Beginning The Fifties The Sixties |
The
Eurovision Song contest began at the Teatro Kursaal, Lugano,
Switzerland, on Thursday 24th May 1956, the realisation of a
concept by Frenchman Marcel Baison, and has since produced
many British chart hits and career boosts both for the
British entries and continental winners. There were only
seven entrants in the first competition, each presenting two
songs, all but two countries using two different performers.
The U.K. was surprisingly not represented in that contest,
but has competed each year since. |
