23 August – He wins all women over using his charm

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Imagine how you’d feel. You’re on the Eurovision stage, you’re giving it everything, and things don’t go quite as well as expected.

This is all after a long road which included winning your national final in December the previous year with a song you’ve co-written. You beat five other songs. Perhaps because yours was the only song of the six in your language. Then you go through the usual process of honing your song, your stage act, your backing singers. You make it to the host city and party and socialise with participants from 24 other songs. Then on the big night, you don’t get many votes. In fact, you don’t get any votes. That fate befell today’s birthday girl Gunvor Guggisberg.

Gunvor is 50 today.

Frohe Geburtstag/Bonne anniversaire/Buon compleanno, Gunvor!
