Although it's about the pop stars of the 1980s Paul Simper's book begins in 1972 with a chapter titled 'Eve Graham's Toast Rack' in which he recalls the Eurovision Song Contest of that year. "The New Seekers had it in the bag... Singing so sunnily, so winningly (that moment when Lyn Paul crinkles her nose adorably) and ending with a look so triumphant that even though there were thirteen more acts to be heard, I was already anticipating their glorious air-punching moment of victory."

Television's
Strangest Moments
Television's Strangest Moments: Extraordinary But True Tales from the History of TV
A compendium of strange but true tales from television's history. The entry for the Eurovision Song Contest (pages 29-30) recalls, among other Eurovision mishaps, the UK's Song For Europe contest of 1977. The show was scuppered by a strike, forcing it to be broadcast only on the radio, and was hampered by "some confusion between the entries by Lynsey de Paul (and Mike Moran) and one-time New Seeker, Lyn Paul" (page 30). This was not the first time their names had been confused! < Previous page | Next page > |
