This week has two shows, as well as song and artist announcements… Monday 20th January Czech Republic – Song Announcement Tuesday 21st January Finland – Artist Announcement Saturday 25th January Lithuania – Pabandom is […]
BIRTHDAY: Sebastian Rejman is 42 today It’s always fun when a big name gets through to represent their country in our favourite TV show. They’ve conquered the proper music scene, but this is a chance for legend status. Of course, it’s a high-risk strategy for that big name. […]
BUT WE ONLY HAVE ONE SONG!!! You’ve all just screamed at your computer screens (or mobile phones)!! Yes, we do – but that doesn’t stop the bookies from already taking a look at who they think will win the Eurovision Song Contest 2020! Remember, betting odds are calculated […]
Happy 2020 from everyone here at Eurovision Ireland! ESC Radio’s yearly Eurovision Top 250 is a staple in the fan calendar, with lovers of the contest from across Europe and beyond listening in on New Year’s Eve to find out if their favourites have earned a place on […]
BIRTHDAY: Krista Siegfrids from Finland is 35 today It’s another contender for Mr/Mrs/Ms/Mx Eurovision today. You know the sort – one of those who crops up at every Eurovision-related opportunity to open something, or present something, or drink something. These people should be cherished. Luckily, they become the […]
Previously, we had ANNOUNCED that Finland was going back to an open selection for UMK. During the submission period, 426 songs were received by YLE. On 21st January 2020, the Six Acts that will be taking part in UMK 2020 will be announced in a Press Conference. The […]
BIRTHDAY: Viktor Klimenko from Finland is 77 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: Laila Kinnunen from Finland would have been 80 today That first entry. Always daunting for a broadcaster. What will Europe think of us? How will we do? Will we have the money to take part every year? Back in the 1960s, participation was easier. Eurovision was a […]
BIRTHDAY: Geir Rönning is 57 today False flag time again. It’s a close thing, with the Nordics. They’re very close culturally, so someone moving between them isn’t that noteworthy. So perhaps there’s no false flag after all. Finland is an interesting case. Nordic, but not quite that Nordic. […]
UMK will be a one-show National Selection again next year and will take place on Saturday 7th March. While the Final will takes place in Tampere, there will be no public tickets available to buy. Song submissions can be sent in from today until Friday 8th November. Song […]
HALLOWE’EN: Eurovision goes bump in the night Hallowe’en and Eurovision. Does it scare you? Do you tremble on 31 October when you get a sinister knock at your door? Are you relieved when you find out it’s only the local kids going trick-or-treating? Or do you leave the […]
In the aftermath of Eurovision 2018, we here at Eurovision Ireland looked through the nations competing to see who has the best qualification rate at the contest. According to our stats, many of you still check back to that article – which you can check that out HERE […]
Have you ever tried to say different phrases while wearing a mouthpiece that won’t let them shut your mouth? That’s exactly what the ‘Speak Out‘ game does! Here, at Eurovision Ireland, we thought to combine this game with our favourite topic: Eurovision! The idea came to us while […]
BIRTHDAY: Kaija from Finland is 57 today OK, so I’ve gone for the same vintage year as yesterday. But 1991 was an interesting year when lots of songs got decent scores. And of course the EBU’s St Frank Naef had to employ a tie-break to pick a winner. […]
