#BIRTHDAY: 21 August – Lukas Meijer is 38 Time for a false flagger. It shouldn’t make any difference whether you’re singing for your own country or another one. However some countries have permeated the general fabric of Eurovision more than others. Our friends in Poland are still looking […]
#BIRTHDAY: 4 August – Jessica Mauboy from Australia is 37 There are lots of exclusive Eurovision clubs out there. Double winners. Singers performing back-to-back entries. Or that other one – singers who first performed in an interval act before getting the main gig. We can only think of […]
#BIRTHDAY: 18 July – Laura Rizzotto from Latvia is 32 Nationality is a funny thing. Some countries taking part in our favourite TV show insist on someone who only hails from where they’re representing. Others have a more laissez-faire approach. Today’s birthday girl Laura Rizzotto is of Latvian […]

#BIRTHDAY: 18 Feb – SuRie from the UK is 37 Sometimes performers aren’t always remembered for their three minutes of singing on that hallowed stage. Just occasionally, there’s an event outside their control that overshadows what they’re there to do. We won’t dwell on the incident that befell […]
#BIRTHDAY: 3 Jan – Amaia from Spain is 27 today As you’ll know, we pick performers from all years when we celebrate birthdays here. You’ll relish the black & white of some, but equally you’ll enjoy the “4K HD-ness” of the more recent contests. As it happens, today […]
