#BIRTHDAY: Doris Dragović from Croatia is 64 today It may come as a surprise to some people out there, but there were Eurovision Song Contests in the 20th Century. A tall story you might think, but definitely true. Today it’s the birthday of one of those performers for […]
#CHRISTMAS2024: Eurovision Ireland Advent Calendar Day 15 Christmas is a-coming, so we at Eurovision Ireland want to share some notable performances by Eurovision acts of festive songs. Some are standards, and some may be new to you. Today’s song is… Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
#BIRTHDAY: Daniela Simons from Switzerland is 65 today Our friends in Switzerland were the first winners of our favourite TV show – no, it wasn’t L*r**n after all. And their span of wins stretches over 68 years. Unlikely ever to be beaten. But in addition to three wins, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sandra Kim from Belgium is 52 today It’s a well-known fact that Eurovision fans love records. No, not the seven-inch kind, but the “Who got the most 12s” sort of record. One of those of note is the youngest winner. It’s held, of course, by today’s birthday […]

#BIRTHDAY: Lasse Holm from Sweden is 80 today Long before a certain Thomas G:son, among others, Sweden (remember them?) had a number of people who could turn out Eurovision entries quicker than you can list your favourite song(s) by Carola. Since 1978, Melodifestivalen has been the occasional haunt […]
#BIRTHDAY: Timna Brauer from Austria is 62 today These days, our favourite TV show is fairly free and easy with language. If a country isn’t using its own language, then English is the favourite but not the only choice. Some songs even contain a plethora of tongues to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ketil Stokkan from Norway is 67 today It’s nearly here. The most mad, fun and baffling two weeks of the year. For a certain type of person anyway. It baffles me why some people go year after year. Spending vast sums of money to mix with singers, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kari from Finland is 62 today The free language rule. It’s part and parcel of the typical Eurovision experience. But in the 1980s it was a different story. Countries could only sing in languages of their own country. It perhaps gave an advantage to those more commonly-spoke […]
