#BIRTHDAY: Roger Pontare from Sweden is 70 today Hang on to your hats. To some people, today’s song comes from the only country that matters in Eurovision. No, it’s not Malta, although would you be happier if it was? Of course I’m talking about Sweden. Some would like […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ines from Estonia is 40 today You can always tell when a country is seriously gunning for a win. They seem to up their game, just to bring themselves to Europe’s attention. And then, bang, they have that win under their belt. Today’s birthday girl Ines (née […]
#BIRTHDAY: Stefan Raab from Germany is 54 today Every country has its Mr Eurovision. And, of course, its Mrs/Ms Eurovision too. But some national claims to title are easier to judge. In Germany, you may think it can only be a certain Mr Siegel, with perhaps a Mr […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alsou from Russia is 37 today We all remember the winners of our favourite TV show. But do we also remember those runners-up, those bridesmaid, those ‘first losers’? Some of them maybe should be more renowned than the song that beat them. We also have our favourite […]
BIRTHDAY: Niels Olsen from Denmark is 66 today From high to low to high. Well, from high to ‘High’ to high our Eurovision birthdays take us. Yes, we have another winner today. Some winning songs pass us by, but others make an impression for years and years. Back […]

BIRTHDAY: Claudette Pace from Malta is 52 today We’re already 20 contests or so into the 21st Century. Where has the time gone? It only seems like yesterday since we were at Globen for the first time, when it was a shiny building with a large ornamental lake […]
BIRTHDAY: Jane Bogaert from Switzerland is 52 today It’s a scary fact that there will be participants in our favourite TV show who were born after 2000. Does that make you feel old? It does me. Having these people who never knew the 20th Century scares me so […]
BIRTHDAY: Ines from Estonia is 38 today Back in the mists of time, just after the Eurovision Song Contest started, in the 1990s, a certain musical country from the Baltic started doing really well. So much so, that a win wasn’t far away. I jest of course. The […]
