#BIRTHDAY: Anouk from Netherlands is 50 today It wasn’t so long ago we were going Dutch in Rotterdam. Our friends in the Netherlands have a rich past going right back to the first contest – indeed the first song. Not so long ago, the Netherlands had eight years […]
#BIRTHDAY: Michèle Torr is 78 today Some people just can’t get enough of our favourite TV show. And that’s not just the fans, who are making the best of things after missing out on tickets. Instead, there’s plenty out there. Talking of people who can’t get enough, today’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sue Schell from Switzerland is 75 today Many people have trodden the boards more than once, some with aplomb, and some doing stuff we’d rather not talk about. And I’m not possibly going to mention singers from the world’s oldest republic. But today we have a lady […]

#BIRTHDAY: Fuat Güner from Türkiye is 77 today Do you have a favourite contest of all time? One where every song hits the mark, the host(s) do their job to perfection, and the production is just second to none?. Which on is it? In other news, in 1985 […]
#BIRTHDAY: Brooke Scullion from Ireland is 26 today Did you enjoy the contest in Turin/Torino? Did you go? Did the city meet your high expectations? And, of course, did your favourites make it to the Grand Final out of those cut-throat semi-finals? One highly tipped song didn’t actually […]
#BIRTHDAY: Céline Dion is 57 today For many performers, their three/six/nine/twelve minutes on the Eurovision stage is the highlight of their entertainment career.
