HappyNewYear: The 2021 Eurovision Season starts here Happy New Year! You may be wondering why we’re playing a non-Eurovision song (even if it’s by an obscure Nordic band from the 1970s). Well, from today, any song released for public consumption is eligible for the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest. […]
THE REAL ME: Eurovision memories from John Stanton We at Eurovision Ireland want to hear from you. Is there a song that really means something to you? Something that made you really fall in love with Eurovision? Something that you associate with a particular event in your life? […]
#BIRTHDAY: Rona Nishliu from Albania is 34 today Do you remember when the contest went east? About as east as it’s possible to go whilst still being in Europe? It was a wild old affair, and the host country couldn’t do enough – even building a venue. There […]
#IRELAND: Review of Ireland’s Eurosong 2013 At Eurovision Ireland we like to delve into the history of our favourite TV show, and review what’s taken place. This time we review the Irish national final from 2013. As you may know, Ireland made it through to the Grand Final […]

#BELGIUM: Laura Tesoro from Belgium is 24 today Do you enjoy good national final? No, not that Melodifestivalen thing – I’m talking about good national finals. I jest of course. Every national final will have good songs and, erm, other songs. Our friends in Belgium flit between televised […]
#BIRTHDAY: Cesár Sampson from Austria is 37 today We occasionally bang on about any country being capable of winning our favourite TV show. Some have that fluke result, some are knocking on the door of winning most years, and some blow hot and cold. Today we go to […]
