Eurovision 1964

Want to ask Richard Moore something - go for it! He is a veritable walking encyclopedia and is never happier than talking music.

Yes thank - you Robert, we have always had this (Matt even had a copy on Reel to Reel) but the holy grail of all things Eurovision is the video footage. We can't currently use the audio on anything though as getting rights from the EBU is not easy!

Rumour currently has it that NDR in Germany have at least got some excerpts , but currently I can't get to even answer and e-mail (even sent in German!) let alone confirm or deny!

The 40 or so seconds that have recently surfaced of the first performance of the winning entry certainly give us hope that it's out there somewhere (The winner's reprise captured by news reel cameras has been around for a few years too).
