#BIRTHDAY: 25 Apr – Aysel from Azerbaijan is 37 Do you have an all-time favourite duo? Is it one of those pairing that achieve notoriety, like a certain Belgian twosome from 1973? Or someone a lot more recent like two Albanians in 2025? Either way, we love duets […]
#BIRTHDAY: 23 Apr – Marty Brem from Austria is 67 As we know, our friends in Austria have been eager participants for many years. Despite a few wobbles here and there, they’ve still managed three wins to date. How soon can they manage a fourth? Some of those […]
#BIRTHDAY: 22 Apr – Vikki from the UK is 67 today The United Kingdom used to be one of the countries that ruled the roost at our favourite TV programme. They saw coming fourth as a relative failure. Then came the free language rule and everything changed. Talking […]
#BIRTHDAY: 21 Apr – Marius Bear from Switzerland is 33 Do you love a good lyric? Something that really makes you think? Something nicely profound maybe? Or are you more a fan of a ‘la la la’ school of authorship? In 2022, today’s birthday boy Marius Bear (né […]

#BIRTHDAY: 19 Apr – Ingrid Peters from Germany is 71 Do you remember the contests back in the 1980s? They were a different affair to now, with countries often finishing in similar positions year in, year out. Our friends in Germany only managed one win, but also managed […]
#BIRTHDAY: 18 Apr – Géraldine from Switzerland is 80 We love vintage here. There is more to Eurovision than someone clucking in ultra high definition. There were days when we had nothing more than respectable black & white, and an altogether more demure look. Today we go back […]
#BIRTHDAY: 17 Apr – Mariana from Greece is 71 As we often say, there were Eurovision Song Contests before the year 2000. Can you imagine that? A 20th Century contest? Well, some of them even churned out good songs. Can you believe it? Today’s song comes from the […]
#BIRTHDAY: 16 Apr – Mikel Herzog from Spain is 66 Isn’t it often the way that you can tell where someone’s from, just by their name? If it ends in ‘dottir’, it’s usually Icelandic. Or if it ends in ‘ić’, it’s usually from a lot further south-east. So […]
#BIRTHDAY: 15 Apr – Luca Barbarossa from Italy is 65 There are some countries that seem to ‘get’ Eurovision. Three countries that have won since 2020 mainly. These include that boot-shaped country, and you can never write them off. Our friends in Italy have at times had a […]
