The last ESC to have an orchestra was back in 1998, and it was also hosted by the BBC.
Why would the broadcaster need to provide an orchestra?

For it to be a song contest it surely needs people singing first and foremost which it has.(11-10-2022, 03:19 AM)Stuart Wrote:(10-10-2022, 09:57 PM)8baan Wrote: So what are the chances the BBC will bring back a live orchestra?Each act has its own musicians, very often just hidden out of view of the TV audience.

Personally I believe for it to be a song contest, that you'll need actual live music. Not some karaoke backing track.

You simply couldn't produce such a highly paced show with constantly changing live musicians. Vocal mics can be handled, instruments not so much.

The keyboard player and the drummer on opposite sides of the stage weren't there for fun!
The event producers spend months rehearsing the necessary changes for each act, that's why it looks so good on screen.
