Eurovision 1970: Saint Dana of Eurovision | Song super cut and animated scoreboard
An edited down version of the Eurovision Song Contest 1970 from Amsterdam, with a scoreboard using today’s technology. This all started as a lockdown project!
This edit will give a flavour of the evening (Saturday 21 March, 10pm UK time) with a mixture of commentary from RTÉ and firstly, NOS.
Of course, one of the requirements of sainthood is to perform a miracle, and in Amsterdam we got one. Or more importantly, in the weeks and months following the Contest where ‘All Kinds of Everything’ sold remarkably well and became a top 10 hit across Europe. Why did we we need a miracle? Following 1969’s four-way tie, the Contest was widely criticised. The decision appeared to have prompted several countries to boycott this year, meaning the Contest opened with the lowest number of countries since...

1970 Ireland: Dana - All Kinds Of Everything (1st place at Eurovision Song Contest in Amsterdam)
ESC 1970 - Ireland
Performed by: Dana
Music by: Derry Lindsay, Jackie Smith
Lyrics by: Derry Lindsay, Jackie Smith
Conductor: Dolf van der Linden
Language: English
Placing: 1st (32 points)
"All Kinds of Everything" is a song written by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith; as performed by Dana, it won the Eurovision Song Contest 1970. "All Kinds of Everything" represented a return to the ballad form from the more energetic performances which had dominated Eurovision the previous years. Dana sings about all the things which remind her of her sweetheart (such as wishing-wells, wedding bells and an early morning dew) with the admission at the end of every verse that "all kinds of everything remind me of you". The recording by Dana became an international hit.
Dana had competed in the 1969 I...

The Eurovision Song Contest 1970 was the 15th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Amsterdam, Netherlands and was held at the RAI Congrescentrum on Saturday 21 March 1970. The show was hosted by Willy Dobbe.
Due to there being four winners in the previous contest, a question was raised as to which nation would host the 1970 contest. With the UK having hosted in 1968 and Spain in 1969, only France and Netherlands were in consideration. A toss of a coin resulted in the host country being decided as the Netherlands.
Twelve countries participated in the contest. It was the lowest number of participants since the 1959 edition. Finland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and Austria did not participate in 1970 in protest of the four-way tie result of 1969.
The winner was Ireland with the song "All Kinds of Everything", performed by Dana, and written/composed by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith. This was Ireland's first victory in the contest. The United Kingdom finished in second place for the seventh time, while Germany ended up in third place - the best result for the country at the time. This was also the only time that Luxembourg received 'nul points'.
The Dutch producers were forced to pad out the show as only 12 nations decided to make the trip to Amsterdam. The result was a format which has endured almost to the present day. An extended opening sequence (filmed in Amsterdam) set the scene, while every entry was introduced by a short video 'postcard' featuring each of the participating artists, ostensibly in their own nation. However, the 'postcards' for Switzerland, Luxembourg and Monaco were all filmed on location in Paris (as was the French postcard). The long introduction film (over four minutes long) was followed by what probably is one of the shortest ever introductions by any presenter. Willy Dobbe only welcomed the viewers in English, French and Dutch, finishing her introduction after only 24 seconds. On screen captions introduced each entry, with the song titles listed all in lower case and the names of the artist and composers/authors all in capitals.
The set design was devised by Roland de Groot; a simple design was composed of a number of curved horizontal bars and silver baubles which could be moved in a variety of different ways.
To avoid an incident like in 1969, a tie rule was created. It stated that, if two or more songs gained the same number of votes and were tied for first place, each song would have to be performed again. After which each national jury (other than the juries of the countries concerned) would have a show of hands of which they thought was the best. If the countries tied again, then they would share first place.
In the run-up to the Contest, the United Kingdom were favourites to win and also the favourite with the 50-piece orchestra. So sure of victory, the UK delegation had organised a winner's party to be thrown after the contest In the end, the only two countries in the running were the UK and Ireland, albeit the latter holding the lead throughout the voting. Ireland took the victory with 32 points, 6 points ahead of the UK, with Germany a distant third. Luxembourg failed to score any points at all - their only time ever to do so.
Ireland won the contest with "All Kinds of Everything", penned by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith, and sung by another unknown, Dana, an 18-year-old schoolgirl from Derry, Northern Ireland. Scottish songwriter Bill Martin, who was responsible for the winning song's publishing, has on numerous subsequent occasions claimed that he and his song writing partner Phil Coulter (the team behind both Puppet on a String and Congratulations) actually wrote the song themselves, but were prevented from using their names on the credit.

