Live Interview with Boggie (Hungary 2015): It was the year 2015 when Hungary was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria by a young lady called Boglárka Csemer better known as Boggie. The song "Wars for nothing" came 20th after successfully qualifying for the Grand Final out of Semi Final 1. It's become rather quiet around Boggie for the Eurovision fans, the more we are happy to welcome the singer to this week's edition of Radio International - The Ultimate Eurovision Experience. Boggie has released a new album and we will be finding out the details and also how Eurovision 2015 has been treating her as well as what happened with her career over the past seven years. Boggie has released three albums and two singles throughout her career.
The Radio International Interview Team looks forward to having Boggie on the show this week.
