#BIRTHDAY: Sonja Lumme from Finland is 60 today I like writing this column, as it sometimes allows me to pick my favourite songs from time to time. Today’s one of those days. But please be assured there were contests before 2001. But which is this legendary song? It […]
YLE, the Finnish national broadcaster, has put a call out for dancers for UMK 2022 – however it is currently unknown where it will be held. During the call for dancers, YLE announced that UMK 2022 will take place in the final week of February. Along with other […]
#BIRTHDAY: Ami Aspelund from Finland is 68 today Finland. Who doesn’t love Finland. A land of content people, vast expanses of nature and a language many people have been know to find incomprehensible. And it’s fair share of very underrated songs. Today’s birthday girl Ami Aspelund – or […]
#BIRTHDAY: Jasmine from Finland is 45 today It’s a fact that the Eurovision semi-final isn’t a 21st Century phenomenon. Semi-finals of sorts happened in 1993 and 1996. But it’s always been the case that a song that qualifies from a semi-final way down the list is unlikely to […]

#BIRTHDAY: Kristina Hautala from Finland is 73 today Do you think it’s true that some languages sound easier on the ear than others? French songs did well in the early days, before English came along. Other languages, however, never really seemed to hit the mark. Today’s birthday girl […]
