27 years ago today 🇸🇪 Sweden won the 44th #Eurovision in Jerusalem with Charlotte Nilsson (Perrelli) and “Take Me To Your Heaven”. The orchestra was no more from 1999, replaced by backing tracks and countries were free to choose which language to sing in

29 May is the latest date of the year the #Eurovision Grand Final has ever been held, in both 1999 and 2010. As they’ve been posted I conclude my tweets marking all contests past for another year.

The next ESC anniversary, the 70th anniversary of 1957, will be 3 March 2027 ♥️
