Paul Curtis Part I
Paul Curtis is an amazing composer, who has written countless great songs that all carry that particular British pop sound. Four times it has lead him to the Eurovision, out of total of twenty attempts, but he has written several hits for other contexts as well.
He generously lets us dive deeply into both his diary and his drawers, when he openly tells us all his stories and lets us listen to the original demos of the songs that made it and those that didn't, with several never before heard tracks.
In this first episode of two, we learn that his Eurovision career was off to an amazing start when he won the British ticket in 1975 with "Let Me Be the One", and then he was hooked. Hear the stories about why he wasted a potential winner on his girlfriend who couldn't sing, about his colleague who tended to always be in the room at the right time and what he did to an audience member in Luxembourg. He also reveals that the emerging troubles in the Balkan region could be felt already when he competed in Zagreb in 1990 and lots of other interesting stories.
