At Eurovision
At the Eurovision Song Contest, Patricia Bredin delivered an operatic performance of “All”, which is still the shortest entry ever in the Eurovision Song Contest having lasted about two minutes. The song was performed third that night following Luxembourg with “Amours mortes (tant de peine)” and preceding Italy with “Corde della mia chitarra”. At the close of voting, the United Kingdom had received six points and finished seventh among the ten countries. However, the United Kingdom had received points from five of the nine other countries, which means more than half of them. It would take the United Kingdom until 1978 not to finish in the first half of the scoreboard again.
