I think he was almost the UK entry into Eurovision way back.
Unless my aging memory is playing tricks, he lost out to the eventual winner "Save all your kisses for me" by The Brotherhood of Man.

RIP fella.

I've had a look into it, and he finished third in the 1978 selection, behind the winner "Bad Old Days" by Co-Co, which flopped in the contest. Christian's song was "Shine It On", written by Bill Martin & Phil Coulter. They also wrote "Puppet on a String", Sandie Shaw's winning entry in 1967.

Ahh, my Eurovision trivia heid failed there.

Co-Co included Cheryl Baker who went on to Eurovision glory in 1981 with Bucks Fizz... whose 2nd UK number one Land of Make Believe was written by Peter Sinfield... who was in King Crimson with Robert Fripp... who went on to record in Berlin with David Bowie... who recorded with
LL ... who won Eurovision in 1969 with Boom Bang a Bang.... which is pure filth
