BIRTHDAY: Lize Marke from Belgium is 83 today To start off this festive month, we’re going back in time. You might have been alive in 1965, but do you remember today’s song? The set alone must have cost, well a tiny amount to set up. Anyway, 1965 was […]
BIRTHDAY: Hugo Sigal from Belgium is 72 today We celebrate the winners here. We also celebrate the also-rans. And, indeed, we celebrate the last places too. After all, there are many last-placed songs that are better known than the songs that beat them. Today we take a trip […]
BIRTHDAY: Ingeborg from Belgium is 53 today Do you remember thirty years ago? The world was a very different place. We were in sunny Switzerland for our favourite TV show. There were no bloodbath-style semi-finals. And the United Kingdom did better than they do today. As it was […]

BIRTHDAY: Reynaerdt from Belgium is 64 today If you can cast your mind back to 1956 – never forget your heritage – you’ll know seven countries took part. Look them up. Fast forward to 2019, and each of those seven has won at least once. Of those seven, […]
BIRTHDAY: Jacques Zegers from Belgium is 72 today What do you think of the stages? Are they too over the top? Do they compliment a song perfectly? And do performers need to make the most of them? Back in 1984, we had a typical stage for the age. […]
BIRTHDAY: Blanche from Belgium is 20 today You wait ages for a Belgian performer to come along, and then two appear on consecutive days. Well, Belgium have been participating since 1795, only missing three years. So there are a lot of singers to choose from. As you’ll know, […]
BIRTHDAY: Lisa del Bo from Belgium is 58 today Do you ever hear a song and think that it sounds a lot like another song? It’s not quite plagiarism, but there are similarities that you can’t ignore. The plagiarism allegation is levelled at songs every year, usually without […]
