27 September – On Wednesday Billy brings you home

I’m continuing the trip through the decades, but not necessarily in the way you expect. We missed out the 1950s, so I’m putting that right. You will notice when you watch the video below that the pictures aren’t moving. That’s because the contest in 1956 is still only in audio, as far as we know. But as I always say, don’t forget the contest’s history.

Today’s birthday boy is Freddy Quinn, born Franz Eugen Helmut Manfred Nidl (no wonder he goes by Freddy Quinn). There are rumours that this song came ninth, but of course we’ll probably never know for sure.

Freddy is 86 today.

Frohe Geburtstag, Freddy!