An edited down version of the Eurovision Song Contest 1970 from Amsterdam, with a scoreboard using today’s technology. This all started as a lockdown project!
This edit will give a flavour of the evening (Saturday 21 March, 10pm UK time) with a mixture of commentary from RTÉ and firstly, NOS.
Of course, one of the requirements of sainthood is to perform a miracle, and in Amsterdam we got one. Or more importantly, in the weeks and months following the Contest where ‘All Kinds of Everything’ sold remarkably well and became a top 10 hit across Europe. Why did we we need a miracle? Following 1969’s four-way tie, the Contest was widely criticised. The decision appeared to have prompted several countries to boycott this year, meaning the Contest opened with the lowest number of countries since 1959.
As @riva1958allan’s research notes, the tied result was only really a totem pole issue on which to hang Scandinavia’s disquiet about language rules in the Contest. The abstentions were mainly from Scandinavia, and with Denmark already out, that bloc was reduced to zero. Additionally, Portugal didn’t return, although andtheconductoris.eu notes that RTP were unhappy with how ‘Desfolhada portuguesa’ had performed…and similarly, I wonder if ORF in Vienna had continued to stay away as they were still scratching their heads over ‘Tausend Fenster’ performance in London.
Only now were the consequences of Ingvar Wixell’s decision to sing in English in 1965 really showing through – the Scandinavian music industry was operating mainly in English, and besides, with only one win amongst the bloc, it was looking increasingly that French and English had an advantage…although we’d just had two Spanish victories, Italian had triumphed in 1964 and even a minimally German song…the language perhaps most disadvantaged in these first 25-years after World War Two, had won in 1966.
With the walkout and the voting method ‘under review’, the Contest was on shaky ground, bandaged up with television’s most potent medicine: high viewing figures.
Despite the disquiet, apparently all four winning nations entered the ballot to host in 1970. Perhaps unremarkably, the broadcaster with the longest gap since last hosting won the day: NOS (newly born from the Dutch radio and television services). If you want a clear example of how quickly television production has progressed, look at the last Dutch organised show in 1958!
Back in 58, a line up like 1970’s would have probably resulted in a Francophone victory – three of the singers were French. In the end, this was an Anglophone dominated Contest (solidifying the Scandi point of view), with two citizens of the UK going for victory. Once again, the UK had the most recognised artist, and favourite, in Welsh-born Mary Hopkin (the BBC were clearly doing the national rounds, with Lulu being Scottish and the following artist being Northern Irish).
Hopkin and all-Ireland singer, Rosemary Brown (Dana to you and me) had a similar televisual quality that made this show interesting: the feeling that the audience were picking a new star. A potent format for television through the ages, a talent show had started Hopkin’s career before she became one of the first artists signed to Apple Records (The Beatles) – she was now an establish artist of course. Dana had entered for 1969 but got through this year and was largely unknown. Singing a pleasingly ‘Sound of Music’-esque song, viewers felt they were watching something new I expect, especially when told she was a schoolgirl from a rundown part of Derry (enticingly named Bogside)– a city embroiled in The Troubles too. All miracles have a whiff of hyperbole about them of course, and Dana being nearer to her 19th birthday than school age didn’t matter - with high sales of the record, Eurovision was saved.
*DESIGN AND THE BOARD*
I’ve been looking forward to doing this board, mainly for the prominent use of typography (Futura) in the song credits and I wanted to see how this would translate into a full board. Roland de Groot’s striking stage design was the only way forward for this one, unfortunately because of the need to show the data quite clearly, I didn’t really play around with light as much as I could have done (do take note of how light is used in this show, especially around the arcs and spheres and how different each entry looks…this is very new stuff compared to what we’ve had before, now taken for granted of course). The actual board was quite un-sexy in its design, still using Futura though, but in its bold and condensed form. This Contest also has our first real logo too, and a great piece of design it is too.

