Welcome to the new decade. Norway joins, Luxembourg returns and the UK hosts despite not winning the previous year, which will become a bit of a trend during the 60s and 70s (and 2023).

And we’re on to 1959 - the UK comes back and never misses a contest ever again and places second, Monaco joins, Luxembourg skips the year.

Let’s go back to Eurovision 1958 - the final contest without any songs in English.

And it’s on to 1957, the first contest which we have a full recording of.

Hi, I decided to write my own reviews of every Eurovision year. My musical knowledge is rather amateurish, so everything’s going to be analysed based on how it makes me feel.
