Linda Martin
from Eurovision Legends
Season 3 of the podcasts kicks off with Eurovision royalty, lady Linda Martin, who beside her victory and second place in Eurovision have competed in the Irish national final an additional seven times, many of them with her band Chips in the 1970's. After making her first appearance in Eurovision 1984 with "Terminal 3", a song that was premiered on Irish TV in a very peculiar setting, her runner-up position was still not quite enough for her. She continued to be one of the most determined artists to reach that Eurovision victory, not least since Johnny Logan gave her a promise to one day write her a winning song. Linda is forever grateful for what the contest has done for her and tries to give as much back as she can. We get to hear her new song and remixes of some Eurovision classics, stories from Luxembourg and Malmö and about the collaboration with Johnny Logan and several artists' brothers. Linda also outs herself as a great animal lover who has many rescue dogs at home, but tells us about the time when the animal line was crossed by Jedward's bunnies.
