UK Shines Like A Diamond: 60 Years at Eurovision

This year marks the UK’s 60th entry in Eurovision and we wanted to celebrate!

Join Michael, Mark and Brett as they take a very quick trip down memory lane with some of the UK’s most memorable (and some ‘Oh that one’) songs since their very first in 1957.
