UK Eurovision winners: Where are they now? From Bucks Fizz to Katrina and the Waves

Katrina and the Waves 

Katrina and the Waves was best known for 1985 Walking on Sunshine before winning Eurovision with Love, Shine A Light in 1997.

The group disbanded with lead singer Katrina Leskanich leaving the group in 1998 after disagreements with the band.

There was an attempt to revive the band by finding a new singer to replace Katrina but it wasn’t to be and they broke up the following year.

Katrina now does worldwide tours as a solo artist with plenty of new music as well as the hits.

As well as the UK winners, fans will remember Niamh Kavanagh who won the competition for Ireland with her hit In Your Eyes in 1993.

She was signed by music mogul Simon Cowell in a million-dollar deal and recorded an album in Nashville.

Kavanagh performed for a second time at Eurovision in 2010 but only came in 23rd place.

During the pandemic, she started working in a Tesco supermarket but also spends her time coaching young musicians online.

The Eurovision Song Contest 2021 final will take place on Saturday, May 22, at 8pm on BBC One.
