Most of the show this week will be devoted to the 5th edition of the
Eurovision Weekend Berlin which happened last weekend in the city centre
of Berlin, Germany. This year the partnering country were the
Netherlands and the organisers invited two huge Eurovision stars from
the Netherlands out of which one was Sandra Reemer who
represented the Netherlands three times at the Eurovision Song Contest.
In 1972 with "Als het om de liefte gaat" with Andres coming fourth. Then in 1976 Sandra represented the Kingdom of the Netherlands with "The Party is over now" coming nineth and in 1979 she reached Number 12 with "Colorado" as Xandra. In 1983, Sandra Reemer was the backing vocalist when Bernadette represented the Netherlands with the song "Sing me a song"
that reached Number 7 in Munich, Germany. Sandra was also a member of
the Dutch Divas which as a trio enjoyed successes together with Maggie
McNeal (1980) and Marga Bult (Marcha, 1987). She also hosted the Dutch
