#BIRTHDAY: Ajda Pekkan from Türkiye is 77 today What’s the oddest subject of a Eurovision song you can think of? Many things have been covered, mostly about falling in love with someone, or falling out of love with someone. Today we have a song about fuel. No, not […]
#BIRTHDAY: José Cid from Portugal is 81 today I mention from time to time that we love someone who tries. Even though they’ll never be the continent’s favourite. Often through no fault of their own. Actually, today’s birthday boy did really well for his native Portugal, and his […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samira Bensaïd from Morocco is 65 today If you were the only person ever to represent your country, how would you feel? Would you want your country to send participate again, which would sully your unique record? Or would you be happy that you’re unique? There is […]
#CHRISTMAS2022: Eurovision Ireland Advent Calendar Day 21 Christmas is a-coming, so we at Eurovision Ireland want to share some notable performances by Eurovision acts of festive songs. Some are standards, and some may be new to you. Today’s song is… Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
#BIRTHDAY: Paola from Switzerland is 72 today Our friends in Switzerland are in a curious situation. They have lots of languages to choose from, and they can confuse the average casual viewer by entering in a tongue we don’t always expect. Today’s birthday girl Paola Felix (née Paola […]
#OBITUARY: Vesa-Matti Loiri from Finland Finnish actor, comedian and musician Vesa-Matti Loiri has passed away aged 77. In Eurovision circles, he was most famous for performing in the 25th Eurovision Song Contest in The Hague with the song Huilumies. Vesa-Matti, sometimes known as just Matti, was born in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maggie MacNeal from the Netherlands is 72 today A host broadcaster never wants to win. They may tell you otherwise, but deep down they know that our favourite TV show is something that would get expensive if the hosts had it for a second – or even […]
#BIRTHDAY: Mattis Hætta from Norway is 63 today It’s always good when countries use their own languages to sing in. Or if a country also demonstrates their culture, even better. And if you’re from the northern end of our continent, then this could include a joik. A joik […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katja Ebstein from Germany is 77 today There is an elite bunch of people out there who have taken part more than once. It’s as if they can’t get enough of the Eurovision drug. And I don’t mean Ibuprofen. But that elite club has advanced membership for […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tomas Ledin from Sweden is 70 today Fans often mention Sweden as the pinnacle of our favourite TV show. Yes, they have had six wins, and you can never right them off. But there is that history, often revolving around their first winners. Back in 1980, broadcaster […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samira Bensaïd from Morocco is 64 today If you were the only person ever to represent your country, how would you feel? Would you want your country to send participate again, which would sully your unique record? Or would you be happy that you’re unique? There is […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vesa-Matti Loiri from Finland is 77 today For every Eurovision song there will be a fan of it. You name it, they will pick out the good points of every song. But it’s just possible that some aren’t really songs, more like cries for help. So it’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alan Sorrenti from Italy is 71 today I sometimes wonder why some countries seem to have this love/hate relationship with our favourite TV show. Money aside, some places don’t participate every year. Instead they like to pick and choose. Such is the case with our friends in […]
#HALL OF FAME: The first inductees Here at Eurovision Ireland, we want to celebrate those most illustrious people who have made our favourite TV the thing that it is today. In each edition, we’ll induct two performers from somewhere in Eurovision land. This Irish personality also won our […]
