The group was created by songwriter and record producer Tony Hiller in 1969 and scored a worldwide hit with "United We Stand" the following year. By 1974 the line-up had changed to the quartet Brotherhood of Man would become most famous for. The group became successful in Europe, before returning to do the same in the UK. After winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1976, Brotherhood of Man enjoyed three years of hit singles and albums.
I can see it straight away ... it's impossible to miss.
Brotherhood of Man formed in 1969. 5 years before ABBA had their Eurovision hit "waterloo"
Yes, but the resemblance is uncanny. I suspect "let's win the Eurovision" makeover.
Back in the good old days of the Eurovision.
You mean when we actually watched it, because we were young, had no choice, knew no better ... or maybe because it really was worth watching in those days.
Now, if I watch it at all, I just watch the voting.

It was always worth watching, just for Sir Tels comments.
Now he's quit the Eurovision, life is meaningless.

Anyway. Aren't you Irish? The Irish have won more times than any other country, haven't they?

Ah, the redoubtable Woge-ster. A UK national treasure, even if he is Irish. We churn out so many like him that we can afford to let a few go.

Yes. Unfortunately.
Johnny Logan won it twice, but he never really went on to super-stardom, although legend has it that he was "mega in Turkey". The mind boggles ...

About me: I have prehensile eyebrows. I speak 9 languages fluently, one of which other people can also speak. When backed into a corner, I fit perfectly - having a right-angled arse.

I know someone that went to see Bernard Manning live about the time that Aled Jones sang that fucking awful snowman song. Apparently Manning said, "Have you heard that Aled Jones? Have you? Hasn't he got a lovely voice. Like a little angel. ... ... ... That little fucker's going to have a hell of a shock when his balls drop!"
And as for BOM - shit em!
