Having failed to participate in the inaugural Eurovision 1956 due to missing the entry deadline , the UK had made a disappointing Eurovision debut at Eurovision 1957 with the UK entrant " All " by Patricia Bredin finishing seventh in a field of ten : no recording had been made of " All " and the UK had not participated in Eurovision 1958 . The second place showing of " Sing , Little Birdie " at Eurovision 1959 was the first evidence of the UK being a potent force at Eurovision : four subsequent UK Eurovision entrants would take second place at the contest finals before the UK would score its first Eurovision victory at Eurovision 1967 with " Puppet on a String " by Sandie Shaw
