Lenny Kuhr gets guitar back after years with which she won ESF | Entertainment

entertainment">After her win she lost sight of the guitar pretty quickly, but then she received an unexpected email from Jaap’s wife, the man she had had a relationship with after winning the Eurovision song contest. Els emailed me to tell me that Jaap had passed away. When clearing out, she found a guitar tucked away in a corner, ”Kuhr tells the ESF organization.

entertainment">Els was convinced that it had to be the guitar with which Kuhr her winning song The Troubadour sang. “The guitar was a lot darker than I could remember and had deep cracks on both sides, but it had my guitar teacher’s nameplate on it,” said Kuhr. After a cleaning and inspection by a luthier, who compared the grain structure of the cover sheet with the photos of the performance in Madrid, it turned out to be true. “This was the guitar with which I won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1969.”

entertainment">She has used the guitar for a few songs on her new album, which the singer is currently working on. Also The Troubadour returns in one of the new songs on her album, but the way is not yet known.
