Ireland's three-time Eurovision winner Johnny Logan has hinted at a possible return to the contest - but only if the circumstances are right.
Speaking on the Nicky Byrne HQ podcast, Logan, the only artist to win Eurovision three times - twice as a performer (What’s Another Year in 1980, Hold Me Now in 1987) and once as a songwriter (Why Me? for Linda Martin in 1992) - spoke openly about the idea of returning.
"I’ve thought about it different times," he said. "But I’m 71 now and really happy with the music I’m making. It’s not Eurovision or pop-based, more New Orleans swing and rock, with big ballads that have evolved."
Logan explained that Eurovision demands total involvement, which can be exhausting. "It takes up so much private time - the production, the presentation. If working with someone else singing, it takes twice as long because you have to guide them. If they won, I'd stay with them to help them through the experience."
Despite his reservations, Logan didn’t close the door completely. "Never say never. If I had something that really stood out…"
Logan left the door open with one condition: "Give me an orchestra and I might think about it."
