Poogy performed 6th on the night of the contest at The Dome in Brighton, following Greece's Marinella and preceding the Yugoslavia's Korni Grupa. According to the laws of the contest, only six people are allowed to perform on the stage during the performance, and therefore Yoni Rechter, the keyboardist of the band, had to be the conductor of the orchestra. The voting system tried between 1971 and 1973 was abandoned, and for 1974 returned to the previous system of ten jury members in each country awarding one vote each.
