Ken presents a special show previewing tomorrow's 65th Eurovision Song Contest from Rotterdam, including a chat with the UK's entrant for this year James Newman. Ken will also hear from singer and TV presenter Edsilia Rombley, who's one of the hosts of the contest. Plus Ken also looks ahead to some of the songs tipped to score the big points in the final with broadcaster, journalist and self-confessed Eurovision super fan Paddy O'Connell, and there's a special Eurovision piano challenge with Steve Rosenberg, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Moscow Correspondent.

39 countries are taking part in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021, with Armenia withdrawing, and Belarus being disqualified, meaning they’ll miss it for the first time since debuting in 2004. The contest will take place in The Netherlands for the fifth time overall, but the first time this century, and the contest is back for the first time since 2019, following last year's postponement because of the pandemic.

Ken's also got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the record and album of the week. If you want to contact the show, just email - ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk
