#BIRTHDAY: Ramón from Spain is 40 today We will soon have a new winner of the Eurovision Song Contest. Who will it be? One of the lucky qualifiers from a semi-final? Or the defending country? Or one of the Big Five? In other news, today’s birthday boy is […]
#BIRTHDAY: Engelbert Humperdinck from the UK is 89 today Eurovision is a young person’s game. Or is it? People of all ages from 11 to, well, unknown, despite a certain presenter in 1987 telling us about the rising stars taking part. Our friends in the UK are amongst […]
#BIRTHDAY: Levina from Germany is 34 today It’s all very well celebrating winners. They deserve their praise as they’ve finished the top in their field. But for every winner, there are plenty of non-winners. Some being more non-winner than others. Our friends in Germany haven’t had the easiest […]
#BIRTHDAY: Christos Mylordos from Cyprus is 34 today Do you like the semi-finals? Do you like the way that some countries try their hardest to find that perfect song, only to fall short because your song is better suited to a weekend audience on a main channel. Many […]
#BIRTHDAY: Arlette Zola from Switzerland is 76 today Could we have a win from ‘Old Europe’ this year? People are touting a win from the continent’s western half, maybe even by a country neighbouring this year’s host nation. Of course, back in the day, Eurovision was a club […]

#BIRTHDAY: Vlado Kalember is 71 today Time to slip in a little duet for your viewing pleasure. It comes from that mythical country Yugoslavia. And goes to show that, for a time at least, a larger entity can function perfectly well. Back in 1984, Yugoslavia (remember them?) was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Björn Ulvaeus from Sweden is 80 today Today we celebrate a birthday from a member of a certain popular beat combo. You might have heard of them. They come from a country with a modest population, called Sweden. Or “Sverige” to use their local parlance. Back in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jacqueline Boyer from France is 84 today Because we celebrate all aspects of our favourite TV show here, it should be no surprise when we dig deeply into the archives. We’ve dug/digged very deeply today, back to the fifth contest. No, it’s not from 2006, but from […]
