#BIRTHDAY: Malene from Denmark is 40 today It a sad truth that for [almost] every Eurovision Song Contest, there is only one winner. That means a whole heap of losers non-winners. And out of all those non-winners, there’s always a last place. As past performance is no guide […]

#BIRTHDAY: Paulo de Carvalho from Portugal is 75 today very song – in it’s own way – makes its own piece of history. It could be a country’s début song. It could be their lowest ever scorer. Or it could make its mark for wider reasons. In 1974, […]
