This week was the comedown from another Eurovision Song Contest, in which the UK didn’t come last, and the music somehow still managed to be even more bewildering than the scoring system. It got me thinking though, that the many Eurovision nations (the UK included) are a bit undersold musically by this annual love-in/spite-fest (depending on your location) so this week’s Curveballs was focusing on some of these nations’ better music, from punk to electronica via classical and metal! Listen & enjoy! “Love love peace peace…”
