Merry Christmas! OnEurope decides to depress the hell out of your Christmas by taking apart the 7 song 1993 Eurovision Preselection in glorious detail - I mean, how else can I sell 51 minutes of podcast for you! Grab a Mince Pie, drink some Sherry and turn up the fire as I take you down memory lane. Information, education and Entertainment.... None of those you'll find here though ;) Note - Mild Swearing and hideous singing is contained within this podcast....
** Apologies for the dodgy sound - this will be rectified next cast ** So, Phil has taken leave of his senses and has finished off 1999 before it finished him off. Who is Meg Mortimer's alter Ego? Why is Phil obsessed with ATV? Who's grinr profile needs changing? This and so many less questions will be answered in the next SIXTY SIX Minutes!
Yeah we're back with Part One of OnEurope's third review cast of the off season and this time we take ourselves back to those heady days of 1999. La'Chaim! - or something like that.
In our mammoth Second part of the 2007 Reviewcast Mr Phil, our decrepit writing team and Alexia bumble our way through the final 12 songs - giving the non qualifiers their moment in the sun. Is Phil going to call himself "Mr T" from this moment forward? Is Alexia too big for her boots? Has the writing team recovered from listening to all these songs in Helsinki for the first time? The answers to these and a significant amount of questions you'd never even asked yourself lay before you in this 61...
Oneurope's Phil Colclough is back with the first half of the OnEurope review cast for 2007. It's a long one - not a euphemism, but it's choc full of the usual mentalness!
So as promised you get the second half of Mr Phil describing the 1987 Eurovision song contest through the medium of Podcast! Listen to the cultural inappropriateness of Marcha Guffaw at the lame jokes Find out things you never thought you wanted to know about the year the Irish Jonny Logan won.... again...
And so, after a hiatus for the actual contest ( remember those?) we are back with a new OnEurope reviewcast - this time taking a look at 1987 Well, at least the first half of 1987 - there is so much to delve into that it's a two-parter. Remember to get our your hairspray and shoulder pads, dust off your Sony Walkman and take a mince with us as the first 11 songs of 1987 get the treatment!
Join Oneurope's Phil Colclough on another compilation of his internet radio smash hit (in his own head) - Three minutes in Rotterdam with reviews from days 6-8 of open rehearsals in Rotterdam
Fresh and exciting and new and smelling not at all like a pair of your old undies, Let Phil guide you through Day 5 in the big Eurovision House
1-2-3-4 you say Phil? Why yes, yes I do. This is the OnEurope radio show " Three minutes in Rotterdam" that I am producing for various internet radios around the place and, as for now, You, my webcast European children. This is a mega 12 minutes comprising the first 4 shows... Don't panic about the silence at the beginning - your webmaster in chief forgot to unmute the intro track!
For the last time in 2020 Phil goes in search of the strange and weird in his reviews of Eurovision's past. This contest may be 50 years ago, and it might only have 12 songs in it - but you'll need either an acid bath or a cold shower after you've heard some of the filth this contest had in it. Intrigued??
Another one rescued from the OnEurope Vaults ( Published in September 2019) This contest just about has everything.... Weird Scoring, A presenter almost losing the plot, a quarter of the songs winning.... What's going on? - oh just a normal 1969 thing then! *************************************************************** Originally published in September 2019 at http://www.oneurope.co.uk
Well you wanted moar so now you have it - 40 more minutes of me waffling on about the 1998 Eurovision Song Contest. Who the hell is Tönis Mägi? - Why the hell is he so popular? What's Betty Boo got to do with Eurovision? Is Imanni really from Lilliput? Have our decrepit writing team played more jokes on Phil with silly Finnish names? Go on - Take a listen!
Because 1998 is so damn flaming big with lots of massive personalities to talk about, like the Christmas edition of the radiotimes we've had to cut this one into 2 parts!! - With a commercial break! It's Europe day 1998 and most of Europe are settling down to watch the 1998 Festival of popular song, but how on earth have the first dozen or so entrants got this far?? Why is the Going for Gold theme being used for countries OTHER than Belgium? Why are Greek Composers so damn awkward and what do yo...
Originally recorded back in August 2019 - Oneurope looks back at the biggest contest to that time, 1994 and introduces you to 16 year old Phil - Somewhat Camp and learning foreign songs in a caravan! - Gay dear?
OnEurope's webmaster Phil Colclough takes you through another old and dusty Eurovision. Carola!! Nazis!! Going for Gold (again).. Mental Belgians?! Songicide?! It can only be Eurovision 1983.... can't it??!
Join OnEurope's webmaster Phil Colclough as he guides you through another historic contest. This time he jumps in the DeLorean and sets the dial to 1975 where he finds all manner of things including (but not limited to) Three versions of Ding-a-Dong The Spinners The Carpenters An old grainy 1966 photo Belgium taking a lot of trouble to do nothing in particular.

1958, then. Dear Europe, why have you sent the same song ten times! In a masochistic streak, Phil decides to regale you with tales of 1958. In this episode, he tells you about his trip to Stockholm, wonders if CO2 is actually the silent killer and has a rant about Sweden Can you afford not to listen? Probably ... but do it anyway! ------------------------ Originally broadcast on http://www.oneurope.co.uk in November 2019

Come back to the Eighties…. it was so nearly the end of days It was so nearly the end of the contest but thankfully even a perfect shitstorm of Penguins, Fingerbobs and Spanish Dullness couldn't derail the contest from going on to be the great success it is today.
