#BIRTHDAY: Tom Dice from Belgium is 34 today Do you ever wish a certain country could win, not because they have the best song, but because you want to visit it? Or maybe you want your own country to win so you don’t have to spend huge amounts […]
#JESC23: Interview with Melissa and Ranya from Italy Eurovision Ireland caught up with Melissa and Ranya, who will be singing Un mondo giusto for Italy in the 2023 Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Nice on 26 November. Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
This year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest is coming to us live from beautiful coastal Nice in France! As well as having a fresh batch of songs to enjoy, we all know one of the best things about attending the pint-sized version of Europe’s favourite music competition (or indeed, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Viktor Klimenko from Finland is 81 today We often mention false flags here, and it can be a little misleading at times. Many people don’t participate for their country of birth because their country of birth isn’t participating. Such a thing happens with today’s birthday boy Viktor […]
#BIRTHDAY: Chris Doran from Ireland is 44 today One of these days, Ireland will win again. There, it’s out there. It might not be for a few years, but it’ll happen. That is, as long as they keep taking part. For now, at least, that seems highly likely. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Brendan Murray from Ireland is 27 today Who says we just pick those obscure songs from decades no-one remembers. The ones where you can understand why they sank without trace. But we can pick obscure ones from recent contests too. We jest. Today’s birthday boy is someone […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anni-Frid Lyngstad is 78 today Just once in a while, I’ll pick a birthday for a member of a group. And I’ve gone obscure. Possibly. Let’s see if her group’s song rings any bells at all. I understand it did OK in the 1970s. I jest of […]
#BIRTHDAY: Edyta Górniak from Poland is 51 today Do you ever think that some broadcasters enter a song in our favourite TV show but don’t actually want to win? It might be due to budgetary constraints, or just no venue big enough. Or it could be because the […]
