Concert 2012 in the heart of the Portuguese Municipality of Setubal just
outside of Lisabon. Many artists from the Eurovision Song Contest 2012
took part such as Joan Franka (The Netherlands), SINPLUS (Switzerland),
Ott Lepland (Estonia) just to mention a few but as well as two Winners
of the Eurovision Song Contest were there namely Katrina of Katrina and the Waves who performed her winning entry from 1997 "Love shine a light" and also her international chart success from 1984 "Walking on Sunshine". The second Winner of Eurovision present during the show was Niamh Kavanagh from
Ireland who won in 1993 with the song "In your eyes". She was a repeat offender in returning to the Eurovision stage for a second time with the great "It's for you" in 2010. The Team of Radio

extremely happy to share with the listeners and viewers the interview with Niamh Kavanagh during this week's
edition of Radio International. At this point Radio International would
