Show Notes
As we await the New Year and Basel's year as Eurovision hosts, we go back in time to the last time Switzerland staged the contest. In this special edition of our Rewind series we hear more about the preparations for the event, Celine Dion's return to the Eurovision stage, and how the UK came close yet again. We also learn more about the two nation's making controversial Eurovision history, and how a first-time winner shocked audiences by taking the win.
A special thank you to the EBU, and Chris West's book 'Eurovision! A History of Modern Europe Through the World's Greatest Song Contest' for helping with our research for this episode.
