As it’s now December, many of us will be turning our attention to Christmas and begin decorating our homes for the festive season. Sadly for Eurovision fans, Christmas couldn’t really be further away from the traditionally May-held contest… after all, it’s a long time to go till Rotterdam, […]
BIRTHDAY: Corinne Hermès is 58 today We had a winner yesterday. And we have another one today. This is no group, nor is it a maiden win. It’s a last win – to date – for one of our more petite countries. Our friends in Luxembourg fell out […]
BIRTHDAY: Jean-Claude Pascal representing Luxembourg would have been 92 today Occasionally, we like to look back – right back – at early contests. It’s important no to forget our history as if it wasn’t for events on a May evening in 1956, we wouldn’t have had the lunacy […]
BIRTHDAY: Nana Mouskouri representing Luxembourg is 85 today False flagger alert! If you’re offended by people from one country singing for another, you may wish to look away. But there is a very good reason today. Today’s false flagger’s own country didn’t début for another 11 years. That […]
BIRTHDAY: Margo representing Luxembourg is 58 today I know you love a song that crosses the boundaries of our different tastes, and is something that can do no wrong. Today must fit that bill if any song can. It has almost everything. Three songwriters, of which two are […]
While many had hoped it would become a reality – especially with The Netherlands hosting the Eurovision Song Contest next year, Luxembourg will not be retuning to the Contest next year. RTL told ESCToday: “It currently concentrates on news features rather than music and entertainment shows. A Eurovision […]
BIRTHDAY: Sophie Carle from Luxembourg is 55 today The home entrant. No pressure on performing in front of your home crowd then. Just imagine it, the local newspapers will be watching your every move and delving into your past. So you need to be squeaky clean. Squeaky id […]
Will Luxembourg return to the Eurovision Song Contest? The Contest will return to the BENELUX region for the first time since the 1980’s – the perfect time for Luxembourg to return? Groups have appeared on Social Media, as well as former Contest stars calling for the Nation’s return […]
BIRTHDAY: Anne-Marie David is 67 today A winner? Well, there have been 67 of them, so they’ll crop up here from time to time. There is another winner who has a birthday today, but I’ll save her for another year. Today’s birthday girl Anne-Marie David has actually represented […]
BIRTHDAY: Sophie Garel from Luxembourg is 77 today You wait ages for songs from 1968, and then two come along at once. It was an interesting year. The first one in proper colour, the first Spanish win, and the first one with big pictures of the acts. We […]
Last week , as part of my series on the trials and tribulations of being the host country for the Eurovision Song Contest. I looked at the ( very ) large financial commitments that the host delegation and host country has when hosting a large event like our […]
Last week, I began by introducing my series of articles on hosting the Eurovision song contest and what this means for the host country . Today , I am going to look at one of the most important things that the winning country of the year has to […]
BIRTHDAY: David Alexandre Winter from Luxembourg is 76 today It’s good to remember our history. You know, those times before 2000 when the contest still happened, even if it was a little bit smaller and, generally, more western than it is now. In 1970 it was much much […]
BIRTHDAY: Ireen Sheer from Germany* is 70 today It’s all coming together today. When you have someone who keeps coming back for another try. And they can represent a different country to their own, you have to celebrate. AND, when it’s a big birthday, just hold us back. […]
BIRTHDAY: Phil Coulter is 77 today Today’s a different birthday. It’s not always about the singers, although they’re the people you associate with any given song. There’s a whole team behind them. We shouldn’t forget that our favourite TV show a songwriter’s contest. So today it’s the birthday […]
