#BIRTHDAY: Renato from Malta is 69 today Our friends in Malta are now firmly in the Eurovision family. It wasn’t always so. After a few goes in the 1970s, they had a few years out and made a fresh start in the 1990s. It may seem odd that […]
BIRTHDAY: Kamil Mikulčík from Slovakia is 43 today Our friends at the EBU encourage as many countries as possible to take part in our favourite TV show. Some decide against it, either due to funding or lack of interest by the broadcaster. Us diehard fans would love to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Corinne Hermès is 59 today Remember Luxembourg? They used to take part in our favourite TV show. And they used to win. Not bad for a nugget of a country with a Grand Duke in charge. The year 1983 is a long time ago now, but it […]
#JESC2020: Eurovision Ireland reviews… Part I As you’ll know, November means Junior Eurovision. We at Eurovision Ireland review six of the songs that will be taking part in the broadcast on Sunday 29 November. Do we think there is a winner in this first half dozen? Do you […]

#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: Greta Salóme from Iceland is 34 today Many acts try and try again to win the grand prize in our favourite TV show. Some go it alone from their first appearance. Others like to start modestly, and build their way up. In 2012, old hand Jónsi represented […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elina Nechayeva from Estonia is 29 today How do you feel about the free language rule? Does it promote a song as many more people can possibly understand it, or do you think each country should stick to its roots? Our friends in Estonia have a language […]
#BIRTHDAY: Joëlle Ursull from France is 60 today It’s always a good thing when a country tries something different. There’s one thing for a formulaic song, but thinking outside the box can be a breath of fresh air. It can sometimes pay dividends too. In the 1990s, our […]
