eurovision song contest 1963

The Eurovision Song Contest 1963 was the eighth Eurovision and was held on March 23, 1963 in the United Kingdom. With Katie Boyle as the presenter, the contest was won by Grethe & Jrgen Ingmann who represented Denmark, with their song "Dansevise". France had won the contest in 1962 but they handed the honour of hosting the event to the United Kingdom because they believed hosting the event twice in a short space of time was not a good idea. The same thing happened when the Netherlands won in 1959 and refused to host it in 1960. One controversial thing that happened was during the voting. After Norway announced the votes, Katie Boyle said that she could not hear them and would go back to them later, however everyone else did hear them. When Katie went back to Norway again the votes had been changed, thus changing the results.
