#BIRTHDAY: Luca Barbarossa from Italy is 61 today All Eurovision eyes are increasingly focussing on the oddly anatomically shaped country that is Italy (we understand some riotous cavalcade of quality song takes place there next month). And so are we! Our friends in Italy have at times had […]
#BIRTHDAY: Scott Fitzgerald from the UK is 73 today Do you like a close contest? That show where more than one country can win, even going down to the last vote. It’s less likely these days, with bigger scores and more countries. The close contest did happen several […]
#OBITUARY: Liam Reilly has died aged 65 Legendary Irish singer/songwriter Liam Reilly died aged 65 on 1 January. An incredibly popular figure in the Irish entertainment industry, the Eurovision community will best remember him for coming second in the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest in Zagreb. In 1978 he […]
#OBITUARY: Reynaert from Belgium has died aged 65 Joseph Reynaerts, known by his stage name Reynaert, has died as a result of COVID-19. He participated for Belgium in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest, held at the RDS Simmonscourt Pavilion in Dublin. He performed the song Laissez briller le […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maxi Garden from Germany is 46 today Duos come in strange pairings sometimes. We’ve had the lovers, the siblings, the twins, and the people put together as a result of a TV talent show. But then there is another type of duo. This is the parent and […]
BIRTHDAY: Luca Barbarossa from Italy is 59 today From Italy Minor to Italy major in 24 hours. Talk about convenience, even though if it’s your birthday in these countries, it’s likely you’ll be having a small celebration. Stay safe, people. Our friends in Italy have at times had […]
BIRTHDAY: Karoline Krüger from Norway is 50 today If you’re really into your contest, you’ll be watching all of the national finals, semi-finals and miscellaneous heats from around Europe as broadcasters pick their songs for Rotterdam. Some don’t bother asking the public, but some like a whole series […]
BIRTHDAY: Gérard Lenorman is 75 today Our favourite TV show has a rich history, and it’s good to dig deep sometimes, to pick out those songs you won’t here every day. They won’t feature in a Top 250, or in a Eurovision disco. But they’re still valued. Back […]
BIRTHDAY: Lara Fabian is 50 today Every now and then, a song comes along that you could call a slow burner. It has no bells and whistles. It has no fancy costumes. It’s an honest song sung, well, honestly. It does well, but maybe could have done better. […]
BIRTHDAY: Yardena Arazi from Israel is 68 today It’s time for another contender for Mr/Mrs/Ms/Mx Eurovision. Each country will have them, and when you’ve got someone who’s hosted a contest, and performed in a contest, they must be in with a chance of their national title. In 1976, […]
BIRTHDAY: Reynaerdt from Belgium is 64 today If you can cast your mind back to 1956 – never forget your heritage – you’ll know seven countries took part. Look them up. Fast forward to 2019, and each of those seven has won at least once. Of those seven, […]
