Herreys was a Swedish pop group, consisting of the three Mormon brothers Per Herrey (born August 9, 1958), Richard Herrey (born August 19, 1964) and Louis Herrey (born November 3, 1966). They won the Sopot International Song Festival in 1985 with "Sommarparty på Stranden", and before that the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 with the song "Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley". At the time Herreys won Eurovision, the brothers were living and working as singers in the United States. As a result, all three of the Herrey brothers are fluent in English as well as Swedish. The host country, Luxembourg, had problems finding a suitable venue. In the end, RTL decided to hold the contest in the tiny Théâtre Municipal and as a consequence, only VIPs, press and members of each country's delegation were allowed in. The presenter of the show, Desirée Nosbusch, was only 19 years old when she presented the contest, but she is nowadays seen as one of the best hosts ever in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest.
