THE REAL ME: Eurovision memories from John Stanton We at Eurovision Ireland want to hear from you. Is there a song that really means something to you? Something that made you really fall in love with Eurovision? Something that you associate with a particular event in your life? […]
#BIRTHDAY: William Mangion from Malta is 62 today There are some special contests where things change. 1971 was one instance (previews started). 2004 was another (semi-finals). But perhaps one of the most important was 1993. The EBU had started to embrace those further east places that wanted to […]
#IRELAND: Review of 1993 National Final As you will know, Ireland has had seven victories at the Eurovision Song Contest. It leads the table of winners. But how did this happen? We at Eurovision Ireland went back in time to 1993, to see what Niamh Kavanagh had to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katy Garbi from Greece is 59 today Do you remember when our friends in Greece were struggling to get any success in our favourite TV show? Those times have changed, and Greece can mix it with the best of them now. In the 1990s, there was a […]
#BIRTHDAY: Silje Vige from Norway is 36 today Can you imagine how it feels if you’re closing a contest. And not just closing any old contest, but closing the biggest contest the world had ever seen at the time. And imaging doing all of this if you were […]
BIRTHDAY: Anabela from Portugal is 43 today It’s an all points west birthday today. Our favourite TV show regularly moves around Europe’s quarters, showing us the delights of the varied continent. Back in 1993, the contest was in Millstreet and had never been further west. It was years […]
BIRTHDAY: Annie Cotton from Switzerland is 44 today We always say anyone can win our favourite TV show. All it needs is a perfect storm of stuff, and even the country that normally stays in the semi-final can do well. I say this because of what our friends […]
BIRTHDAY: Enrico Ruggeri from Italy is 62 today Yesterday I briefly mention our friends in Italy. Well, as you may know, their relationship with our favourite Tv show has been up and down. They had the big gap between 1997 and 2011 and concentrated on their beloved Sanremo […]
BIRTHDAY: Sonia from the UK is 48 today Do you wish that contests were close these days. The current scoring makes things a little more dramatic, but there were days when it genuinely came down to the last set of votes. In the 1990s there were a couple […]
BIRTHDAY: Barbara Dex from Belgium is 45 today You know sometimes when you look at song, and then realise it was in our favourite TV show over 25 years ago. It really makes you feel old. I was bumbling along nicely until I noticed today’s song and its […]
