The United Kingdom commentary
was done by Tom Fleming, yes that's right he of royal weddings fame. Can
you imagine David Dimbleby taking Wogan's place ? As a nod to the Scottish
venue, Moira Shearer took Katie Boyle's place as compere.
There
was a great romance within the
New Seekers: The leads on 'Beg Steal Or Borrow' were sung by the then
lovebirds of Peter Doyle and Lyn Paul. Within a year romance would fizzle
out and Doyle have left the group, leaving Lyn Paul to sing lead on 'You Won't
Find Another Fool Like Me'.
Yves Dessca surrendered the
songwriting laurels to..... Yves Dessca. Both Luxemburg and Monaco brought
in foreign talent and no-one seemed to mind too much. The French Severine
swept on stage to congratulate Greek songstress Vicky Leandros. Monaco
ceased competing in 1979 and Luxemburg in 1993; Vicky Leandros has
continued to be a popular singer, especially in Germany, where she made an
unsuccessful effort to sing for them in 2006.
