#BIRTHDAY: Halla Margrét from Iceland is 60 today Back in the 1980s our favourite TV show was bumping along nicely. Lots of entries every year Lots of interesting languages. And lots of interesting results. Take Iceland for example. They débuted in 1986 and finished 16th. Oddly enough, in […]
#BIRTHDAY: Plastic Bertrand is 70 today It’s fair to say that our favourite TV show can launch careers. A certain foursome from Sweden perhaps. Or a false flagger singing for Switzerland. But it can also give that established artiste a further shot at fame. But for the known […]
#BIRTHDAY: Liliane Saint-Pierre from Belgium is 75 today We’re concentrating on plucky little Belgium today. Because they have to be commended for their sense of our-turn-ology. That is, with two major broadcasters, they are able to agree to alternate their years of participation. Even when the free language […]

#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: 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: Patricia Kraus from Spain is 59 today Do you wonder why some songs don’t do better? Perhaps, for example, it could be severe make-up. Or a mischievous green shawl that is eventually cast aside. Or backing guitarists trying to get in on the act. Today’s birthday girl […]
