S03 Ep02 - Dublin 1971

Welcome back to Eurovision from A to Z! Summer is usually a period of holidays, also for Eurovision, but music never has a rest. For this episode, we count again with our friend Lukas from Austria, who talked about the pros and cons of the cities candidates to host the festival in 2026 (which finally was Vienna). Also, we talk about rumours and recent news like M. Österdahl's end of contract with EBU. We will deal with the festival held in Dublin in 1971, a year where many things happened as Javier will remember in the facts and trivia section. Didrik, Javier and Lukas will analyse the songs in this festival which supposed the return of the boycotting countries of the last editions and the debut of Malta. You will enjoy classics like Clodagh Rodgers and her "Jack-in-the-box", or music legends like Serge Lama or Massimo Ranieri. You can also listen our 1971 playlist and enjoy most of the songs of this edition.
