She landed the Eurovision chance following a short meeting with BBC executives, who asked her, " Would You like to be on TV? ".
At The Time , only 10 countries entered The Contest and The Unknown Ms Bredin ended up in seventh place with her Love Song called All.

Analysis by David Reeves, BBC Radio Humberside
Meeting Patricia was a real treat but quite nerve wracking.
I'd researched her life and career endlessly in The Days before we met at her home in Nova Scotia eight years ago.
I shouldn't have worried. Patricia's warmth and charm was instant and within Five Minutes of walking through The Door , the bubbly was being poured.
A big bright personality, Patricia shared stories of a career spanning decades.
She had worked with Roger Moore on Ivanhoe in the late 1950s, and visited Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton for lunch in London, all after representing the UK for the very First Time at Eurovision.
And behind that incredible voice was her generosity. She raised funds for her community via charity screenings of her old films.
In her words: " I had a wonderful career and enjoyed it and you Go On to Something Else . "
