#BIRTHDAY: Darude from Finland is 45 today Can you spot a winner from a first listen? Yes? Well, could you spot a candidate for last place at first listen too? It can be tough at the top, but equally tough at the bottom. Imagine the scene. A certain […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jurij Veklenko from Lithuania is 30 today It must be a thankless task trying to make that first win for your country. For some, it was easier than others. Many people tried before Portugal triumphed, but Serbia got it at the first go. But it’s not just […]
#BIRTHDAY: Oto Nemsadze from Georgia is 31 today Do you ever spot when countries appear to put in songs they like, rather than ones they think can win our favourite TV show? You have to admire them for staying true to themselves. In Tel Aviv, Georgia sent today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nevena Božović from Serbia is 26 today It’s good to celebrate people in Eurovision circles that blaze a trail. Those that do achieve a first. Like Milly Scott for example. Or even Lys Assia. Today it’s birthday girl Невена Божовић/Nevena Božović. Why, you may ask, did she […]

BIRTHDAY: Jonida Maliqi from Albania is 37 today Did you enjoy the last Eurovision Song Contest. You must remember, it was in Tel Aviv. You were wearing your blue jumper. It hardly seems 10 months ago that we were by the sunny Mediterranean. Our friends in Albania, more […]
BIRTHDAY: Chingiz from Azerbaijan is 29 today Do you play any contests on repeat? Are you convinced that the xxth Eurovision Song Contest was the best one ever? Maybe your favourite in 2019. It has its high points, but I have other ones I like more. Talking of […]
BIRTHDAY: Roko from Croatia is 20 today Eurovision attracts singers both young and old. We’ve had nonagenarians on stage. And mere children. Well, not the children any more, but never forget our show’s history. Today we have a singer who was towards the younger end of the spectrum […]
