#BIRTHDAY: Gérard Lenorman from France is 80 today Our favourite TV show has a rich history, and it’s good to dig deep sometimes, to pick out those songs you won’t here every day. They won’t feature in a Top 250, or in a Eurovision disco. But they’re still […]
#LATVIA: And the winner is… The 2025 SUPERNOVA Selection has just ended and we have a winner in Latvia. After a combination of public and jury voting, the song going to Basel in May will be Tautumeitas with “Bur man laimi”. What do you think of Tautumeitas chances? […]
