BIRTHDAY: Dana from Ireland is 68 today Eurovision announcement! What could be better? Well, an announcement that it’s your own city, or that you put a bet on the host city three months ago at 100/1 and it’s come up trumps. It’s apt that today we found out […]
BIRTHDAY: Gry Johansen from Denmark is 55 today The 1980s. What a fine, fine decade it was. Full of big clothes, big hair and the occasional big song. It was the calm before the storm of a whole host of new countries joining in the following decade. Back […]
BIRTHDAY: Soluna Samay representing Denmark is 29 today Do you know how it feels to be a bit early for something? It could be getting there early for that hot date. Or waiting for your favourite shop to open ready for its sale. Or it could be early […]
BIRTHDAY: Alenka Gotar from Slovenia is 42 today Does a song need a big voice? Well it depends on the song. Take a song like Kedvesem, and a big voice might not be quite right. But today’s song needs a big voice. Big voice usually means something operatic, […]

BIRTHDAY: Kristína from Slovakia is 32 today Next on our occasional series of “which country would you like to see return?” is one that first took part in 1993, and in eight appearances didn’t really do that well. Wrongly, obviously. It’s Slovakia, that gem of a country in […]
BIRTHDAY: Ilinca from Romania is 21 today It would be a dull old Eurovision if all the songs sounded the same. They obviously don’t, otherwise they’d all finish up with the same number of points. But whilst they all want to stand out, some stand out because they […]
BIRTHDAY: Jari Sillanpää from Finland is 54 today Our favourite song contest isn’t always all about the singing. Yes, an actual song won this year, but sometimes the medium of dance tries to get in on the act. There have been many songs about this medium, and includes […]
BIRTHDAY: Kølig Kaj from Denmark is 48 today Do you have a favourite style of music? Is it Schlager? Or something less predictable? If you’re into rap, then today’s song will be for you. Some countries experiment with this form of music from time to time. Either as […]
