Apparently it’s some sort of national festival of popular melody in Sweden over the weekend. Some fans of Europe’s favourite TV show have even headed out there for it. And the expensive beer. They should try Tallinn for Eesti Laul instead… The debate over which national final is best is something we should save for another time. But some classics have emerged from Melodifestivalen over the years. Some duffers have too. So when (Eric) Tommy Nilsson’s birthday popped up today, I knew I had to pick it to get some of you in that Swedish mood. Tommy is 56 today.
Grattis på födelsedagen , Tommy!
