#BIRTHDAY: 17 Sept – Lesley Roy from Ireland is 40 That class of 2020, eh? How unlucky were they? They get all dressed up and have nowhere in Rotterdam to go. That is, until 2021 when some of them get that second bite at the cherry. One of […]
#BIRTHDAY: 16 Sept – Claude from the Netherlands is 23 Our friends in the Netherlands have, of late, had a love/hate relationship with our favourite TV show. They sat out 2026 and, for all we know, may sit out 2027 too. To date, the last Dutch entry is […]
#BIRTHDAY: 14 Sept – Dida Drăgan from Romania is 80 There’s that twilight zone of Eurovision songs. We have the Grand Finalists basking in the sunshine of a Saturday night. Then we have the semi-finalists who know their place, and get many of the trappings of the host […]

#BIRTHDAY: 9 Sept – Sarah Bray from Luxembourg is 60 Who enjoyed the last Italian contest in 2022? They’ve hosted three times, and the never fail to disappoint. But let’s look back to the middle Italian contest. No, not his shenanigans. Today’s birthday girl Sarah Bray (née Monique […]
#BIRTHDAY: 7 Sept – Ami Aspelund from Finland is 73 Finland. Who doesn’t love Finland. A land of content people, vast expanses of nature and a language many people have been known to find incomprehensible unless there’s a “cha” or two involved. And it’s fair share of very […]
#BIRTHDAY: 6 Sept – Marlain from Cyprus is 48 Does luck play a part in Eurovision success (or lack of it)? Can your position in the running order help your chances? Has a song been sunk by what was on around it? Back in 1999 we had a […]
