#BIRTHDAY: Loukas Giorkas is 34 today Our friends in the Hellenophone community used to have a torrid time of it. They’d be true to themselves and enter stuff reflecting their culture, and would earn few rewards. Then in the early part of the 21st Century something changed and […]
#BIRTHDAY: Elpida from Greece is 70 today Our friends in Greece are having a better time at Eurovision in the 21st Century than they did in the 20th Century. Musical tastes have widened. Greek music was once viewed by some as exotic, but it can now be just […]

#BIRTHDAY: Takis Biniaris from Greece is 65 today Being last to perform at our favourite TV show must be at least as tricky as performing first. If you’re on first, you’ve got an audience to warm up. If you’re on last, you’ve had to watch everyone else perform. […]
#BIRTHDAY: Katy Garbi from Greece is 59 today Do you remember when our friends in Greece were struggling to get any success in our favourite TV show? Those times have changed, and Greece can mix it with the best of them now. In the 1990s, there was a […]

#BIRTHDAY: Sarbel from Greece is 39 today Our friends in Greece were, to be fair, a country with very little success during the 20th Century. Everything changed in Copenhagen, and that win suddenly came within reach. As we know, Helena Paparizou eventually pulled it off, and a crop […]
