Ryder

Ryder was a purpose-made pop group led by Maynard Williams whose primary purpose was to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 1986. Ryder performed the song "Runner in the Night" which was placed 7th. They were criticised in the media for being a particularly weak and unsuitable entry. The song was the first UK Eurovision entry to fail to reach the top 75 since 1964, managing a peak of only #98.
