#BIRTHDAY: Dan Bittman from Romania is 63 today We all have our favourite decades. I loved the 1980s, as they were my formative years. However, the 1990s aren’t without their charm, as it was then that we started to see our favourite TV show expand eastwards. Whilst there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Willeke Alberti from the Netherlands is 80 today It’s always hoped that a good song, a popular song, will score well. Especially if it’s well-performed by a seasoned singer who can turn their hand to anything. Eurovision attracts singers of all ages, and it’s good to see […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marie Bergman from Sweden is 74 today Hold onto your hats, as we have a Swedish birthday today. Hats is an apt word, as today’s clip shows someone wearing a hat. Inside. How very daring. Today’s birthday girl Marie Bergman never actually participated as a soloist, but […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alejandro Abad from Spain is 62 today You know that our favourite TV show is a contest for songwriters? They should – arguably – be getting top billing on their songs, as they’re the ones who’ve carefully crafted a masterpiece for our listening pleasure. But songwriters have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tony Cetinski from Croatia is 55 today For many performers, Eurovision gets into their blood. Many deny it, but plenty would love to come back and have another chance at singing in front of 100 million people, even if it’s just for three minutes. For them, it […]
#ESC1994: It was 30 years ago today… If you can cast your mind back to 1994, you may know that on this day – which some celebrate as Walpurgis Night – a phenomenon was launched upon the world that remains legendary to this day. On 30 April 1994, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alma Čardžić from Bosnia and Herzegovina is 56 today Eurovision is a drug. Once you’ve been on that stage, you can’t get enough. You want more, and more, and more. Look at Peter, Sue & Marc. Look at Valentina Monetta. OK, we’ll stop at Peter, Sue & […]
#BIRTHDAY: Duilio from Switzerland is 51 today Did you ever envy Switzerland? Not only are they good at chocolate and cheese, but during those no-free language rule days, they had a choice of four of them. And they used them too. You might think it was all French […]
#BIRTHDAY: Edyta Górniak from Poland is 51 today Do you ever think that some broadcasters enter a song in our favourite TV show but don’t actually want to win? It might be due to budgetary constraints, or just no venue big enough. Or it could be because the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Frances Ruffelle from the UK is 58 today Remember the United Kingdom of stuff? They regularly used to do rather well in Eurovision circles, until those pesky ‘New Europeans’ came along. They still come up with sparks of brilliance, but Europe doesn’t seem to think they have […]
