BIRTHDAY: Martine Clémenceau from France is 70 today When your country has had success in our favourite TV show, the pressure is always on your singers to repeat that success year after year. But there often comes a year (or more), when those good placings desert you. I […]
It’s been exactly a week now since all the songs for Eurovision 2019 were released. You’ve made your Top 10s and have your favourites, but now the dust has settled and everyone has had a chance to hear everything – what are the bookies thinking? We deliberately waited […]
IRELAND: Happy St Patrick’s Day! It’s that time of year again when everyone becomes just a little Irish. And what’s another year, you might cry. Well, on this most Irish of days, we’ve put together a short list of tunes that demonstrate Irishness. We think so anyway. These […]
BIRTHDAY: Paul Oscar from Iceland is 49 today Just occasionally, we get songs that break the mould. A song so different that it has to be seen to be believed, and our favourite TV show is never quite the same again. And that brings me onto today’s song. […]
BIRTHDAY: Jørgen Olsen from Denmark is 69 today I’ve given you a couple pf days of songs that didn’t quite make the grade in their respective contests. I’m changing that today with one that did slightly better. So better in fact, this song actually won. It was much […]

BIRTHDAY: Rykka from Switzerland is 33 today Eurovision isn’t all about winning. That’s because these days for every winner there are around 40 losers. And just because you’re a loser, you’re still privileged to have been on the Eurovision stage anyway. With all loser, erm, non-winners, someone has […]
SWEDEN: Tommy Nilsson from Sweden is 59 today There’s a core of people out there who believe that a certain country can do no wrong. You know the thing, a person could read out the phone book on stage and still make the top five. In other news, […]
He’s back – and as brutally honest as ever! It’s James’ nephew and Eurovision Ireland’s youngest contributor, 6 year-old Jack! After giving us his thoughts on songs heading to Junior Eurovision in Minsk last year, we were keen to invite Jack back for the adult’s contest to see […]

BIRTHDAY: Katja Ebstein from Germany is 75 today It’s trier time again. And what a trier we have today. There have been others, but no-one else has performed in three contests, and finished either second or third every time. That’s quite a claim to make, and who’s to […]
