#BIRTHDAY: Max Jason Mai from Slovakia is 34 today I know we went old yesterday. So to make up for it, I’ve come into the 21st Century. After all, anyone who meets me would say I was balanced. But onto the music. Today’s birthday boy Max Jason Mai […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ivi Adamou from Cyprus is 29 today You can tell when some countries are really out for a win. And that is really out for a win. They up their game, they maybe get in some of the best writers and performers, and hope for the best. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rona Nishliu from Albania is 36 today Do you remember when the contest went east? About as east as it’s possible to go whilst still being in Europe? It was a wild old affair, and the host country couldn’t do enough – even building a venue. There […]

#BIRTHDAY: Joan Franka from the Netherlands is 32 today You want to make an impression on a stage? Make your outfit memorable. Even more so if your song isn’t. It’s a golden rule. I’m being harsh. Today’s birthday girl Joan Franka (née Ayten Kalan) had a decent enough […]
#BIRTHDAY: Filipa Sousa from Portugal is 37 today Portugal. What music do you think of when someone says that word to you? Songs about former colonies perhaps? Or young ladies in boots in Bergen? Or, more likely, the fado. The fado can be a beautiful style, and the […]
