The Ghosts of National Finals Past

As we wrap the 2020 Eurovision season up, the team pull out their Euro-Ouija boards to summon the ghosts of national finals from 2005 to 2013.

Michael and Io give their approval to Liam’s choices this week and we think they’ll stir some memories for you too.

Although JOYEurovision is finished on air, we’re still going socially. Join us on all the platforms, and get ready for the return of babblePOP! next week.
