#BIRTHDAY: Vicky Rosti from Finland is 65 today Do you have a list of your favourites songs per country? Maybe you think Quedate conmigo is the best Spanish song ever. Or that Nel blu dipinto di blu is the best Italian song of all time. Or what can […]
#BIRTHDAY: Seyyal Taner from Türkiye is 71 today Do you want someone who made an impression when she took part in our favourite TV programme? One who’s performance will leave you out of breath. Back in 1987 we were in plucky little Belgium for the biggest contest ever […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lotta Engberg from Sweden is 60 today We like to think that most of the best songs to come from Sweden were in the 1980s. Classic after classic after classic. Well, for us they are anyway. Sometimes the saying about less being more is a wise one. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Umberto Tozzi from Italy is 71 today Let’s go back to the 1980s. A world of orchestras, big hair, big shoulders, big everything. And a regular supply of the same countries taking part year in year out. That doesn’t always mean it was a bad thing. Our […]

#BIRTHDAY: Anne-Cathrine Herdorf from Denmark is 55 today If there’s one country that you can rely on, it’s our friends in Denmark. Yes, they took a few years out in the 1960s and 1970s. But they’re a firm fixture, and even win from time to time. Being present […]
#BIRTHDAY: Søren Bundgaard from Denmark is 66 today We often discuss the idea of a gimmick on here. Sometimes they work, like a job lot of waving cats. Sometimes not, in the case of a giant apricot stone. Of course, the gimmick doesn’t have to be inanimate. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alexia from Cyprus is 58 today I’m feeling old today. I remember songs from the 1980s as if they were yesterday. And here we are in the third decade of the 21st Century. There’s a story I love about today’s birthday girl Αλέξια Βασιλείου/Alexia Vasiliou. Our host […]
