#BIRTHDAY: Peppino di Capri from Italy is 85 today As we’ll all know, one of the best shows in the pre-Eurovision season comes from a place called Sanremo. These days, it’s used to select RAI’s entry, and it can be argued that Italy can win any time they […]
#BIRTHDAY: Samantha Janus-Womack from the UK is 51 today If you were an all-round entertainer, and an appearance in our favourite TV show was only one of the highlights of your career, would you embrace it, or try to shut it out? Today’s birthday girl Samantha Janus (now […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kim Jackson from Ireland is 58 today We love it when you keep coming back here. We hope you pay special attention to some of the birthdays, and even might like some of the choices. We’ve gone west today. Very west. To another singer who had a […]
