#BIRTHDAY: Ryan O’Shaughnessy from Ireland is 32 today It’s always good to see a success story. One where someone gets through, despite the odds being against them. Which is a tenuous link to Ireland. Those heady days of the 1990s seem a long time ago, and past performance […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nicki French has a birthday today Those decades keep on coming, and it’s the turn of that which some call the ‘noughties’. It’s an odd term, so we’ll just call it the first decade of the 21st Century. Sure, you could argue that today’s song was still […]

#BIRTHDAY: Victoria from Bulgaria is 27 today That class of 2020, eh? They keep amazing us with their also being the class of 2021. It was commendable of the various TV companies continuing to back them, and it was ironic the winners of 2021 weren’t there in 2020. […]
