#BIRTHDAY: Raphael from Spain is 78 today It must be galling when your country wins, and you went and performed for them the year before that win. Obviously, there have been occasions where a country has won (at least) two years running. It must have been even worse […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anjeza Shahini from Albania is 34 today Cast your mind back, if you can, to when your country first took part in the Eurovision Song Contest. A time for optimism and hope. Who knows, that win or good placing was just a few voters away. Naturally, there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Massimo Ranieri from Italy is 70 today Our favourite TV has always attracted bigger names, who quite happily mix with those rising stars looking for their big break. Take the Sanremo Festival for example. There are competitions for established and new stars. Talking of Italy, today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Saara Aalto from Finland is 34 today Our friends in Finland have had a very spotty time at Eurovision. Only one win in xxx years, and very little else in the higher positions. It matters not, especially to the fans. They will love certain countries/acts/songs, however well […]
#BIRTHDAY: Levina from Germany is 30 today It’s all very well celebrating winners. They deserve their praise as they’ve finished the top in their field. But for every winner, there are plenty of non-winners. Some being more non-winner than others. Our friends in Germany haven’t had the easiest […]

#ESC2021: Eurovision Ireland reviews… Part VII: The Rest of the West The Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam is getting ever closer. We at Eurovision Ireland are ready for it, and our coverage will continue whether you want it to or not. As a way to keep us occupied […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ketil Stokkan from Norway is 65 today We all know that every country has a living Mr and Ms Eurovision. Some places have clear leaders. But some other countries have some healthy competition. Norway’s Mr Eurovision sadly died last year. No one can ever really replace him. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Scott Fitzgerald from the UK is 73 today Do you like a close contest? That show where more than one country can win, even going down to the last vote. It’s less likely these days, with bigger scores and more countries. The close contest did happen several […]
#BIRTHDAY: Fabrizio Faniello from Malta is 40 today Think of a small country. Now think of a smaller one. Is it Malta? It’s not always lumped with the European microstates, but it isn’t exactly large. And if it won the big prize at the Eurovision? It would easily […]
