#BIRTHDAY: David D’Or from Israel is 57 today There’s a song that contains the lyric “On a cloudy day”. It almost invites three dots after it, where you can fill in your own conclusion. On a cloudy day… you can see Carola’s wind machine. For example. Actually, today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jonatan Cerrada is 37 today Eurovision can throw up interesting collaborations. To start with, we have the performers born in one country representing another. These are often culturally similar – I’m looking at you Luxembourg. But it can go further. There are writers that peddle their songs […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jari Sillanpää from Finland is 57 today It’s opening song time again. And not just any old opening song. Oh no. This was has a special place in Eurovision history. It was the first song in the first semi-final in the host country. Yes, there have been […]

#BIRTHDAY: Deen from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 40 today As we know, Eurovision throws up performances as well as songs. Do they detract, or does a song need some form of gimmick to do well? St Salvador of Sobral didn’t think so, but they do sometimes help. If […]

#BIRTHDAY: Sanda Ladoși from Romania is 52 today A whole host of countries have yet to finish first at our favourite TV show. Will one of them break that duck this year? Or will it be a ‘popular’ Nordic win yet again? I’d like to see a new country’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sertab from Turkey is 57 today Yesterday we had one of an esteemed of individuals who got no points. Today, we have the opposite. That’s a contest winner to you and me. It came as a shock to a lot of us when our friends in Turkey […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ludwig Galea from Malta is 44 today Are you a fan of the semi-final tomfoolery? Do you think our favourite TV show should be one evening a year? Or is more better? Do you like those songs that make it out of the semi-finals more than the […]
#BIRTHDAY: Chris Doran from Ireland is 42 today One of these days, Ireland will win again. There, it’s out there. It might not be for a few years, but it’ll happen. That is, as long as they keep taking part. For now, at least, that seems highly likely. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jónsi from Iceland is 44 today We move north after our little sojourn into the Balkan world. And to someone who has been on that stage. Once alone, and once with a pal. You see it’s true that some just can’t get enough of the heady Eurovision […]
