Clodagh Rodgers, a singer and actress from Northern Ireland, best known for her hit singles including, 1969 hits "Come Back and Shake Me" and "Goodnight Midnight" sang all the six finalists in the contest, having been internally selected by the BBC to represent the United Kingdom, in part due to worries as to what reaction the British artist would face at the contest in Dublin.

Rodgers released two standard 7-inch singles of the winner, with one of the runners-up "Someone to Love Me" or "Wind of Change" on the B-Sides.

"Another Time, Another Place" was then included on the 1972 budget LP Clodagh Rodgers, after it had become a No.13 hit single for Engelbert Humperdinck.

All jury members were colocated at the venue in Dublin, and were brought on stage during the voting sequence to present their points.
