#BIRTHDAY: Marko Kon from Serbia is 51 today Do you have countries out there who you really think can do no wrong? You stand by all of their songs, however popular they are with the fans and general public? Or can your favourite country have an off year? […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eve Graham from the UK is 80 today Is it a day for you? Well, the sun may be shining, you’re having a break from the daily grind, and you’re reading this website. So it must be good! Of course, you’re here for a birthday, and it […]
#BIRTHDAY: Géraldine from Switzerland is 77 today 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 to 1967, […]