1970 Ireland: Dana - All Kinds Of Everything (1st place at Eurovision Song Contest in Amsterdam)

ESC 1970 - Ireland
Performed by: Dana

Placing: 1st (32 points)
"All Kinds of Everything" is a song written by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith; as performed by Dana, it won the Eurovision Song Contest 1970. "All Kinds of Everything" represented a return to the ballad form from the more energetic performances which had dominated Eurovision the previous years. Dana sings about all the things which remind her of her sweetheart (such as wishing-wells, wedding bells and an early morning dew) with the admission at the end of every verse that "all kinds of everything remind me of you". The recording by Dana became an international hit.
Dana had competed in the 1969 Irish National Song Contest — she was a resident of Northern Ireland and citizen of the United Kingdom but it was decided that year to have the Irish entry in Eurovision represent the island of Ireland in its entirety rather than just the Republic of Ireland. Although in 1970 the Irish Eurovision entry reverted to representing the Republic of Ireland only, Dana had made such a favorable impression in the previous year's Irish National Song Contest - her performance of "Look Around" had come second - that the contest's producer Tom McGrath invited her to participate again singing "All Kinds of Everything," a composition by Derry Lindsay and Jackie Smith, two twenty-eight-year-old amateur songwriters who worked as compositors for a Dublin newspaper.
Dana's performance of "All Kinds of Everything" won the 1970 Irish National Song Contest and that 21 March - a Saturday - she performed the song at the Eurovision Song Contest held in Amsterdam. Dana was the twelfth and final performer on the night (following Germany's Katja Ebstein with "Wunder gibt es immer wieder"). Ireland chose not to send its own conductor to accompany Dana, so Dolf van der Linden, the renowned musical leader of the Dutch Metropole Orchestra, conducted his own orchestra for the Irish entry. Dana sang seated on a stool fashioned as a cylinder which left her feet suspended above the floor and caused her concern that she'd slide off. However Dana performed the song with the self-possession she had displayed at rehearsals, when the production team had her rise from her stool mid-performance to accommodate a set adjustment she continued singing regardless and earned a standing ovation from the orchestra.
"All Kinds of Everything" took first place in the contest with a total of 32 votes besting second place "Knock, Knock Who's There?" by Mary Hopkin by seven votes. 1970 had augured to be an off year for Eurovision with five nations boycotting the contest and an apparently predictable outcome with a victory by Hopkin or possibly Julio Iglesias (who in fact came in fourth with "Gwendolyne"). "All Kinds of Everything" was the first Eurovision win for the Republic of Ireland; six subsequent victories have made that nation Eurovision's most successful entrant. "All Kinds of Everything" was also only the second song sung in English to win Eurovision outright (the first being Sandie Shaw's "Puppet on a String", with Lulu's "Boom Bang-a-Bang" sharing first place one year previously).
The entry was politically sensitive as Dana came from Derry in Northern Ireland, yet was representing Ireland, not the United Kingdom. At this time The Troubles in Northern Ireland were erupting, and some people found political symbolism of a Northern Irishwoman representing the Republic.The United Kingdom's entry the following year, held in Dublin, was sung by Clodagh Rodgers, who was also from Northern Ireland. She received death threats from the IRA as a result of her appearing for the UK. Following her victory Dana returned to Derry and sang her victorious song to a crowd of cheering wellwishers from a balcony in the city.
The 1997 play A Skull in Connemara by Martin McDonagh uses Dana's "All Kinds of Everything" incongruously: the record plays during a scene in which three skulls are smashed to powder with hammers.
A faster, 8-bit version of "All Kinds of Everything" is featured in the video games Magic Jewelry and Brush Roller.
Sinéad O'Connor and Terry Hall recorded "All Kinds of Everything" for the 1998 album A Song For Eurotrash; the track was also featured on O'Connor's 2005 release Collaborations.
A German rendering of "All Kinds of Everything": "Alles Und Noch Viel Mehr", was a German hit at #26 for Manuela in 1970: Manuela also recorded the song in its original English for her 1971 album Songs of Love. Other non-English renderings of "All Kinds of Everything" have been recorded by Willeke Alberti (Dutch: "Duizenden dingetjes"), Cristina (Spanish: "Todas los cosas") and Angela Similea (Romanian: "Dacă Visezi Cumva"). Singaporean vocalist Rita Chao recorded the Japanese rendering as the title cut for a 1970 album release.
