#BIRTHDAY: Tajči from Yugoslavia is 54 today A home entry! Excellent. This one comes from a country warm enough for the home participant not to worry about wishing they’d gone somewhere more exotic. The home broadcaster was a joint effort between a national and a regional TV company. […]
Today, the 2024 Tour de France commenced and we have added a Eurovision twist to the proceedings. During the Tour, we will be looking at the Italian and French winning entries of the Contest. Today is stage two, with the tour continuing in the Italian city of Cesenatico. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nucha from Portugal is 58 today What do you now? It’s Lusitanian singing that was largely ignored by the juries of Europe. I’ll admit that not everything Portugal did was good, but they deserved better some years. Back in 1990, Eurovision was a simpler affair. We knew […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emma Booth from the UK is 49 today Eurovision is mainly a young person’s game. Yes, even with the Junior version of our favourite TV show, the majority of performers at the senior even are in their teens and twenties. It must be the optimism of youth. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Toto Cutugno from Italy is 80 today If you’re a Eurovision fan worth their gravy (or glitter), you might have an eye on its history. Which countries have hosted, which cities have hosted, that sort of thing. Of course, every contest needs a host or hosts. And […]

#BIRTHDAY: Chris Kempers from Germany is 58 today Did I hear you ask for a duet? Did I? Did I? well, you’re getting one anyway. One from a famous year which featured songs with a very common theme. Yep, the year of note was 1990. Our friends in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Joëlle Ursull from France is 62 today It’s always a good thing when a country tries something different. There’s one thing for a formulaic song, but thinking outside the box can be a breath of fresh air. It can sometimes pay dividends too. In the 1990s, our […]
On September 27th, the SHORTER-SHORT LIST for the 2023 Host City was revealed. While we don’t know where the Eurovision Song Contest will be held next year until the Autumn, we thought we’d look back at the cities that have already hosted the Contest. The Hague The Hague hosted the […]
