Kiev Connolly & The Missing Passengers were a German-based band fronted by Irish singer Kiev Connolly. After moving to Germany in 1978 he worked as a studio manager and music producer before establishing the band and securing a deal with Arista Munich, releasing two successful studio albums. In 1985 the group performed his hit song "Did She Tell You" on German radio and television before being selected to represent his home country at the 1989 Contest in Lausanne. They finished in 18th place, which was the country's worst result up to that point.
