#BIRTHDAY: Gracia from Germany is 39 today Our friends in Germany haven’t had the most consistent of times of late. Yes, they’ve had one win in this Century, but also a few results that were not quite as good. As you’ll know, we’ve had two contests in Kyiv, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kate Miller-Heidke from Australia is 40 today You have three minutes. You have to make an impression. Maybe your vocals are beyond compare. But are they enough? Do you need that extra something to give you the edge? What could it be? In 2019, today’s birthday girl […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anni-Frid Lyngstad is 76 today Just once in a while, I’ll pick a birthday for a member of a group. And I’ve gone obscure. Possibly. Let’s see if her group’s song rings any bells at all. I understand it did OK in the 1970s. I jest of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marija Šerifović from Serbia is 37 today It seems that English rules these days. No, not the (sub-)national entity. I mean the language. It’s rampant in the presentation of the shows. It’s all pervasive in the press centre. And it’s the main tongue of song too. So […]
#BIRTHDAY: Benny Borg is 76 today Back in the 1970s, it was almost the same countries that turned up every year. There was none of this semi-final tomfoolery. And as for the concept of countries further east taking part. Well, that would just be madness. Obviously things chance, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Raphael Gualazzi from Italy is 40 today It was back in late 2010/early 2011 that websites were previewing a massive announcement that we’d remember for ever. It was an intriguing thing to say, and did, momentarily, have me wondering what it would be. An expanded contest of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vicky Rosti from Finland is 63 today Do you have a list of your favourites songs per country? Maybe you think Quedate conmigo is the best Spanish song ever. Or that Nel blu dipinto di blu is the best Italian song of all time. Or what can […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gianluca Bezzina from Malta is 32 today Are there any countries you would love to see win for the first time? Well there aren’t that many left, but some are dying to lose their winning virginity, as we saw in Rotterdam. Today we look at the Mediterranean’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katerine Duska from Greece is 32 today Our friends in Greece are vociferous Eurovision fans. It’s true they had a really purple patch some time ago, when they could do absolutely no wrong. Those top 10 places started in 2001, and generally continued about a dozen years. […]
#HALL OF FAME: Welcome inductees 11 and 12 Here at Eurovision Ireland, we want to celebrate those most illustrious people who have made our favourite TV show the thing that it is today. In each edition, we’ll induct two performer or personalities from somewhere in Eurovision land. These […]
