Which part of the UK has performed best at Eurovision? How does London fare? 🎤
By Jonathan FaggWhen Mae Muller performs at Eurovision this year, she will join the ranks of Lulu, Cliff Richard and Sam Ryder as a solo act that has represented the UK at the contest.This is no surprise to previous entrant James Fox, who said London was "the epicentre of the music world".Since 1957, the UK has performed at Eurovision 64 times. Of those performances, 41 were by solo acts.
But it is Wales that punches above its weight. Despite making up just 5% of the UK's population, five of the UK's solo acts not born overseas are from there, 14% of the total.Your device may not support this visualisation The UK's other three victories were by bands: Katrina and the Waves, Brotherhood of Man and Bucks Fizz.
Dr Jordan said Mr Ball was "a really good example of someone who's got brilliant performance ability". Yorkshire and the Humber have the dubious honour of providing the only UK solo act to score nil points. James Newman, the third solo act born in the region, failed to score any points in 2021 with his song Embers.
But he says Mae Muller's entry, I Wrote a Song, is perfect for Eurovision. "I listened to it once, and instantly like an ear worm it's stuck in my head. and I think that's the key to this contest," he said.
