#BIRTHDAY: Lozano from North Macedonia is 40 today Do you like the plethora of languages that the songs on our favourite TV show are sung in? Do you like to hear songs in that particularly obscure tongue? Or do you prefer a decent song sung in a language […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marc Roberts from Ireland is 57 today The home entrant. It could be disappointing if you like travelling. Especially if you miss out on a place warm and sunny. Or it means you might be able to go home between rehearsals. If you were Irish in the […]
