#BIRTHDAY: Demy from Greece is 30 today Do you often wonder what goes on in planning meetings to decide upon a staging for a Eurovision song? The outfit to wear, the positions of the backing singers, whether to have dancers even. It all needs careful planning. In 2017, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alice and Ellen Kessler from Germany are 85 today As you’ll know, our favourite TV show was originally a vehicle for soloists. However, the duos soon came along. Were they a good idea? Well, among those duos were that curious thing – twins. We’ve had a few […]
