Episode 62 - PLAY JA JA DING DONG AT THE HUSAVÍK EUROVISION MUSEUM!

Today, RÚV English talks Eurovision in what is surely the spiritual home of the contest, Husavík!

The 2020 comedy film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, co-written by and starring Will Ferrell, follows the dream of a young boy from Husavík - to win the Eurovision Song Contest.

In this big week, Darren talks to Örlygur Hnefill Örlygsson, founder of the Husavík Eurovision Museum, about the contest and the film, and what they have meant for the town. It might be Eurovision week but as Darren hears, the museum welcomes visitors all year round.

And yes - I will play Ja Ja Ding Dong.
