#BIRTHDAY: Athena Manoukian from Armenia is 30 today There’s that exclusive club of performers that was formed in 2020. So exclusive that only around a dozen acts are fully paid-up members. A large number applied, but lost out due to an appearance in 2021. This club is those […]
#BIRTHDAY: Pia Maria from Austria is 21 today Eurovision can be a fickle thing. One minute you’re finishing top three, the next you’re failing to qualify for the Grand Final. It’s tough, but what can you do? One thing to try is to make your song as current […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dilara Kazimova from Azerbaijan is 40 today Our friends in Azerbaijan have always been eager participants in our favourite TV show. With one win under their belt, they’re doing better than some, and they must be eager for another win. Azerbaijan’s traditional course is to out-source the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Merethe Trøan from Norway is 54 today Do you remember the old days? When the contest was all done and dusted in one night, and none of these new Europeans were able to do their thing? Well 1992 was probably the last ‘old’ contest as we know […]

#BIRTHDAY: Simon Mathew from Denmark is 40 today We’ve not long been home from a contest that was almost in Denmark. Yes, it was in sunny Malmö, but many people travelled through the enormous Kastrup airport to get there. So could Copenhagen have made a claim to be […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maja Blagdan from Croatia is 56 today We’ve said it before, but some Eurovision performers can’t get enough of it. Some stop when they’ve finally made it to the bit time. Some just keep going… Maybe stopping at one appearance is the way to go. Today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paulo de Carvalho from Portugal is 77 today Every song – in it’s own way – makes its own piece of history. It could be a country’s début song. It could be their lowest ever scorer. Or it could make its mark for wider reasons. Fifty (yes, […]
