A Song For Europe '95
The selection for the UK's entry took place on Friday 31 March 1995 in A Song For Europe '95, hosted, as ever, by Terry Wogan. After three years of having one act perform all the nominated songs, the UK national round for 1995 reverted to a multi-artist format which remained in place until 2010 (from 2011 to 2015, the BBC internally selected their performer and song).
The songs were previewed during a Top of the Pops Song for Europe Special broadcast on BBC1 on 24 March 1995.
A separate results show was broadcast on BBC1 the same evening. BBC Radio 2 simulcast the final, with commentary by Ken Bruce, but did not broadcast the results show.
Each song was introduced by a 'supporter' who championed the song: Tony Mortimer, Bruno Brookes, Ian Dury, Let Loose, Scarlet, Cheryl Baker, Mike Read and Jonathan King.
The UK public decided on the winning song, and the results were as follows:
