3 unusual facts about Lindsay Dracass


Lindsay Dracass

She was directed to Alan Kirk's recording studio, and the demos she recorded were then played to Peter Van Hooke, who signed Dracass to his production company who then, in turn, signed her to a recording contract with Universal Records.

As a 17 year old schoolgirl, she was selected through the BBC Television programme, A Song for Europe, to be the UK's entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2001, which was held at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Love Will Keep Us Alive

"Love Will Keep Us Alive" was also recorded by Capaldi and Dave Mason on their 40,000 Headman tour and live album, and by Carrack (duet with Lindsay Dracass) on his 2007 album Old, New, Borrowed and Blue.


Rules of the Eurovision Song Contest

It should also be noted that the performer only needs to be 16 when the event takes place, and not when they are selected, as proven in 2001 and 2005 when Lindsay Dracass and Triinu Kivilaan respectively were selected to represent United Kingdom and Switzerland, despite only being 15 at the time.
