#ESC25: The turquoise carpet Every year the contest ‘officially’ opens with a carpet event, where the participants (and their delegations) put on their finery and parade through the host city for all to see. This year, after a ride on a vintage tram, some of them briefly met […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sahlene is 49 today That thing when your country wins, meaning you have to host next year. If you’re that winning broadcaster, it must be a year-long headache. Venue, date, theme, hosts – they all must be a nightmare. On top of all that, you still need […]
#ESC25: Eurovision Ireland interviews… Klemen from Slovenia Eurovision Ireland caught up with Klemen Slakonja. As you know, he’s performing Slovenia’s song How much time do we have left at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest in Basel. He told us about celebrating Eurovision winners, his ideal duet partner, and […]
#BIRTHDAY: Emilija Kokić is 57 today Do you have a favourite Eurovision band, particularly one from the 20th Century? A few have won the big prize, but far fewer than you would think. In the late 1980s, the then Yugoslavia got the wind in the sails and sent […]

#BIRTHDAY: Kojo from Finland is 72 today In our favourite TV show, it’s easy to be winners one day, tail-enders the next. Hero to zero, or vice versa. It’s all good fun. We love them all, as they’ve done something most of us will never do. Today’s birthday […]

#BIRTHDAY: Helen Micallef from Malta is 75 today We have a duo for you today. A duo from the 1970s. Until that decade, we’d mainly seen soloists, but duos and the occasional trio did feature. That made a duo sort of a middle ground. A bit of variety […]
Being surrounded by other Eurovision fans, discussions inevitably turn to what if… what if that song had been better staged? What if they’d had a better spot in the running order? What if that saxophone hadn’t sounded like a weasel being beaten to death with bagpipes? During these […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maria Christian from Ireland is 60 today It’s often interesting how certain Eurovision stars crop up in the most interesting of places.
