At the Eurovision Song Contest 1994, Ireland triumphed: Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigan beat the assembled competition of Europe with the song “Rock ’n’ Roll Kids” and lifted the coveted trophy. The interval of this show gave “Riverdance” its global breakthrough. The ESC is the biggest music competition in the world and one of the longest-running television shows of all time; it has been held every single year since 1956. Each participating country sends one entry into the race, and at the end of the night juries and viewers cast their votes: the famous “points” (from one up to the legendary “twelve points”) decide victory or defeat. The contest is far more than just music: it is a colourful festival of nations, full of flamboyant costumes, big emotions and fans cheering in front of their screens. By tradition the winning country hosts the contest the following year before an audience of millions. Learn the year, country, performer and winning song of this 1994 entry and dive into a piece of European music history.
