BIRTHDAY: Geir Rönning is 57 today False flag time again. It’s a close thing, with the Nordics. They’re very close culturally, so someone moving between them isn’t that noteworthy. So perhaps there’s no false flag after all. Finland is an interesting case. Nordic, but not quite that Nordic. […]
JESC BIRTHDAY: Angélina Nava from France is 13 today Angélina took part in JESC and was runner-up to Poland’s Roksana Węgiel. Happy birthday, Angélina! Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
BIRTHDAY: Gianni Mascolo from Switzerland is 79 today In those days before the free language, did you wish that your country could sing in any language it chose? Or do you think Eurovision should ditch the rule? If you were Swiss, you had the choice of four languages […]
BIRTHDAY: Pearl Carr from the UK is 96 today It’s good to go right back at time. For those that don’t know, there was once a contest with only ten songs. Can you imagine that now? Well, compared to that, 1959 was a bumper edition. In that year, […]

BIRTHDAY: Séverine Ferrer representing Monaco is 42 today It’s always sad when a country decides to sit out Eurovision. For a year is understandable, but there are a few we’ve not seen for many years now. Are they still paying attention to our favourite TV show? Or do […]
BIRTHDAY: Fausto Leali from Italy is 75 today As you will know, every performer in our favourite TV show is a professional. They all want to do their best. Nevertheless, it must still be daunting singing in front of millions. It must be even more daunting if you’re […]
BIRTHDAY: Charlie from Hungary is 72 today What was it that drew you into Eurovision? The costumes? The glorious melodies? For us, it was the languages. Where else could you have heard someone using Hebrew, Portuguese or Finnish to get a message across? Of course, many use English […]
BIRTHDAY: Tanel Padar from Estonia is 39 today Do you remember the start of this century/millennium? The bug was behind us and we had a whole new one hundred/one thousand years to look forward to. And of course our favourite TV show carried on. One year in, and […]
