episode 84 - Eurovision: UK in the 70's. Coco ('78) and the New Seekers ('72)

In which I sing along with two Eurovision entries.  I'm no singer, but let's say the result is charming/endearing.  I believe that the years 1971 - 1981 were the apotheosis of Eurovision at least as far as entries from the UK. I see many similarities between the 1978 entry from Coco ( Bad Old Days) and the 1972 entry from The New Seekers ( Beg Steal or Borrow).  I was old enough in 1978 to remember the entry, not quite yet aware in 1972.

Listen to "Eurovision study- UK in the 70s ( Coco and The New Seekers) - 6:6:20, 12.37 PM" on Spreaker.

episode 83: dream job - Eurovision Orchestra director

Listen to "83: dream job - Eurovision orchestra director" on Spreaker.

As a child I longed to be called up as the music director for the United Kingdon song entry to Eurovision. Eurovision no longer has an orchestra and my chance to live the dream is long gone.
