BIRTHDAY: Michèle Torr is 73 today Some people just can’t get enough of our favourite TV show. And that’s not just the fans, who are making the best of things without their annual May fix of fun. Instead, there’s plenty out there. Talking of people who can’t get […]
BIRTHDAY: Dickie Rock from Ireland is 83 today Now I know what you’re thinking. Two Irish birthdays in a row? You might think there’s a plot afoot. There isn’t. As you know, the birthdays I pick are all random. But as we have an Irish birthday, we’ve gone […]
BIRTHDAY: Tereza from Yugoslavia is 81 today There’s a term called false-flagging. It’s when you come from one country but do stuff internationally for another.

BIRTHDAY: Dominique Walter from France is 77 today Can you see it? The dust settling, that is? Over another riotous cavalcade of quality song? We’ve had 64 of them now, so the EBU must be doing something right. A whole lot of contests mean that we have a […]
BIRTHDAY: Lill Lindfors form Sweden is 69 today We love people who can multi-task. If they can sing, write, dance, present, they’re a good old sort in our book. Today’s birthday girl has done most of the above. She was one of the first to sing in our […]
