#BIRTHDAY: Mikel Herzog from Spain is 62 today Isn’t it often the way that you can tell where someone’s from, just by their name? If it ends in ‘dottir’, it’s usually Icelandic. Or if it ends in ‘ić’, it’s usually from a lot further south-east. So imagine Europe’s […]
#BIRTHDAY: Luca Barbarossa from Italy is 61 today All Eurovision eyes are increasingly focussing on the oddly anatomically shaped country that is Italy (we understand some riotous cavalcade of quality song takes place there next month). And so are we! Our friends in Italy have at times had […]
#ESC2022: Eurovision Ireland reviews… Part I We at Eurovision Ireland have taken a look at the songs participating in the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest (plus one other). In seven reviews, we pick apart the songs, and see if we can find our favourite. Here’s our first review… Bulgaria […]
#BIRTHDAY: Anita Simoncini from San Marino is 23 today If you keep an eye on the wider Eurovision family, you’ll know about the Junior version. We’ve already seen some Junior stars make it to the big contest, and one day we may see someone who wins them both. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Deen from Bosnia & Herzegovina is 40 today As we know, Eurovision throws up performances as well as songs. Do they detract, or does a song need some form of gimmick to do well? St Salvador of Sobral didn’t think so, but they do sometimes help. If […]
#BIRTHDAY: Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands is 28 today Anyone can win our favourite TV show. A number of countries had had dismal results before they won. You know who they are. And countries who won in the dim and distant past can surprise us all and win […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ana Soklič from Slovenia is 38 today For all time, we’ll have a large number of performers who missed out on the cancelled 2020 contest, only to be recruited for the 2021 festival instead. They are now members of a very exclusive club. Today’s birthday girl Ana […]
#BIRTHDAY: Vesna Pisarović from Croatia is 44 today There’s a long list of countries that have never won our favourite TV show. Will one of them win this year in Turin? Or will it be somewhere dull? However, there is one country that claims a win, even though […]
#INTERVIEW: Mia Dimšić at the 2022 London Eurovision Party Eurovision Ireland caught up with Croatia’s Mia Dimšić at the Hard Rock Hotel near London’s Marble Arch. She told us about her life and of course her favourite cake. Can Croatia achieve a good result in Turin? Could we […]
