#BIRTHDAY: Jónsi from Iceland is 47 today We move north after our little sojourn into the Balkan world. And to someone who has been on that stage twice. Once alone, and once with a pal. You see it’s true that some just can’t get enough of the heady […]
#BIRTHDAY: Tony Cetinski from Croatia is 55 today For many performers, Eurovision gets into their blood. Many deny it, but plenty would love to come back and have another chance at singing in front of 100 million people, even if it’s just for three minutes. For them, it […]
#BIRTHDAY: Donna McCaul from Ireland is 40 today The great thing about our favourite TV show is that it’s full of people who do nothing but try. They find favour in their country, they tour Europe, they put up with interview after interview. And they put their hearts […]
#BIRTHDAY: Daria Kinzer from Croatia is 36 today Costume change. Are there two more enigmatic words in the Eurovision lexicon? One of these can enhance a quality song, or even make a less quality one all that more special. It all comes down to when the change occurs, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Roger Bens from France is 66 today It’s often debated which song contest is the best one ever. The one that took place in Göteborg/Gothenburg in 1985 will rank there among the best. It had some great songs, some tight voting, and Lys Assia. Representing France – […]

#BIRTHDAY: Silje Vige from Norway is 47 today Can you imagine how it feels if you’re closing a contest. And not just closing any old contest, but closing the biggest contest the world had ever seen at the time. And imaging doing all of this if you were […]
#BIRTHDAY: Blanka from Poland is 25 today Our friends in Poland have had a patchy record in our favourite TV show. From a debut runner-up to languishing in the semi-finals, they’ve probably ticked every box. They are past masters of JESC though. In 2023, they sent today’s birthday […]
#BIRTHDAY: Athena Manoukian from Armenia is 30 today There’s that exclusive club of performers that was formed in 2020. So exclusive that only around a dozen acts are fully paid-up members. A large number applied, but lost out due to an appearance in 2021. This club is those […]
