#BIRTHDAY: 7 Apr – Noëlle Cordier from France is 82 Your eyes won’t be deceiving you today. Yes, it’s fun and games in black & white. But don’t let that put you off. Some of the songs from those monochrome days are easily as good as some we […]
#BIRTHDAY: 6 Apr – Maria Rådsten from Sweden is 60 Our friends in Sweden sometimes get a bad rap for sending the same sort of over-produced stuff to Eurovision year after year. Yes, it sometimes pays dividends, and they are one of the few countries that seem to […]
#BIRTHDAY: 5 Apr – Kiev Connolly from Ireland is 70 You have to remember that nations put their reputations on the lines every time they take part in our favourite TV show. It can be a gamble. Will you win? Will you earn a creditable placing? Or will […]
#BIRTHDAY: 4 Apr – Maribelle from the Netherlands is 66 Pretty soon, the fans of our favourite TV show are due to be gathering in Austria for two weeks for thrills, spills and the occasional piece of quality music. Cast your mind back to 2020, when things were […]

#BIRTHDAY: 31 Mar – Samanta Tīna from Latvia is 37 For some, taking part in our favourite TV show becomes all-consuming. They try, and try, and try to win that golden ticket to a city somewhere in or near Europe, desperately wanting the chance to show us all […]
#BIRTHDAY: 30 Mar – Dori Ghezzi from Italy is 80 We like to celebrate big birthdays here not that lesser birthdays are less important. But we like to remember our history, and tell everyone that Eurovision isn’t just a 21st Century phenomenon. Today’s birthday girl Dori Ghezzi might […]
#BIRTHDAY: 29 Mar – Barei from Spain is 44 They say there’s nothing new in the world of Eurovision. The culturally similar countries may prefer their own songs. Certain personalities will always turn up. And there will always debate on whether the right song won. In 2016, our […]
