#BIRTHDAY: Hovi Star from Israel is 35 today It’s always worth remembering that our favourite TV show is a contest for writers, not just performers. So maybe it’s time it made more of the songwriters again. Anyone recall the 1985 postcards? I’m bigging up writers as today’s song […]
#BIRTHDAY: Gracia from Germany is 39 today Our friends in Germany haven’t had the most consistent of times of late. Yes, they’ve had one win in this Century, but also a few results that were not quite as good. As you’ll know, we’ve had two contests in Kyiv, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Benny Borg is 76 today Back in the 1970s, it was almost the same countries that turned up every year. There was none of this semi-final tomfoolery. And as for the concept of countries further east taking part. Well, that would just be madness. Obviously things chance, […]

#BIRTHDAY: Raphael Gualazzi from Italy is 40 today It was back in late 2010/early 2011 that websites were previewing a massive announcement that we’d remember for ever. It was an intriguing thing to say, and did, momentarily, have me wondering what it would be. An expanded contest of […]
