BIRTHDAY: Lado Leskovar of Yugoslavia is 78 today What’s your favourite type of song? Is it one that celebrates love? Or one that tells us about what we’re doing to the planet? Or something darker? They all have a place in our favourite TV show. And back in […]
BIRTHDAY: Tonina Torrielli from Italy is 86 today Even though we were looking forward to a riotous cavalcade of quality song in Rotterdam in May, looking at the present isn’t what we always do here. It’s good to look at the past. After all, there were contests in […]
IRELAND: Fifty years since Dana If you were around 50 years ago tonight, you may have witnessed Ireland’s first ever win the Eurovision Song Contest. A mere five years after we saw Ireland début in Naples, Dana took home the prize at the RAI Theatre in Amsterdam. Dana, […]
BIRTHDAY: Stig van Eijk from Norway is 39 today Are you getting over the Eurovision that never was yet? Look at this way, there will be no Post Eurovision Depression in late May. And the best way to assuage any depression you might be feeling now is to […]

BIRTHDAY: Jamie-Lee from Germany is 22 today Yeah, it’s a dark day in our world. But life goes on. Things will be back to normal next year, with no virus to spoil our fun. As we know, six countries per year make it straight through to the Grand […]
BIRTHDAY: Tako Gachechiladze is 37 today Do you ever wonder what becomes of Eurovision stars after they’ve had their three minutes of fame? I’ll wager some of them go back to working in [insert coffee shop chain here]. Maybe some of them end up catching norovirus whilst working […]
BIRTHDAY: Linda Lepomme from Belgium is 65 today What’s your view in which is the best contest ever? Was it 2019? Is it another one from the 21st Century? Or is it one from longer ago? There’s a school of thought that the best contest of all time […]
BIRTHDAY: Kim Floor from Finland is 72 today For your viewing pleasure in these exceptional times, we’re going back to a simpler age. A time of cosy contests all over in one short evening. A time of two jurors per country and two jurors only. And a time […]
BIRTHDAY: Izhar Cohen is 69 today Everyone loves a winner. In fact, if you leave it at one appearance and one win, you’ll always be a winner. But why stop at one win? You could win twice. It’s been done. But it’s also very high-risk. Many have tried, […]
