#BIRTHDAY: 26 June – Stefán Hilmarsson from Iceland is 60 As we often say, some performers can’t get enough of Eurovision. They need to be on the stage. But with that, maybe they don’t want to be on stage alone. That where you get the serial duetist. In […]
#BIRTHDAY: 25 June – Sam Ryder from the UK is 37 Do you ever think that, sometimes, the biggest star to come out of a Eurovision Song Contest isn’t always the winner? Sometimes, that singer who maybe gets a lesser placing has more to celebrate. In 2022 we […]
#BIRTHDAY: 24 June – Bojana Stamenov from Serbia is 40 If your country’s début entry turns out to be a winner, then all of your subsequent performers are living in that song’s shadow. It can prove tough. Even so, if you’re one of that country’s performers, it can […]

#BIRTHDAY: 20 June – Kenny Lübcke from Denmark is 60 We love duos at Eurovision. And when there’s actually chemistry between the two protagonists, even better. We know that, sometimes, you can tell they’ve been thrown together and told to get on with it. Today’s birthday boy Kenny […]

#BIRTHDAY: 19 June – Glennis Grace from the Netherlands is 48 Anyone can win the Eurovision Song Contest. There, I’ve said it. We cite the examples of Portugal and Finland. But there are others. Not too far back we had a win by our friends in the Netherlands. […]
#BIRTHDAY: 18 June – Oto Nemsadze from Georgia is 37 Do you ever spot when countries appear to put in songs they like, rather than ones they think can win our favourite TV show? You have to admire them for staying true to themselves. In Tel Aviv, Georgia […]
