#BIRTHDAY: 19 Oct – James Newman from the UK is 41 Eurovision fans love a record breaker. The singer who scored the most points. The countries that have won the most times. The first song to include the word ‘unbeknownest’. They all have their place. Other records are […]
#BIRTHDAY: 18 Oct – Loucas Giorkas from Greece is 40 Our friends in the Hellenophone community used to have a torrid time of it. They’d be true to themselves and enter stuff reflecting their culture, and would earn few rewards. Then in the early part of the 21st […]
#BIRTHDAY: 17 Oct – Daniel from North Macedonia is 43 Some of the best Eurovision songs never make it out of a semi-final, even though they may warrant a better finish. All it needs is that one mediocre performance at the crucial time and you turn a finalist […]
#BIRTHDAY: 16 Oct – Jedward from Ireland are 35 Do you think we’re short-changing you, with only one birthday per day. Well it wouldn’t be right if we were to dilute the attention we give to a birthday boy or girl. Unless it’s twins. And if you want […]

#BIRTHDAY: 14 Oct – Iveta Mukuchyan from Armenia is 40 Today we go to one of those countries who have been able to get things right with the junior version of our favourite TV show. Seven Top 2 places no less. But they’ve had a little less success […]
#BIRTHDAY: 13 Oct – Vanessa Chinitor from Belgium is 50 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 we’ve got another noteworthy song […]
#BIRTHDAY: 12 Oct – Brian Kennedy from Ireland is 60 Do you like a ballad or a banger? Or something in between? Or do you like all forms of song – yes, even Schlager? Our friends in Ireland are past masters at the ballad. They’ve won no end […]
#BIRTHDAY: 11 Oct – Hakan and Gökhan from Türkiye are 50 It must be a daunting prospect when you’re picked to represent your country in your host country. After all, everyone remembers your country winning the previous year, so hope are high that you can do as well. […]
#BIRTHDAY: 9 Oct – Sidsel Ben Semmane from Denmark is 38 Today we have a real treat for you. We know there’s a real fan of today’s song amongst our occasional writers. We don’t want to get you too excited, but you probably will be. Our friends in […]
