Eurovision Song Contest 1972
|
|
The Eurovision Song Contest 1972 was the seventeenth Eurovision and was held on March 25, 1972 in Edinburgh, Scotland. With Moira Shearer as the presenter, the contest was won by Vicky Leandros who represented Luxembourg, with her song "Apres Toi".
Monaco was unable to host this year's Eurovision as they were unable to provide a venue, so the United Kingdom stepped in to host it again. For the first time, however, the BBC chose a venue outside England. Severine made the trip to Edinburgh to pass on the 'Grand Prix' to Vicky Leandros.
The Republic of Ireland's entry was in the Irish language, the only entry from that country to be in that language in the history of the Eurovision, as of 2005.
