Live Interview with Esther Hart (The Netherlands 2003):  Radio International - The Ultimate Eurovision Experience is extremely delighted to welcome to the airwaves of Radio International - The Ultimate Eurovision Experience a Professor of Music. Esther Hart represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 in Riga, Latvia with the song "One More Night" coming 13th at the end of the voting sequence on the night. The extraordinary thing is that Esther also had submitted a song into the British Song for Eurovision selection in 2003 but then had to decide for which country she wanted to compete for. Luckily, she went for the Netherlands as she won the national final and the ticket to the Eurovision Song Contest. In the national final in the United Kingdom Esther only reached 4th place with her entry "Wait for the moment".

Esther is one of the rare Dutch artists that has kept in the spotlight over the years in the international fan community and has been invited to many fan club events across Europe. She felt that there was a lack of Eurovision events in the Netherlands so together with her friend Judith they created the event "J'aime la Vlie" which is a three day Eurovision event on the Dutch Wadden Island Vlieland. The next edition is scheduled to take place 10 - 12 September 2021. Details of the event and booking of tickets can be found at the website of J'aime la Vlie. www.jaimelavlie.nl

Radio International is extremely happy to welcome Esther back on the show live and we are looking forward to all the lovely stories that Esther can tell us during her Eurovision career.

Listeners are encouraged to actively take part during the show to submit their questions to the artist via our Facebook Chatroom during the live broadcast on Wednesday evening from 1900 - 2300 hours CET or via our website's email address - click here.

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.
