#BIRTHDAY: Vaiko Eplik from Estonia is 44 today You can always spot when a country is gearing up for a win. It’s happened often when they get in their groove for a few years, and then win that crystal microphone. But what happens after that? Some countries keep […]
#BIRTHDAY: Renata Dąbkowska from Poland is 53 today We mainly pick soloists and duo to celebrate birthdays, but today we’re celebrating a member of a band. They have mixed success, and it was probably better in past times when they actually played their own instruments, rather than pretending […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elena Gheorghe from Romania is 40 today When the weekend comes, what do you like to do? Do you start it with gin, tonic and lime? Do you hit the gym? Or do you work until late into the evening because you love your job so much? […]
#BIRTHDAY: Silvia Night from Iceland is 43 today As you’ll have seen from our birthday feature, all kinds of song have been on that stage. Some are well-crafted songs that might be slow-burners. And then there are the others… Today’s is a uniquely crafted song that attracted all […]
#BIRTHDAY: Isabelle Aubret from France is 87 today It’s about time we had a winner. And it’s about time we had something in glorious black & white. So when those two parts of a Venn diagram work, it’s only right we oblige. Back in 1962, France notched up […]

#BIRTHDAY: Rebeka Dremelj from Slovenia is 45 today Stage acts have come a long way over the years. It was once ground-breaking when a Dane had two dancers mincing around behind her in Luxembourg. Now, that would be seen as twee or just plain daft. These days, you […]
#BIRTHDAY: Märyon from Monaco is 38 today We know that there’s always talk of a certain micro-microstate returning in 2026, most likely singing in French. But in the early days of the contest you couldn’t move for songs in français. That’s because one of those francophone countries was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lum!x from Austria is 23 today That thing where you hear a Eurovision song – pre-contest obviously – and think it could really challenge for the win when it gets on that stage. And then, when you see it on said stage, you wonder what you were […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ryan Dolan from Ireland is 40 today Sometimes you want some countries to have success. Maybe it’s because you’d like to see how they host a contest. Or they did well in years gone by and have since lost their way. Talking of countries that have lost […]
