#BIRTHDAY: Molly Sterling from Ireland is 25 today We like today’s birthday girl, and not just because she’s Irish. Some of us went on a boat trip with her, and chewed the fat for hours. It was a defining moment in 2015. Today’s birthday girl Molly Sterling was, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Morena from Malta is 39 today We all know that Eurovision should be a family affair. Yes, most of the fans are men, but there’s nothing to stop families settling down on a Saturday evening. So if it’s for a family audience, are there any subjects that […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lotta Engberg from Sweden is 60 today We like to think that most of the best songs to come from Sweden were in the 1980s. Classic after classic after classic. Well, for us they are anyway. Sometimes the saying about less being more is a wise one. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Umberto Tozzi from Italy is 71 today Let’s go back to the 1980s. A world of orchestras, big hair, big shoulders, big everything. And a regular supply of the same countries taking part year in year out. That doesn’t always mean it was a bad thing. Our […]

#BIRTHDAY: Gjoko Taneski from North Macedonia is 46 today One of the smaller members of our happy Eurovision family is a country near Greece. It’s known officially as North Macedonia, but was previously the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Or unofficially as the Republic of Macedonia. But let’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Valentina Monetta from San Marino is 48 today What do you think of those performers that keep coming back? Do you think they should call it a day if they don’t do well? Do you admire persistence? Do you secretly one a trier to win at some […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emmelie de Forest from Denmark is 30 today Are you always able to pick a winner when you first hear it? Or does it baffle you completely when [insert country here] wins? Obviously, if you could pick a winner, every year, you’d be as rich as Crœsus. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jessika Muscat is 34 today It’s always interesting how some countries choose their singers and songs. Some go internal, or there’s the bog standard national final. Or you could be innovative. Like a certain event in 2018. Our friends in San Marino tried something different in 2018. […]
