#EDITORIAL: Shine a light As usual, the devoted Eurovision fan community will be picking apart what happened on the evening of Eurovision Day. Except, it was no normal Eurovision Day (is there ever?). In place of the usual riotous cavalcade of quality song, we had a pared down […]
#BIRTHDAY: Can Bonomo from Turkey is 33 today It’s always sad when a country decides to sit out our favourite TV show. And today’s sad enough, when our favourite TV show isn’t actually taking place at all in its usual form. We had a now-absent country yesterday, and […]
#BIRTHDAY: The TWiiNS from Slovakia are 34 today Two birthdays for the price of one. Always a bonus, don’t you think? But as you’ll gather, a fair number of twins have taken part in our favourite TV show. There is always this fascination with twins, whether they’re tumbling […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sarbel from Greece is 39 today Our friends in Greece were, to be fair, a country with very little success during the 20th Century. Everything changed in Copenhagen, and that win suddenly came within reach. As we know, Helena Paparizou eventually pulled it off, and a crop […]
#BIRTHDAY: Johnny Logan is 66 today Legend is a term bandied around all too easily in this day and age. Someone can get a maximum from [insert country here] because they used a line in that country’s language, and they get branded a legend. In 1987, history happened, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lill Lindfors is 80 today The last two days we’ve had ladies from Sweden in this slot. And guess, what, here comes another one. Flickorna tar över, as they say in sunny Växjö. Now, Kikki and Sahlene could only manage a pitiful third in their respective contests, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sahlene is 44 today Yesterday we had a home entrant. Today we have another one. And in a curious twist, even though she was a home entrant, she was also a false-flagger, from the country we concentrated on yesterday. Confused? You should be. OK, OK, today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kikki Danielsson is 68 today It’s home entrant time again. When you look through the years, several nations have had more home entrants than others – obviously. These may have been because their country won the previous year, or maybe because their country picked up the baton […]
#EUROPE: Book launch today As you will know, our very own James Scanlan is a valued member of our Eurovision Ireland family, but there is more to him than you realise. He’s also a published author. His book Europe in a Day – Day Trips to the Continent […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paul Harrington is 60 today What’s your favourite type of song? Those about falling in love? Those about falling out of love? Or something else? Today’s song is in the ‘something else’ category, even though it’s a bit of falling in love. It’s more about nostalgia, and […]
