Katrina and the Waves - Love Shine a Light

It has been 27 years since the UK won the Eurovision Song Contest with Katrina and the Waves’ ‘Love Shine a Light’.

The 1997 anthem was not Katrina and the Waves’ first success story, as their song ‘Walking on Sunshine’ had made waves 12 years prior to Eurovision.

Later, lead singer Katrina Leskanich said: “It was such a feel-good, lighters-in-the-air, cheesy number. It would have been embarrassing for it not to win. It had 'I am a winner' written all over it.”
