Nothing wrong with the music at my local hairdresser

This is Eurocr*p though - an altogether different league of schmaltz.

Its not just me that gets abuse about a eurovision question then.

Sadly i possibly know the answer as its partially linked to the question i set a few weeks ago.

No

 

[Navcorr]

Perhaps the winning person / act wasn't born in the Country represented??

Nope

 

[allandwf]

Hosting country won?

 

[zagatoes30]

Hosting country won?

Nope but it is related to the hosting country

 

[spkennyuk]

If i answer is what i think it is then it applied to 1974 as well. You have given a big clue above so i will let it run.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Think I've got it, the host country wasn't the winner from the year before.

 

[zagatoes30]

Correct, the previous winners weren't prepared to stand the cost, so others stepped in normally Britain in fact now if a winning country refuses to host the BBC is the the agreed backup
