BIRTHDAY: Gianluca from Malta is 30 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. Today we look at the Mediterranean’s happiest rock. In 2013 they sent […]
BIRTHDAY: Laila Kinnunen from Finland would have been 80 today That first entry. Always daunting for a broadcaster. What will Europe think of us? How will we do? Will we have the money to take part every year? Back in the 1960s, participation was easier. Eurovision was a […]
BIRTHDAY: Anri Jokhadze from Georgia is 39 today It could be time to have another contender for Mr Eurovision. Each country will have one – as well as a Mrs/Miss/Ms Eurovision. But we’ll leave the ladies for another time. Georgia has had 12 songs make it to the […]
BIRTHDAY: Geir Rönning is 57 today False flag time again. It’s a close thing, with the Nordics. They’re very close culturally, so someone moving between them isn’t that noteworthy. So perhaps there’s no false flag after all. Finland is an interesting case. Nordic, but not quite that Nordic. […]

BIRTHDAY: Pearl Carr from the UK is 96 today It’s good to go right back at time. For those that don’t know, there was once a contest with only ten songs. Can you imagine that now? Well, compared to that, 1959 was a bumper edition. In that year, […]
BIRTHDAY: Tijana Bogićević from Serbia is 38 today Balkan, Balkan, Balkan. And so on. That’s where we are today, and things have a definite Cyrillic flavour. We’re with a country that burst onto the Eurovision scene in 2007. That’s Serbia. Yes, the place who’s capital is Belgrade had […]
BIRTHDAY: Séverine Ferrer representing Monaco is 42 today It’s always sad when a country decides to sit out Eurovision. For a year is understandable, but there are a few we’ve not seen for many years now. Are they still paying attention to our favourite TV show? Or do […]
