The 21th Eurovision Song
Contest was held on 3 April 1976 at the “Congresgebouw” in The
Hague, Netherlands. Corry Brokken presented the festival and of the
18 participants Brotherhood of Man won for the United Kingdom with
"Save Your Kisses for Me".
It was the first time that
a previous winner hosted the contest. Corry Brokken won the festival
in 1957 with the song "Net als toen" ("Like it used to
be"). Liechtenstein submitted a song but as they had no
broadcasting service of their own they were not allowed to
participate. Greece's entry aroused some controversy because the song
was about the Turkish invasion of Cyprus therefore Turkey withdrew
from the contest. Sweden withdrew from the contest, as the
broadcaster Sveriges Radio (SR) did not have enough money to host
another contest if Sweden won again.
