#BIRTHDAY: Carole Vinci from Switzerland is 72 today Before the free language rule was re-introduced, when you were representing a country with a plethora of languages, it sometimes threw up some oddities. German speakers singing in Italian, Dutch speakers singing in French, English speakers singing in German. Our […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cliff Richard from the UK is 82 today For some Eurovision performers, that appearance on the hallowed stage might not quite be the highlight of their career. Important, definitely, but not the pinnacle. Today’s birthday boy Sir Cliff Richard (né Harry Rodger Webb) probably needs no introduction. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nana Mouskouri is 88 today False flagger alert! If you’re offended by people from one country singing for another, you may wish to look away. But there is a very good reason today. Today’s false flagger’s own country didn’t début for another 11 years. That makes it […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brian Kennedy from Ireland is 56 today Do you like a ballad or a banger? Or something in between? Or do you like all forms of song – yes, even Schlager? Our friends in Ireland are past masters at the ballad. They’ve won no end of contests […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jeronimas Milius from Lithuania is 38 today Sometimes a song comes along and I don’t know what to say about it. It’s not a winner. It’s not a notorious last place. And many of you might have even forgotten it was ever entered. In other news, after […]
#IRELAND: A word from our friends at OGAE Ireland OGAE Ireland is the Irish national club, and with over 500 individual members, we are one of the fastest-growing national clubs within the OGAE network. Proportionally we are the largest club in Europe. OGAE Ireland was born out of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dickie Rock from Ireland is 86 today We all like trailblazers. But what about those who were – maybe – one year too late to be one? Their achievement shouldn’t be overlooked, even though many are likely to. Our friends in Ireland first exercised their Eurovision vocal […]
#BIRTHDAY: Nicky Byrne from Ireland is 44 today There’s a lot to be said for the selection process to choose a song for our favourite TV show. What’s the right formula? Do you go for an internal selection? Or do you let Joe/Josef/Jozef/Giuseppe public decide? Obviously, this year, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kobi Marimi from Israel is 31 today Not so long ago, there had never been any Eurovision singers’ birthday of note (that we knew of) on this date, and then two came along at once. We celebrated one last year, so it’s the other one’s turn. Today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Charlotte Perrelli from Sweden is 48 today One of the golden rules of our favourite TV show is this: If you win, leave it at that. You’ve reached the pinnacle, so don’t try again. It’ll end in tears. Unless you’re Seán Sherrard. Cast your mind back to […]
