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: Daz Sampson from the UK is 45 today The ‘novelty’ song. Every contest has them. Just look at Carola. I joke. Carola has never been a novelty. But these songs sometimes do far better than expected. And some we can just point and laugh at. I leave […]
BIRTHDAY: Pearl Carr from the UK is 96 today It’s good to go right back at time. For those that don’t know, there was once a contest with only ten songs. Can you imagine that now? Well, compared to that, 1959 was a bumper edition. In that year, […]

BIRTHDAY: Andy Abraham from the UK is 55 today Do you think performers like to publicise the fact they’ve taken part in our favourite TV show? Do they make the most of it, or just pretend it never happened? When they’re selected, they must think that they’ll never […]
BIRTHDAY: Michael Ball from the UK is 57 today Runner-up day today. There’s been plenty of them through the years. Only one year – to my knowledge – has no runner-up. It’s a good place if you’re a host broadcaster’s entry for many reasons. And back in the […]
