RTE Eurovision documentary series airs tonight
RTE broadcast the first in a six part documentary series on Irish Eurovision winners tonight by profiling Dana, Ireland’s first Eurovision winner back in 1970. After winning the contest, Dana became something of a national treasure. She has released over thirty singles and an astonishing thirty albums in her career; including the rather dubiously titled “In the Palm of His Hand” in 1987. Her last album was 2007′s “Good Morning Jesus!”
Dana has also dipped into politics, contesting the 1997 Irish Presidential election and even becomming an MEP, but these days she’s a well-known judge on the All-Irealnd Talent Show (Britain’s Got Talent on a much more “rural” scale).
The show airs Tuesdays on RTE 1 at 7:30pm.
