#BIRTHDAY: 18 Apr – Géraldine from Switzerland is 80 We love vintage here. There is more to Eurovision than someone clucking in ultra high definition. There were days when we had nothing more than respectable black & white, and an altogether more demure look. Today we go back […]
#BIRTHDAY: 17 Apr – Mariana from Greece is 71 As we often say, there were Eurovision Song Contests before the year 2000. Can you imagine that? A 20th Century contest? Well, some of them even churned out good songs. Can you believe it? Today’s song comes from the […]
#BIRTHDAY: 16 Apr – Mikel Herzog from Spain is 66 Isn’t it often the way that you can tell where someone’s from, just by their name? If it ends in ‘dottir’, it’s usually Icelandic. Or if it ends in ‘ić’, it’s usually from a lot further south-east. So […]
#BIRTHDAY: 15 Apr – Luca Barbarossa from Italy is 65 There are some countries that seem to ‘get’ Eurovision. Three countries that have won since 2020 mainly. These include that boot-shaped country, and you can never write them off. Our friends in Italy have at times had a […]
#BIRTHDAY: 14 Apr – Anita Simoncini from San Marino is 27 If you keep an eye on the wider Eurovision family, you’ll know about the Junior version. We’ve already seen some Junior stars make it to the big contest, and one day we may see someone who wins […]
#BIRTHDAY: 13 Apr – Mando from Greece is 60 In a contest like Eurovision, it often happens that we get different songs with the same title. But a similar song title doesn’t always guarantee a similar finish. In 2003, we got the first Eurovision song with the title […]
#BIRTHDAY: 12 Apr – Knut Anders Sørum from Norway is 50 Yesterday we had a winner. But as we know our favourite TV show is a competition, and for every winner, someone has to prop up the other end of the table. The song that comes last can […]
#BIRTHDAY: 11 Apr – Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands is 32 Anyone can win our favourite TV show. A number of countries had had dismal results before they won. You know who they are. And countries who won in the dim and distant past can surprise us all […]
#OBITUARY: Bo Halldórsson has died aged 74 Icelandic singer Björgvin ‘Bo’ Halldórsson, known in Eurovision circles for his performance in the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest, has died after a short illness, shortly before his 75th birthday. A well-known star on the Icelandic music scene for many years, he […]
#BIRTHDAY: 10 Apr – Loïc Nottet from Belgium is 30 Do you feel for Belgium? A fully-formed country, but two broadcasters that keep to their own markets – except for Eurovision of course. And, I understand, there are very few channels of communications between the two. I’m sure […]
