Eurovision Song Contest 1993
May 15, 1993 | Millstreet, Ireland
The 1993 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Millstreet, a small town in South West Ireland, home to 1500 people, was an ambitious production for national broadcaster RTE. The 1993 contest is to date, the only competition in Ireland that has been held outside of the capital Dublin. The early 1990s were a time of massive change in Europe. These changes were reflected in the Eurovision Song Contest as newly sovereign nations took to the stage. In order to accommodate the growing number of countries eager to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, a pre-selection, Kvalifikacija za Millstreet, took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia ahead of the contest in which seven countries competed. Three countries made their respective debuts; Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia. The top two in 1993 was exactly the same as the year before; Ireland in first place, the United Kingdom in second. The Irish entry, In Your Eyes performed by Niamh Kavanagh beat the United Kingdom's Sonia on the very last vote. [eurovision.tv]

ESC History
The ECS finals are this weekend and while I’m hoping LotL will score a good place, while I hope for a fun-filled evening, there is something I want to share, to remember, that is having its 30th anniversary as well.
I might date myself, but honestly I don’t really care much. The year was 1993 and I was a kid watching Eurovision with my parents. The time came for the voting and then this happened:

I was young and didn’t understand it at that time, but by now I know that the band from Bosnia are without doubt, the biggest badasses to ever. Because they were from Sarajevo, a city under siege for almost 10 months at that time, because they had to break out of the city to fly to Ireland and compete (their conductor? Yeah he was unable to come because the frontline had shifted and the corridor the band had used was no longer usable. The band had to borrow an Irish conductor).
This band was singing in Bosnian, they gained 27 points which earned them the 16th place, and then they went back... to Sarajevo, a city under siege until early 1996.
This was their  song:

1993 Millstreet - Number 11 - Ruth Jacott - "Vrede"
youtube
Ruth's back! This time with Vrede (Peace), the song that won the Nationaal Songfestival song selection and went to Eurovision in Millstreet. This song finished 6th, a creditable performance - although many think it should have done even better. It's a well-written, slightly humorous song celebrating a host of engineering achievements contrasted with the lack of effort and results in realm of world peace. Yes another peace song in 1993.
It has a a relatively contemporary if conventional club beat and some dramatic horns to start and a little interlude of scratching noises before the bridge. Ruth delivers her message wearing some astonishingly flare black trousers as well low cut jacket with an absolutely massive collar and lapel. She knows her camera angles and there's choreographed hand-ography. And boy can she belt. She's a stellar performer, perhaps only beaten by one other on the night in terms of song delivery.
I went into Ruth's future career in the previous blog and she's now the first artist to have appeared twice in my top 26s, helped there by taking part in a song selection national final.
