The Eurovision Song Contest 1995 was the 40th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Dublin, Ireland, following Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan’s win at the 1994 contest in Dublin, Ireland with the song “Rock ’n’ Roll Kids“.
It was held on 13 May 1995 in the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland. The presenter was Mary Kennedy. This year’s competition was the last with only one host until 18 years later in 2013 in Malmö, Sweden. This contest broke the chain of victories that Ireland enjoyed in 1992, 1993, and 1994. This was Ireland’s 3rd year in succession to host the contest - and to mark the 40th show, it was opened with a 4-minute retrospective showing images from the contest’s history. The Norwegian group Secret Garden[a] was the winner of this contest with the mostly instrumental song, “Nocturne“. Incidentally, Secret Garden’s violinist was Fionnuala Sherry, who is Irish.
It was Johnny Logan’s birthday that night, but according to host Kennedy, “He wouldn’t say which one!“ Nonetheless, the audience sang “Happy Birthday“ for him, assisted by the orchestra.
Heavy favourites to win the contest, according to bookmakers, were Sweden with the pop-ballad “Se på mig“ and Slovenia, presented by Darja Švajger‘s entry “Prisluhni mi”. Other countries in contention for the win were Croatia, Denmark, Israel, Spain, and the eventual winner, Norway. The winning song was something new at Eurovision in that it contained only 24 words accompanied by long violin solos. The United Kingdom contributed a modern rap number, while the previous year’s runner-up, Poland, went for something that completely contrasted with their début entry.
After the voting was completed, Norway was the winner with 148 points, followed by Spain’s “Vuelve conmigo“ with 119 points, and Sweden gaining 100 points.
