Lys Assia headlines Swiss OGAE event
Lys won the 1956 edition of the contest with the chanson Refrain, and also sang Switzerland's second entry that year - the only year when each country submitted two entries. Not only that, but she returned in 1957 and 1958, achieving the runner-up position in the latter with the German-Italian Schlager Giorgio. She remains an icon of Eurovision history, and has endorsed the continuance of the contest through countless appearances at events including even subsequent Eurovision Song Contests as an audience member.
Star-studded line-up
Joining Lys in the country where Eurovision began will be Gunvor Guggisberg (Switzerland 1998), Arlette Zola (Switzerland 1982) and Katarína Hasprová, who was Slovakia's last entrant to date, singing Modlitba in 1998. There may yet be more, and fans are encouraged to check the website of OGAE Switzerland at switzerland.ogae.net for more details.
