#IRELAND: Review of Ireland’s Eurosong 2013 At Eurovision Ireland we like to delve into the history of our favourite TV show, and review what’s taken place. This time we review the Irish national final from 2013. As you may know, Ireland made it through to the Grand Final […]
#BIRTHDAY: William Mangion from Malta is 62 today There are some special contests where things change. 1971 was one instance (previews started). 2004 was another (semi-finals).

#BIRTHDAY: Jari Sillanpää from Finland is 55 today It’s opening song time again. And not just any old opening song. Oh no. This was has a special place in Eurovision history. It was the first song in the first semi-final in the host country. Yes, there have been […]
