About this episode

After entertaining Europe during the interval of the second semi of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest, Australia was invited to celebrate 60 years of the contest as a special entrant in 2015.

Ten years since this ‘one off’, we’re still going strong.

  • Hear Voyager’s opinion about Aussie rock
  • Find out what former Head of Delegation, Josh Martin, hoped for the future of Australia at Eurovision

And of course, listen to that magical interval number from Jess Mauboy.
