#BIRTHDAY: Bacchelli from Spain is 69 today No country currently taking part (that’s previously won) has been waiting longer for their next win than Spain. It’s over 50 years since they topped the rankings, a year after their previous win. But at least they’re trying. One of those […]
#BIRTHDAY: Björn Skifs from Sweden is 74 today Over the years, many acts have tried on more than one occasion to win the top prize in our favourite TV show. Even places like Sweden, a country which has so much talent that suits the Eurovision Song Contest. Today’s […]

BIRTHDAY: Jean Gabilou from France is 76 today France are good at Eurovision. Well, they have been in the past. And anyone can win our favourite TV show. And wouldn’t you love a contest in Paris? And that’s a lot of ‘ands’. We can always dream. But it’s […]
