#BIRTHDAY: Paulo de Carvalho from Portugal is 75 today very song – in it’s own way – makes its own piece of history. It could be a country’s début song. It could be their lowest ever scorer. Or it could make its mark for wider reasons. In 1974, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cindy Berger from Germany is 74 today Duets can be an odd thing. Get it right, and you can feel the chemistry oozing from the two singers. Get it wrong, and all you get is two singers facing each other shouting as loudly as they can. A […]

#BIRTHDAY: Anni-Frid Lyngstad is 76 today Just once in a while, I’ll pick a birthday for a member of a group. And I’ve gone obscure. Possibly. Let’s see if her group’s song rings any bells at all. I understand it did OK in the 1970s. I jest of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marinella from Greece is 83 today Every country has to start somewhere. The début song for a country won’t make or break, but it’s always one to look out for. And some have even won from a very early participation. Our friends in Greec had to wait […]

BIRTHDAY: Benny Andersson from Sweden is 73 today It’s legend time. A real legend. Yeah, the term is used to describe anyone who came fifth in a Tuesday night semi-final. But this legend won our favourite TV show – with three others – and has remained high profile […]
