Cheryl Baker picks the Tracks of My Years

Cheryl Baker picks her Tracks of My Years from the Eurovision Song Contest with songs from Sandie Shaw and Loreen. Plus Ken has another round of PopMaster.

Cheryl Baker picks her Tracks of My Years from the Eurovision Song Contest with songs from Sandie Shaw and Loreen. Cheryl won the competition with Bucks Fizz in 1981 with the song Making Your Mind Up. Cheryl had previously performed in the Eurovision final with the band CoCo and the song The Bad Old Days in 1978 where they reached 11th place. At the time this was one of the UK's worst results. Bucks Fizz went on to have three UK number one singles with Making Your Mind Up, The Land of Make Believe and My Camera Never Lies. They also had three top 20 albums, sold millions of records and became one of the biggest bands of the 1980s. This interview was first broadcast in 2014.

41 countries are taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019, with Bulgaria absent for the first time since 2015 and Ukraine also pulling out. The contest will take place in Israel for the third time; they have previously hosted the event in 1979 and 1999. They declined to host the competition in 1980 after winning for a second time in a row. In 2018, Netta won the final with her song 鈥楾oy鈥� in Lisbon, Portugal. Michael Rice is the UK entry to the competition this year performing his song, Bigger Than Us.

Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the record and album of the week.
