One Step Further - Bardo   I'm Never Giving Up - Sweet Dreams   Love Games - Belle & The Devotions   Love Is - Vikki
Sally-Ann Triplett from Prima Donna was back and the pressure was high in a contest staged in Harrogate at the height of the Falklands War.  Sally is right now in Acorn Antiques.   This bland trio of identikit euro-pop muppets somehow managed 6th place in Munich. Most memorable for the inclusion of Fame Academy's Carrie Grant!    Booed off the stage in Luxemburg and opinion is divided as to whether it was because of English soccer hooligans in Luxemburg or because the backing singers mimed.    Perfectly coiffeured Vikki Watson won Song For Europe with this stop-start pop confection and attained a very respectable 4th in a strong contest in Gothenburg.

Runner In The Night - Ryder   Only The Night - Rikki    Go - Scott Fitzgerald   Why Do I Always Get It Wrong - Live Report
Ryder was basically  a vehicle for the lead singer Maynard Williams, the son of  TV actor Bill Maynard. After the demise of Ryder, he enjoyed success in stage musicals.   Scottish taxi-driver took to the Eurovision stage with a tartan sash but sadly only succeeded in succeeding compatriot Kenneth McKellar as the UK's lowest scorer to date     Scott had a Europe wide hit with Yvonne Keeley in the 70s, "If I Had Words".  His Eurosong finished one point behind Celine Dion. It's fair to day that their careers diverged at this point.     Maybe the least pretty entrants ever, these guys made it to Eurovision and almost won thanks to a good song and great vocals. Lead Ray Caruana later tried to sing for Malta.
