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.

Radio International visiting J'aime la Vlie - Dutch Wadden Island Vlieland - a Eurovision Island for a weekend


The Dutch Wadden Island Vlieland became the scene for a fantastic Eurovision Weekend when national and international Eurovision artists and fans gathered for the event "J'aime la Vlie". The idea for the event is based of the Berlin Eurovision Weekend in Germany when Dutch Eurovision representative Esther Hart was Star Guest in Berlin at the 2016 edition. While back in the Netherlands Esther talked to some friends and see if this would be possible to do and hence Dutch Eurovision event "J'aime la Vlie" was born and organised by Esther Hart, Judith Olthuis and the Team of OGAE Nederland.

The first edition of "J'aime la Vlie" took place Friday 30 June 2017 till Sunday 02 July 2017 with a concerts, trips and tours across the island and meeting Eurovision friends and locals. The guest list included Eurovision performers Lenny Kuhr (Eurovision Winner 1969, Netherlands), Glen Vella (Malta 2011), Tom Dice (Belgium 2010), Lisa Angell (France 2015), Aarzemnieki (Latvia 2014) and Esther Hart (Netherlands 2003).

Also Watch a video produced by Jan Demulder which sums up this very nice warm-hearted Eurovision Weekend on Vlieland and we are looking forward to the 2018 edition of "J'aime la Vlie". Thank you.
