#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 […]
LEAPDAY: Songs in the Key of 29 It only comes but once every four years, so why not celebrate it. If it’s your birthday today, then many happy returns from the Eurovision Ireland team. And how best to commemorate this most elusive of dates? Why, with songs that […]
BIRTHDAY: Daniel Diges from Spain is 39 today Eurovision is usually a very happy affair. You can feel the love when the acts are out on stage. The crowd all wants them to succeed, so there’s lots of cheering and smiles for every act. Of course, some people […]
