#BIRTHDAY: Nana Mouskouri is 88 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 makes it […]
#BIRTHDAY: Margo from Luxembourg is 61 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 […]

#BIRTHDAY: Vicky Leandros is 72 today Being a winner at our favourite TV show is something no-one can take away from you. Few have won, and even fewer have won at their second attempt. And fewer still have won – at their second attempt – for a country […]
#BIRTHDAY: Hugues Aufray is 92 today Our favourite TV show has always been a fun beast. Every year millions tune in. Many many people record it, and watch it afterwards, picking apart the performances. It’s not always been this way. In 1964, the contest took place as planned […]
