#BIRTHDAY: Colm C T Wilkinson is 76 today Over the years, many big stars have taken part in our favourite TV show. Some are stars of the charts, some are TV personalities, but plenty have excelled in musical theatre. Back in 1978, the contest was opened by today’s […]
#STAGGY: Review of 2020 Part IV Our team member Staggy Ristamouse was naturally disappointed he couldn’t go to Rotterdam. Nevertheless, as a Eurovision fan he naturally has opinions on the songs. Here are some more. You can find some previous views of the songs HERE. First up are […]
