#BIRTHDAY: Paula Seling from Romania is 42 today It’s always good to see instruments on a stage, and even better of the singers are playing them. And it’s a bonus if they’re actually playing them, and not just miming playing them. Sadly, we now live in a world […]
#BIRTHDAY: Giorgos Alkaios from Greece is 49 today To be true to your own country’s sound or not? That is the question. If you do, you get kudos in your own country but might be seen as a novelty by certain others. Back in 2010, Greece sent today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Josh Dubovie from the UK is 30 today Our friends in the UK seem to be in a rut at the moment, and they don’t seem to know how to get out of it. Since the heady days at the end of the 20th Century, they’ve been […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tomas N’evergreen from Denmark is 51 today What do you think of the duo? A good idea? It’s true that with two people sharing the load, it takes some of the stress out of being on a massive stage. And as a viewer, it’s likely you might […]

#BIRTHDAY: Kristína from Slovakia is 33 today Are there any countries you’d like to see in the 2021 edition of our favourite TV show, that weren’t going to be there in 2020? A new country perhaps? Or one that hasn’t been there for a while? Today we focus […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jon Lilygreen from Cyprus is 33 today We have a false flagger today. Now that term can sometimes be derogatory, but it doesn’t need to be. Each broadcaster can make any rules they want, within reason. So if they want someone not from their country, fair enough. […]
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? In our ‘Real Me’ articles, we get to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Filipa Azevedo from Portugal is 29 today What were you doing 10 years ago? Were you an ardent fan? Had you even discovered the contest? Or were you thinking it was time to take up hang-gliding instead of staying in on a Saturday night in May? If […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lena from Germany is 29 today The 2020 Eurovision season is over. Or at least would have been over, had it happened on Saturday. But birthdays go on. For some birthday at this time of year, we might still have been in a Eurovision season. Is it […]

BIRTHDAY: Aisha from Latvia is 36 today Do you ever go to the contest? If so, are there countries you wouldn’t visit because they’re too expensive, too distant or just too loony? Are you would you be happy with anywhere? Our friends in Norway have a very high […]
