Song of the Trip!
Howdy all! Hope you are well. Today's post is a musical one for you! Whatever your destination, it's nice to have some songs with you. But today I am reminiscing about the songs that I heard frequently on past trips. So much so that they became the 'Song of the Trip', except that really there …
Eurovision 2021 – Some of My Favourites
Hi all! Well, it's been two years but a week and a half ago Eurovision returned and wow! I have to say, the previous few years had left me a bit... nonplussed, but I was really happy to see this year there was a real spirit to the contest, held in Rotterdam, with a great …

Hi everyone. Well, the semifinals are a week away! Today is the second last time this year I'll be looking back at the world's greatest song contest, so I thought I would share a few more favourites over the years. This includes a couple of winners, and fair bit of cheese too! Buck's Fizz - …
Eurovision #ThrowbackThursday – Times Eurovision Rocked!
Howdy all. Another post looking back at Eurovision over the years - today I'm looking at some examples of rock songs in Eurovision. Actually surprisingly under-represented as a genre, some songs are brill whereas others ... well they unique to say the least! Eyes That Never Lie (2009, Belarus, Petr Elfimov) This one has an …
