#BIRTHDAY: Anna Sahlene is 47 today That thing when your country wins, meaning you have to host next year. If you’re that winning broadcaster, it must be a year-long headache. Venue, date, theme, hosts – they all must be a nightmare. On top of all that, you still […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michalis Rakintzis from Greece is 66 today Things got a little odd at the turn of the century. We were trapped in Nordic/Baltic Europe after time in the eastern Med. Countries were taking it in turns to be relegated. And we had some interesting acts. When we […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marcel Pavel from Romania is 63 today What’s your favourite ever Eurovision duet? Is it one from the 1950s when the two protagonists smooched for a little longer than was good for them? Or a pleasant little ditty that won in 1994? There are so many to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maja Tatić from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 52 today Do you have a favourite part of what used to be Yugoslavia? A part you have a soft spot for, and always cheer on if/when they take part in our favourite TV show? One ex-Yugo nation that is […]

#BIRTHDAY: Sarit Hadad from Israel is 44 today For some, Eurovision is just a sideshow. These performers are already massive stars, and they take the Golden Ticket to burnish their credentials as the best when they might not need to. Cue today’s birthday girl שרית חדד/Sarit Hadad (née […]
#BIRTHDAY: Buket Bengisu from Türkiye is 46 today Our friends in Turkey/Türkiye are taking a sabbatical at the moment, and many of you out there miss them. They brought something slightly exotic to proceedings, and their language – for many years anyway – was alluringly different. Just over […]
Today, the 2022 Commonwealth Games continues to take place, in Birmingham, the United Kingdom. Each day throughout the Games, will be looking at the Commonwealth nations that have sent artists to the Eurovision Song Contest. Today we are looking at Malta. Ira Losco was Malta’s entry in 2002, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ira Losco from Malta is 41 today That thing where you enjoy something so much, you want to do it again. We’ve all been there. But how many times has the second time not quite matched up to the first? This has happened often to those winners […]
