#BIRTHDAY: Peppino di Capri from Italy is 82 today As we’ll all know, we should be in Italy next May for a riotous cavalcade of quality song. One thing that’s amongst the highlights is the home entry. Does the host broadcaster want to go for a double, or […]
#OBITUARY: Liam Reilly has died aged 65 Legendary Irish singer/songwriter Liam Reilly died aged 65 on 1 January.
