#BIRTHDAY: 28 August – Gry Johansen from Denmark is 62 Thick and thin. That’s an adage that applies to every country taking part in our favourite TV show. Any country can win, but equally any country can do less well. Yes, even our Nordic friends. In 1983 we […]
#BIRTHDAY: 10 July – Anne-Cathrine Herdorf from Denmark is 59 If there’s one country that you can rely on, it’s our friends in Denmark. Yes, they took a few years out in the 1960s and 1970s. But they’re a firm fixture, and even win from time to time. […]
#BIRTHDAY: 29 June – Gitte Hænning is 80 Remember Germany? They win very occasionally and also finish near the bottom of the table? A country in the middle of Europe bordering lots of places? Well they don’t always win or finish badly. And they don’t always have a […]
#BIRTHDAY: 20 June – Kenny Lübcke from Denmark is 60 We love duos at Eurovision. And when there’s actually chemistry between the two protagonists, even better. We know that, sometimes, you can tell they’ve been thrown together and told to get on with it. Today’s birthday boy Kenny […]
#BIRTHDAY: 23 May – Malene from Denmark is 44 It a sad truth that for [almost] every Eurovision Song Contest, there is only one winner. That means a whole heap of losers non-winners. And out of all those non-winners, there’s always a last place. As past performance is […]
#ESC2026; Eurovision Ireland reviews… Part Two As in previous years, Eurovision Ireland has looked at the entrants in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest. Over six shows, we pass our judgement and score them. Will pick a winner? In part two, we look at Australia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway […]
#BIRTHDAY: 19 Mar – Birthe Wilke from Denmark is 90 We go with a non-English language song today. And our friends in Denmark are sending a song to Vienna in Danish. That’s twice since the contest that never happened. It’s good to hear the language again. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Søren Bundgaard from Denmark is 70 Eurovision can be full of Venn diagrams. Who are Swedish and winners, for example. Or who are German and have finished at the other end of the table. But a more interesting Venn diagram is duos who have performed more than […]
#BIRTHDAY: 23 Feb – Lise Haavik is 64 It’s a common thing that countries don’t always pick a national when they’re deciding who should sing for them. That’s down to the country concerned, whether it’s right or wrong. Some places had almost no national singing for them. Sometimes […]
#STORYOFMYLIFE – Day Three with Richard from EI In this series, we’ll be talking to someone and asking them to pick five songs (over five days) that mean something to them. These may not be their top five songs of all time – merely songs that attach to […]
