My own favourite UK entry.... Ever.
ISTR we were bridesmaid yet again that year.
Actually, just watching this reminded me that each act in Eurovision had its own conductor who would take the musical helm, so to speak. Does that still happen now? I don't think it does. Is there even an orchestra? They probably sing along to a backing track.
Anyway, older CUKers will instantly recognise the conductor in this clip as it's none other than Ronnie Hazlehurst - probably the best ever conductor/arranger of the light entertainment genre with the exception of the late, great Geoff Love.
