corona Lockdown in the United Kingdom that started on Saturday 09 January 2021.

The Team of Radio International - The Ultimate Eurovision Experience thought of easing the tough times with two additional Eurovision radio shows on Saturdays and Sundays. The idea is to entertain the listeners and fans with lots of Eurovision music of the 66 year history of the Eurovision Song Contest plus new music the Eurovision artists have released after their performance in the contest and most of all also the music requests of the listeners and fans.

In the last series from March till June 2020 the show became popular and fans joined JP and the Radio International Team to present themed hours. We would like to continue on this in the second series.  Fans can actively take part in the show to join JP and his team in the studio via a SKYPE phone call live on air to talk about their thoughts and request their favourite song which does not need to be a Eurovision song.

The shows are live via Castlepoint FM and Run FM in the United Kingdom but available also via the Radio International Facebook Group "Eurovision Radio International" where you can find the chatroom. Below are the details and links to the broadcasts. Can't join us live? Don't worry - all the shows will be available as additional PODCASTS via our radiointernational.podbean.com channel or our Radio International Mixcloud Channel.

Join the Eurovision Fan Community listening to the shows and chat with the fans three hours every Saturday and Sunday. The Wednesday editions of the show remains the same as always.

 CONTENT OF TODAY's  SHOW

First Hour: 
THE HAPPY EUROVISION HOUR and an interview with Charlotte Perrelli:  JP will start in the first hour with some Eurovision Classics, your listener's requests and new material of Eurovision artists that have reached the Radio International Tower of Eurovision Power.  Also Eurovision Winner of 1999 for Sweden, Charlotte Perrelli (Nilsson) joins JP, Salman, Marc and John for an interview. Charlotte qualified successfully for the Grand Final of Sweden's Melodifestivalen 2021 with the song "Still Young". 

Second Hour:
MY EUROVISION TOP TWENTY: Rejoining JP in the studio via SKYPE live from Belgium is Kristof de Smet who is a huge fan of the Eurovision Song Contest. He compiled a Top Twenty of his favourite Eurovision Songs as it was very difficult to only select ten songs.:). Two weeks ago Kristof co-presents his Number 20 to his Number 11 and this week he will reveal his Eurovision Top Ten. Looking forward to this particular Eurovision Chart to come. 

Third Hour: 
EUROVISION SPOTLIGHT XXL: Sweden's Melodifestivalen with Robert Wahlstroem:  Melodifestivalen is Sweden's biggest musical event that happens every year since 1958. Robert Wahlstroem from Gothenburg in Sweden will be rejoining JP in the Studio to share some more Hidden Jams from Sweden's Melodifestivalen, following the success of last week's Part 1. If you missed last week you can always catch up with the show - click here

Fourth Hour:  

EUROVISION SPOTLIGHT XXL: My Eurovision Top Ten in the countries' languages with Matthias Breitinger: Since 1999, Eurovision decided to relax the language rule and every participating country can sing the song in any language they want. Matthias Breitinger returns to the Eurovision Lockdown today for an hour of his Top Ten Eurovision entries performed in another language than English. This should be a nice hour listening to the music and sounds from around Europe.
