So as promised you get the second half of Mr Phil describing the 1987 Eurovision song contest through the medium of Podcast!

Listen to the cultural inappropriateness of Marcha

Guffaw at the lame jokes

Find out things you never thought you wanted to know about the year the Irish Jonny Logan won.... again...

And so, after a hiatus for the actual contest ( remember those?) we are back with a new OnEurope reviewcast - this time taking a look at 1987

Well, at least the first half of 1987 - there is so much to delve into that it's a two-parter.  Remember to get our your hairspray and shoulder pads, dust off your Sony Walkman and take a mince with us as the first 11 songs of 1987 get the treatment!

Pre-release!

Join Oneurope's Phil Colclough on another compilation of his internet radio smash hit (in his own head) - Three minutes in Rotterdam with reviews from days 6-8 of open rehearsals in Rotterdam

Fresh and exciting and new and smelling not at all like a pair of your old undies, Let Phil guide you through Day 5 in the big Eurovision House

1-2-3-4 you say Phil?

Why yes, yes I do.   This is the OnEurope radio show " Three minutes in Rotterdam" that I am producing for various internet radios around the place and, as for now, You, my webcast European children. 

This is a mega 12 minutes comprising the first 4 shows... 

Don't panic about the silence at the beginning - your webmaster in chief forgot to unmute the intro track!

For the last time in 2020 Phil goes in search of the strange and weird in his reviews of Eurovision's past. 

This contest may be 50 years ago, and it might only have 12 songs in it - but you'll need either an acid bath or a cold shower after you've heard some of the filth this contest had in it. 

Intrigued??

Another one rescued from the OnEurope Vaults ( Published in September 2019)

This contest just about has everything....

Weird Scoring, A presenter almost losing the plot, a quarter of the songs winning....

What's going on? - oh just a normal 1969 thing then!

Well you wanted moar so now you have it - 40 more minutes of me waffling on about the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest. 

Who the hell is Tönis Mägi? - Why the hell is he so popular?

What's Betty Boo got to do with Eurovision?

Is Imanni really from Lilliput?

Have our decrepit writing team played more jokes on Phil with silly Finnish names?

Go on - Take a listen!

Because 1998 is so damn flaming big with lots of massive personalities to talk about, like the Christmas edition of the radiotimes we've had to cut this one into 2 parts!! - With a commercial break!

It's Europe day 1998 and most of Europe are settling down to watch the 1998 Festival of popular song, but how on earth have the first dozen or so entrants got this far??  Why is the Going for Gold theme being used for countries OTHER than Belgium? Why are Greek Composers so damn awkward and what do you do when you give people power?

All, some, or none of those questions will be answered shortly!
