#BIRTHDAY: Mariella Farré from Switzerland is 61 today Our friends in Switzerland are desperate for their third win. Desperate I tell you. After leading (or co-leading) the winners table for three years, they’ve been stuck on two wins for 35 years. And they’ve had some close calls since. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Takis Biniaris from Greece is 68 today Being last to perform at our favourite TV show must be at least as tricky as performing first. If you’re on first, you’ve got an audience to warm up. If you’re on last, you’ve had to watch everyone else perform. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Al Bano from Italy is 80 today Our friends in Italy are a very musical bunch. ‘Only’ three wins, but with the capability to win far more often should they choose to. And they even choose the range of configurations, from soloists to groups. And even, occasionally, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lill Lindfors from Sweden is 83 today Yesterday we had a lady from Sweden in this slot. And guess, what, here comes another one. Flickorna tar över, as they say in sunny Örebro. Now, Sahlene could only manage a pitiful third in her contest, and she was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Christian from Ireland is 58 today It’s often interesting how certain Eurovision stars crop up in the most interesting of places.

#BIRTHDAY: Gary Lux from Austria is 64 today What was the best contest of all time? Yes, it was 1985. It’s been scientifically proven*. So any act that took part in that contest in Göteborg should be very proud of themselves. After all, when Lys Assia is the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Paloma San Basilio from Spain is 72 today We often get massive stars taking part in our favourite TV show. They may not be household names worldwide, but it doesn’t mean they’re not respected in their sphere. Today’s birthday girl Paloma Cecilia San Basilio Martínez is a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Adelaide from Portugal is 62 today Did you remember the contest in Portugal in 2018? Do you still dream of the sun, the sea, the pasteis de nada? Do you think that we should have already been there? I can think of several examples of when Portugal […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kirsten Siggaard from Denmark is 68 today I know, I know. We’ve had too much obscurity of late. Songs you may have seen once and forgotten about have their place. Today is different. First, today’s song comes from the scientifically-proven best Eurovision of all time. And it’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Margo from Luxembourg is 61 today I know you love a song that crosses the boundaries of our different tastes, and is something that can do no wrong. Today must fit that bill if any song can. It has almost everything. Three songwriters, of which two are […]
