Many people had believed that Sandie had retired from music altogether. However in an interview with Alan Titchmarsh, Sandie explains that she has retired from her musical past in order to focus on a new style of music and sound.

Sandie Shaw was one of Britains most successful artists in the 1960’s thanks to hits like There’s always something there to remind me, Long live love and Message understood. In 1967 Sandie Shaw won the Eurovision Song Contest for the United Kingdom with the song Puppet on a string. This was the UK’s first victory, and the celebration happened in the beautiful city of Vienna where Eurovision will return for the second time next year.

Hello my name is Daniel Doyle. I am 19 years old and I live in Rushden, United Kingdom. My first Eurovision was in 2004 where I was given permission by my parents to stay up late to watch the contest. Since then I have been a hardcore fan. The first Eurovision I went to was in 2010 and I hope to go to more in the near future.
