Yeh i am back roasted and toasted and amazed that no one not even Liamo or Trisha or Dee or anyone for that matter could come up with the answer.Here it is again what Irish Eurovision artist replaced their Eurovision entry in the Irish charts with another Eurovision song from the same contest.When you think that quiet a lot of our entries had just the odd hit ok the big ones like Dickie etc has lots but some never had a follow up never mind a hit again but this one had a few hits.Must go now as i want to play that all important record. Shocked Shocked Shocked

Oh! So you're back then TP!...That question has to be one of the most irritating of them all  Angry.
I'm going to have another go at it & suggest Tina Reynolds in '74....

OK here is the title of the follow up which was a  Dutch song and yes i did have to look this one up.  Als Het Om De Liefde Gaat. Both songs were massive hits.  Undecided Undecided Undecided

That Dutch song - which by the way, came 4th, was in 1972 & Sandie Jones was the Irish entry that year...Luxembourg won it ( Vicky Leandros)...

Well about time too yes Sandie Jones was our entry in 72 with Ceol An Ghra which went on to top the Irish charts and no doubt while at the Eurovision someone liked the Dutch entry and when Sandra and Andres recorded an English version Sandie along with Joe and The Dixes covered it and it too also topped the Irish charts under the English title What Do I Do.Both on the Play label Play 20 and Play 21.Naturally i could not say they both topped the charts or that it was a female but we got a good bit of milage out of it and giving the Dutch title i knew the end was near and so i faced my final curtain.Regrets i,ve had a few and i am going now to get ready and have a few more. Holidays nearly over.Grin Grin Grin

Another Eurovision Quickie and no hints.Back in 57 the UK entered the Eurovision for the first time with a song called
ALL and sung by Patricia Bredin what was so unique about this song and artist which never happened again. Lips Sealed Lips Sealed Lips Sealed

Yeh your back on song BUT while it was never recorded by Miss Bredin ( i got her version last week on cd probably from the radio but a good quality recording nevertheless ) it was recorded by two artists one the only known vocal version only released on a 78 and the other was an orchestral version released on a 45 both highly desired by Euro Heads of which i am not one but i do have a soft spot for it. The Allisons Are You Sure for the UK back in 61 is my all time favourite a kinda UK Everly Brothers but a great song.Look at some of the songs that never won yet went on to become more well known than the winners Volare / Love Is Blue / Congratulations / Walk Away Wink Wink Wink
