#BIRTHDAY: Kurt Calleja from Malta is 31 today Who doesn’t want to see Malta win? We know a contest on the Mediterranean’s happiest rock will be a memorable affair. There will be warmth, sun, laughter, and maybe even a presidential appearance or two during the fortnight. What could […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tony Wegas from Austria is 55 today There’s an exclusive club. Well, yeah, there are lots of exclusive clubs. But today’s exclusive belongs to those people who did back-to-back appearances in our favourite TV show. We can name plenty – Lena, Jedward, Val Monetta – all illustrious […]
#BIRTHDAY: Engelbert from the UK is 84 today Eurovision is a young person’s game. Or is it? People of all ages from 11 to, well, unknown, despite a certain presenter in 1987 telling us about the rising stars taking part. Our friends in the UK are amongst those […]
#BIRTHDAY: Timna Brauer from Austria is 59 today These days, our favourite TV show is fairly free and easy with language. If a country isn’t using its own language, then English is the favourite but not the only choice. Some songs even contain a plethora of tongues to […]
BIRTHDAY: Michael Schulte from Germany is 30 today We need to bear in mind that part performance is no guide to future performance. Some countries win, completely out of the blue, and then sink back into obscurity. Or a country could have one really bad rogue result amid […]

#BIRTHDAY: Karolina from North Macedonia is 40 today Many people have had a second try at winning our favourite TV show. Maybe it’s the competition they like. Or maybe it’s the free stuff for the performers at the opening party. Or the free stuff at the closing party. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Robin Bengtsson from Sweden is 30 today Yes, we covered a Swedish birthday a few days ago, but we’ve headed to the land of the blue-and-yellow cross again today. Some of you might just have this country as your favourite every year. Our friends in Sweden want […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vlado from Yugoslavia is 67 today Time to slip in a little duet for your viewing pleasure. It comes from that mythical country Yugoslavia. And goes to show that, for a time at least, a larger entity can function perfectly well. Back in 1984, Yugoslavia (remember them?) […]
#BIRTHDAY: Björn Ulvæus is 75 today You may recall earlier this month we celebrated a big birthday of a member of some certain popular beat combo from the Nordic part of our great continent. Today we celebrate another birthday from a member of the same popular beat combo. […]
