#BIRTHDAY: Kirsten Siggaard from Denmark is 68 today I know, I know. We’ve had too much obscurity of late. Songs you may have seen once and forgotten about have their place. Today is different. First, today’s song comes from the scientifically-proven best Eurovision of all time. And it’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Cathrine Herdorf from Denmark is 55 today 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. Being present […]
#BIRTHDAY: Malene from Denmark is 40 today 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 no guide […]
