#BIRTHDAY: Lisa Angell from France is 55 today You may think that when Portugal won, they had been mightily unlucky to only win at its 376th attempt. Well I guess they have, but now the most appearances without a win honour lies with Malta and Iceland – depending on […]
#BIRTHDAY: Safura from Azerbaijan is 31 today Do you ever wish for more ethnic songs in Eurovision? By ethnic I mean songs reflecting the traditional music of the country it represents. Or do you like music you’re familiar with? Our friends in Azerbaijan have often used songwriters from […]
#BIRTHDAY: Peter Horten from Austria is 82 today Would you be happy to be a home entrant. The one that the host broadcaster has picked to win (or otherwise), and have a massive home audience hoping that you can win. It’s a lot of pressure, especially when the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sasha Son from Lithuania is 40 today Another Monday and another birthday, and it’s from our friends in Lithuania. As you’ll know, they often have an interesting selection process that seems to last some 51 weeks. Or is that just how it feels? This year’s paid dividends, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Imri Ziv from Israel is 32 today You want bang up to date? Well, something from the heady decade that was the 2010s? When the fun and games were in beautiful Kyiv to be exact. And we have plenty of choice. It sometimes happens that a song […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katarína Hasprová from Slovakia is 51 today Today is another in our occasional series of countries we wish were back in our favourite TV show. They may have legitimate reasons for not being there anymore, but it doesn’t stop us wanting them back. Our friends in Slovakia […]
