#BIRTHDAY: Gérard Lenorman from France is 80 today Our favourite TV show has a rich history, and it’s good to dig deep sometimes, to pick out those songs you won’t here every day. They won’t feature in a Top 250, or in a Eurovision disco. But they’re still […]

#BIRTHDAY: Louisa Baïleche from France is 48 today Our friends in France have been in our favourite TV show since the start. Yes, that’s even those contests in the 20th Century. Five wins in that time too, although nothing more than a runner-up spot since 1977. Over forty […]

#BIRTHDAY: Patrick Fiori from France is 55 today It’s always nice to hear a song that’s not English. But even more special when we hear a proper minority language. Our friends in France have gone down that road in the past with, among others, Breton and Antillean Creole. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Fanny from France is 45 today If you have a long memory, you’ll know that Ireland has hosted our favourite TV show in the past. It was a long time ago, but if you remember those heady days, you’ll remember them with fondness. Especially if you’re Irish. […]
#BIRTHDAY: La Zarra is 37 today When you look at non-Europeans that participate in our favourite TV show, our friends in Canada must have provided more than their fair share. We’ve had one Canuck winner, and many others have tried. Today’s birthday girl La Zarra (née Fatima-Zahra Hafdi) […]
