#BIRTHDAY: Estíbaliz Uranga from Spain is 70 today Do you remember the 1970s? An interesting decade when the whole of Europe eventually went colour, replete with the garish outfits. Thankfully, some countries went through that stage fairly quickly. In 1975, we had a mix, and it looked like […]

#BIRTHDAY: Marion Rung from Finland is 77 today It was a big day yesterday if you were Finnish. It was Independence Day, where the great and the good get hosted at massive expense (it is Finland, don’t forget) by President Niinistö. It must be a good gig to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Copycat from Belgium is 56 today Along with the serious songs – the ballads, the rock songs, the raps – we have the occasional beast known as a novelty song. The often divide opinion, especially from the purists who want a song contest to be a song […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marcel Pavel from Romania is 63 today What’s your favourite ever Eurovision duet? Is it one from the 1950s when the two protagonists smooched for a little longer than was good for them? Or a pleasant little ditty that won in 1994? There are so many to […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hind from the Netherlands is 38 today The heart is a curious thing. It’s often shown as something red, cute and, well, heart-shaped. But if you physically held one, it probably wouldn’t quite look the same. Or give you the same feeling of delight. And there are […]
#BIRTHDAY: Səbinə Babayeva from Azerbaijan is 43 today It’s time for another one of our home entrants today. That poisoned chalice of wanting to win on your home turf, but not wanting to bankrupt your country. What do you do? Today’s birthday girl Səbinə Babayeva had that dilemma […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eva Boto from Slovenia is 27 today You have to feel for those countries that don’t make a Grand Final. After all, many of them are singing songs they were given, so often the fault should lie with the songwriter. Today’s birthday girl Eva Boto must have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Boggie from Hungary is 36 today It’s a truth that we miss our Magyar friends and we wanted them back. But it’s also true that they’ve tried a variety of musical styles down the years. What’s your preferred style? If it happens to be a soft ballad […]
#BIRTHDAY: Daz Sampson from the UK is 48 today The ‘novelty’ song. Every contest has them. Just look at Carola. I joke. Carola has never been a novelty. But these songs sometimes do far better than expected. And some we can just point and laugh at. I leave […]

#BIRTHDAY: Max Jason Mai from Slovakia is 34 today I know we went old yesterday. So to make up for it, I’ve come into the 21st Century. After all, anyone who meets me would say I was balanced. But onto the music. Today’s birthday boy Max Jason Mai […]

#BIRTHDAY: Shlomo Artzi from Israel is 73 today If you’re a new viewer to our favourite TV show, you might not know today’s song, as it doesn’t even come from this century. There were some crackers in the 20th Century, so we’ll leave it to you to decide […]
#BIRTHDAY: Andrius Pojavis from Lithuania is 39 today As we know, any country can win first prize at our favourite TV show. They could be finishing in the top three every year, or they could have that one wayward result that buckles the form. Our friends in Lithuania […]
