#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 […]
#BIRTHDAY: 9 Apr – Vesna Pisarović from Croatia is 48 There’s a long list of countries that have never won our favourite TV show. Will one of them win this year in Vienna? Or will it be somewhere dull? However, there is one country that claims a win, […]
#BIRTHDAY: 8 Apr – Dulce from Portugal is 57 When you think of some countries, you may think of a style of music associated with them. Highly-produced pop for somewhere Nordic for example. Or a Balkan ballad. Or fado perhaps. Fado is a solely Portuguese thing, even though […]

#BIRTHDAY: 3 Apr – Egon Egemann from Switzerland is 71 They always say that the one thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about. And being talked about can include earning yourself a nickname. Back in 1990, when the world was a more innocent place, […]
#BIRTHDAY: 2 Apr – Joan Franka from the Netherlands is 36 You want to make an impression on a stage? Make your outfit memorable. Even more so if your song isn’t. It’s a golden rule. I’m being harsh. Today’s birthday girl Joan Franka (née Ayten Kalan) had a […]
