#BIRTHDAY: 29 June – Gitte Hænning is 80 Remember Germany? They win very occasionally and also finish near the bottom of the table? A country in the middle of Europe bordering lots of places? Well they don’t always win or finish badly. And they don’t always have a […]
#BIRTHDAY: 28 June – Tanja Ribič from Slovenia is 58 What style of song do you like best? Does it need costume changes, clucking, or maybe the odd penguin on stage? Or do you like a song just to be a song without all the bells and whistles? […]
#BIRTHDAY: 27 June – Petra Frey from Austria is 48 Sometimes when we’re picking a birthday song, it makes us feel old. We’ve been watching contests since 19xx so have seen a few acts in our time. And some of them are a lot older now than we […]
