More information
Biography
Linda Martin appears here for the first time in the Eurovision Song Contest.
Sean Sherrard (born in Australia) of course is Johnny Logan, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980 for Ireland with What's Another Year. Soon after the Eurovision Song Contest problems started for Johnny however, as he was cheated by several parties. A dark period started for Johnny, including personal problems. But there was light at the end of the tunnel, when he returned as a composer/lyricist to the Eurovision Song Contest in 1984 with Linda Martin's Terminal '3'. His first composition to be in the Eurovision Song Contest gained a second placing, bettered by one position in 1987 (when he wrote Hold Me Now for his own appearance) and in 1992 (when Linda Martin returned to the Eurovision stage, once again with a Johnny Logan composition, Why Me).
