#BIRTHDAY: Eliot from Belgium is 20 today Is there the right age to be taking part in our favourite TV show? Should you be a fresh-faced teenager? Or is the right age in your twenties, of thirties, or even older? Today’s birthday boy Eliot Vassamillet was an aforementioned […]

#BIRTHDAY: Sandra Kim from Belgium is 48 today It’s a well-known fact that Eurovision fans love records. No, not the seven-inch kind, but the “Who got the most 12s” sort of record. One of those of note is the youngest winner. It’s held, of course, by today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jacques Raymond from Belgium is 82 today There are many people that have tried one more than one occasion to win European music’s biggest prize. Some do it knowingly, whilst others get drafted in late on, probably because they’ve done it before. Today’s birthday boy Jacques Raymond […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emly Starr from Belgium is 63 today Our friends in Belgium are a curious bunch. Plucky as ever, and taking part since the first contest (1956 in case you were wondering), and only ever had one win. It’s a nice arrangement that the broadcasters for the two […]

BIRTHDAY: Loïc Nottet from Belgium is 24 today Do you feel for Belgium? A fully-formed country, but two broadcasters that keep to their own markets – except for Eurovision of course and, I understand, there are very few channels of communications between the two. I’m sure it’s not […]
