#BIRTHDAY: Marcel Palonder from Slovakia is 59 today

As we know, countries have come and gone when it comes to participating in our favourite TV show. Some we miss, and some, well, you can guess the rest. Some say powers-that-be are more interested in other places than steadfast members of the EBU. But what do we know?

Anyway, whilst it might be nice to hear what some far-flung places have to offer, it could also be worth trying to tempt back those countries closer to home. Andorra, Slovakia and Turkey are examples. It’d be good to see them back. So to remind us of these ex-participants, it’s the birthday of the Slovak Marcel Palonder today.
