The Music Machine is in Eurovision Heaven!

Hi everyone

I'm back for another edition of the Music Machine this Saturday at 7 PM UK time. It's our annual Eurovision special!

The Eurovision Song Contest is an international song competition held primarily among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio, then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the winner. At least 50 countries are eligible to compete and since 2015, Australia has been allowed as a guest entrant.
Winning the Eurovision Song Contest often provides a short-term career boost for artists, but rarely results in long-term success. Exceptions include ABBA (winner in 1974 for Sweden), Bucks Fizz (winner in 1981 for the United Kingdom), and Celine Dion (winner in 1988 for Switzerland), all of whom launched successful careers.

Every year, the week before the contest, I play all things Eurovision. This year is a little different. I will play one or two songs as live performances from the original contests, but you will also hear some thoughts from some of the artists who have won Eurovision in the past. But most of all, it will be the songs you love from Eurovision. Get out the food, the drink, be in good voice and lets go!

If you have any Eurovision favourites, do let me know during the show. We're bound to have the song you want.

There are many ways to hear the show, including:
Our Website, www.team-fm.com/click. Load up that page and the music will begin to play!
directly from our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/TeamFMRadio,
or you can ask Alexa to Play Team Fm, and the music will begin. If you’re on the move, We’ve got you covered too. You can grab our IOS or Android app in the relevant store, by searching for Team-Fm.

I can't wait to see you on Saturday at 7 PM, right after Lulu's Planet Party, on Team-FM!
