In our contest stories

Lines about Luxembourg from our story of each contest. Follow a link for the rest of that night.

  • 1956 Fourteen songs

    Seven broadcasters entered: Belgium, France, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

  • 1956 Fourteen songs

    Two singers, Switzerland's Lys Assia and Luxembourg's Michèle Arnaud, sang both of their country's entries themselves.

  • 1961 The result

    Luxembourg won for the first time.

  • 1962

    Luxembourg hosted for the first time in 1962, in the Grand Auditorium of the Villa Louvigny, its broadcaster's headquarters in the city's municipal park.

  • 1965 France Gall's week

    Luxembourg's entry was "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", written by Serge Gainsbourg and sung by the French teenager France Gall — at seventeen, the youngest performer that year.

  • 1965 The result

    Luxembourg won with 32 points, six clear of the United Kingdom's Kathy Kirby, who had been the favourite.

  • 1966

    Luxembourg hosted again in 1966, back at the Villa Louvigny with the same production team that had run the 1962 contest there.

  • 1970 Filling the time

    Apparently, because the postcards for Switzerland, Luxembourg and Monaco were all shot in Paris, along with the French one.

  • 1972 The same eighteen

    Vicky Leandros returned for Luxembourg, five years after "L'amour est bleu".

  • 1972 The result

    Vicky Leandros won for Luxembourg with "Après toi", on 128 votes.

  • 1973

    Luxembourg hosted for the third time, in the Nouveau Théâtre, a nine-year-old arts venue whose 800 seats were cut by about a hundred to fit the equipment in.

  • 1973 Israel, and the security

    The contest came only months after the attack on the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics, and Luxembourg took no chances.

  • 1983 The favourite nobody in the hall wanted

    The press had made Luxembourg's entry the favourite.

  • 1983 The favourite nobody in the hall wanted

    During the voting there was laughter each time a spokesperson named Luxembourg, and booing when the big scores came in.

  • 1984

    Luxembourg had won five times and, by 1984, was running out of places to put the contest.

  • 1984 The booing

    English football fans had caused trouble in Luxembourg during the qualifying matches for that year's European Championship.
