#BIRTHDAY: Roger Pontare from Sweden is 70 today Hang on to your hats. To some people, today’s song comes from the only country that matters in Eurovision. No, it’s not Malta, although would you be happier if it was? Of course I’m talking about Sweden. Some would like […]
#BIRTHDAY: Yohanna from Iceland is 31 today I know, we keep picking songs from the 20th Century that no-one remembers, and aren’t impressive. Well I’m hopefully redressing that balance today with a song from the 21st Century. That’s right. It’s recent. If you can call 2009 recent. And […]
#HALL OF FAME: Our fifth and sixth inductees Here at Eurovision Ireland, we want to celebrate those most illustrious people who have made our favourite TV show the thing that it is today. In each edition, we’ll induct two performer or personalities from somewhere in Eurovision land. These […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Karine Strøm from Norway is 70 today That thing when you think a song title hasn’t been used before, but in actual fact it has. Take a certain Azerbaijani singing in Rotterdam this year. She sang about a Dutch temptress. Maybe she didn’t know that that specific […]

#BIRTHDAY: Vanessa Chinitor from Belgium is 45 today Our friends in Belgium have only ever had one win, despite trying, trying and trying again. They’ve a few records under their belts – youngest winner, first song in an imaginary language. And I’ve got another noteworthy song for you […]
#BIRTHDAY: Inge Brück from Germany is 85 today We all go through dark times, but friends will help you. No matter what it is. Don’t forget that. And people sing about things getting better, because they often do. But onto today’s song. I’ve gone vintage. Really vintage. Black […]
#BIRTHDAY: Margaret Berger from Norway is 36 today Life can imitate art sometimes. For example, I’ll plant this thought: Who do you think I once saw in a food court in sunny Malmö eating a burger? In other news, I’ve found a very powerful song for your birthday-related […]
