#ESC25: The German/Austrian party Eurovision Ireland were given access to a party at a restaurant on the Rhine, laid on jointly by the embassies of Germany and Austria. JJ and Abor & Tynna were there to greet us all. Sadly, in order to protect his voice, JJ didn’t […]
#ESC25: Interview with Tautumeitas Eurovision Ireland were lucky enough to catch up with Latvia folk group Tautumeitas. They told us about their influences, their time in Basel and, of course, cake. Could Tautumeitas make it to the Grand Final on 17 May and get a good result? Tell […]
#BIRTHDAY: Simone Drexel from Switzerland is 68 today Do you look at those big anniversaries to see what happened 10, 20, 30 years ago (and so on). For a contest that’s been going for nearly 70 years, you have plenty of material. A mere fifty years ago, we […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lill Lindfors from Sweden is 85 today Yesterday we had a lady from Sweden in this slot. And guess, what, here comes another one. Flickorna tar över, as they say in sunny Örebro. Now, Sahlene could only manage a pitiful third in her contest, and she was […]
#ESC25: Best Eurovision lyric Part I As we know, a song can live or die on that killer lyric, and could even rely on a single line in that lyric. We at Eurovision Ireland have had a look through the lyrics of the songs competing in Basel, and […]
#ESC25: The Basel Media Centre As ever, the media centre is always where some of the important action takes place. Eurovision Ireland got to Basel’s early, and managed to shoot a short video before it started filling up. Just so you know, it’s usually an ice hockey stadium. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sahlene is 49 today That thing when your country wins, meaning you have to host next year. If you’re that winning broadcaster, it must be a year-long headache. Venue, date, theme, hosts – they all must be a nightmare. On top of all that, you still need […]
#ESC25: Eurovision Ireland interviews… Klemen from Slovenia Eurovision Ireland caught up with Klemen Slakonja. As you know, he’s performing Slovenia’s song How much time do we have left at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in Basel. He told us about celebrating Eurovision winners, his ideal duet partner, and […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emilija Kokić is 57 today Do you have a favourite Eurovision band, particularly one from the 20th Century? A few have won the big prize, but far fewer than you would think. In the late 1980s, the then Yugoslavia got the wind in the sails and sent […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kojo from Finland is 72 today In our favourite TV show, it’s easy to be winners one day, tail-enders the next. Hero to zero, or vice versa. It’s all good fun. We love them all, as they’ve done something most of us will never do. Today’s birthday […]
