#BIRTHDAY: Kristína Peláková from Slovakia is 38 today Are there any countries you’d like to see in the 2026 edition of our favourite TV show, that weren’t going to be there in 2025? A new country perhaps? Or one that hasn’t been there for a while? Today we […]
#BIRTHDAY: Adrian Lulgjuraj from Albania is 45 today Don’t you just love our favourite TV show for its masses of different styles? You can have good old Scandi-Schlager, followed by good old Adriatic ballad, followed by something completely insane. There’s something for everyone. Some styles feature more than […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hughes Aufray is 96 today Our favourite TV show has always been a fun beast. Every year millions tune in. Many many people record it, and watch it afterwards, picking apart the performances. It’s not always been this way. In 1964, the contest took place as planned […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katri Helena from Finland is 80 today Do you ever see a performer and think “they have class”? That performer who doesn’t need to try. They have a stage presence, and have the audience in the palm of their hand. They may not win, but they are […]

#BIRTHDAY: Montaigne from Australia is 30 today After a couple of years of up-in-the-airness in the early 2020s, our favourite TV show is now more back on an even keel. Yes, that’s a mix of metaphors but we can continue to be hopeful for 2026 and beyond. Now […]
#BIRTHDAY: Thanos Kalliris from Greece is 63 today Do you like your traditional song? Are you more a fan of something more contemporary? Do you like it when a country surprises you with a choice of song? Back in 1987, our friends in Greece deviated from their usual […]
#BIRTHDAY: Saba from Denmark is 28 today You must feel for some Eurovision performers. They do their best and go and win a national final. They follow the whole circus to a city somewhere in the European Broadcasting Area with high hopes. They know they’re going to be […]
#BIRTHDAY: Kateryna Pavlenko from Ukraine is 37 today Until it was abandoned, the 2020 contest was shaping up to be a classic contest. A number of countries were being touted for a win, including some of those that ‘get’ Eurovision, and one or two others. Of course, we’ll […]
