#BIRTHDAY: Daz Sampson from the UK is 50 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: Sandra Stevens from the UK is 75 today Do you want a vocal group? One of that curious breed where four(ish) voices are better than one? Well today is your lucky day. In 1976, the United Kingdom of stuff sent the Brotherhood of Man to The Hague […]
#BIRTHDAY: Lulu from the UK is 76 today Do you remember when the UK of stuff were good at Eurovision? Yes, since we hit the 21st Century their fortunes have waned a little, aside from a certain performance in Torino/Turin. But in their prime, the BBC were unstoppable. […]

#BIRTHDAY: Vikki from the UK is 65 today The United Kingdom used to be one of the countries that ruled the roost at our favourite TV programme. They saw coming fourth as a relative failure. Then came the free language rule and everything changed. Talking of finishing fourth, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Clodagh Rodgers from the UK is 77 today Did you know that there’s been a whole host of voting systems through the years. The current 12, 10 system has been in place a long time and has generally worked. But what did we do before 1975? Well, […]
