BIRTHDAY: Katja Ebstein from Germany is 75 today There is an elite bunch of people out there who have taken part more than once. It’s as if they cant get enough of the Eurovision drug. And I don’t mean Ibuprofen. But that elite club has advanced membership for […]
BIRTHDAY: Sergej Ćetković from Montenegro is 44 today When Yugoslavia disintegrated many years ago, we were always keen to see as many of its parts entering songs in our favourite TV show. All six of them (that are EBU members) have now, but some are sitting on the […]
BIRTHDAY: Tüzmen from Turkey is 52 today Do you ever think of what might have been when you see someone on the Eurovision tage? Do you think of what it beat in a national final? Back in 1998, Turkey (remember them) sent today’s birthday boy Tarkan Tüzmen. He’d […]
#BIRTHDAY: Clodagh Rodgers from the UK is 73 today Did you know that there’s been a whole host of voting systems through the years. The current 12, 10 system has been in place a long time and has generally worked. But what did we do before 1975? Well, […]

BIRTHDAY: Jean Gabilou from France is 76 today France are good at Eurovision. Well, they have been in the past. And anyone can win our favourite TV show. And wouldn’t you love a contest in Paris? And that’s a lot of ‘ands’. We can always dream. But it’s […]
BIRTHDAY: Lenny Kuhr from the Netherlands is 70 today When you look at the Netherlands’ fortunes, you will see amongst it five wins. They had to wait 44 years between their last two, but the first three came in a 12 year spell. That’s impressive. Any country would […]
BIRTHDAY: Cezar from Romania is 40 today Stage performances come in all shapes and sizes. Some are just the singer, with backdrop, giving us a simple song. Others use cowbells, Alpen horns, costume changes, or even children (pre 1989). Today’s birthday Florin Cezar Ouatu tried a different tack. […]
BIRTHDAY: Ben Cramer from the Netherlands is 73 today The contest in the Netherlands is rapidly approaching, with songs aplenty being picked, a city getting ready, and all the fun, games and bafflement that will follow. With that in in mind, it’s time for another Dutch birthday. Maybe […]
BIRTHDAY: DQ from Denmark is 47 today Our favourite TV show can be a glamorous affair, and many people just tune in for the costumes. They must just like shiny things. Well that might explain a certain Ukrainian with a star on their head. Of course, there’s more […]
