*I did uncover some information regarding Lisa Gold-Rubin and Nehama Shutan which would make them Pisces and Leo respectively, however I was unable to confirm whether they were the actual Eurovision performers or whether they just happened to share the same names. The lead for Gold-Rubin is stronger... but still unconfirmed 😅

**Some sites list Tymofii's birthday as being in September, however his actual Ukrainian Wikipedia page shows it as February 6th, so that's what I'm going with

Corrections/additional information welcome!

Eurovision Fact #451:

Before taking part in 1985 as a member of the iconic Norwegian duo Bobbysocks, Hanne Krogh participated as a solo act in 1971. However, her song 'Lykken Er...' did not do as well, placing only 17th -- second to last.

One of the most endearing songs from the last 40 years is Caledonia, be it the original, as seen here, the Frankie Miller version or one of the many others that have appeared over the years.

The story behind the song is that Dougie MacLean, a young man in his early twenties had been busking around Europe with three Irish guys, while in France with another few Scots he began feeling a wee bit homesick, he says he penned Caledonia in about ten minutes sitting on a beach in Brittany, then went back to the Youth Hostel, finished it off and played it to his friends, it was the final straw, they packed their bags and headed home next day. Modestly Dougie said "I was genuinely homesick and it was just a little song I wrote."

The song's effect on expatriate Scots was summed up by Desert Island Discs presenter Kirsty Young, who chose it to mark the programme's 75th anniversary in 2017.

She said: "This song for me exquisitely captures the sensation of having Scotland in your soul and only ever feeling truly complete when you are there."

I lived in England during the 90's I left Scotland just after the song became famous due to it being used in THAT Tennents Lager advert, sung by Frankie Miller, and the song stuck with me and helped me through my time down there, well that and The Proclaimers!

MacLean first published the song his 1979 joint album credited to Alan Roberts and Doug MacLean, also called Caledonia, to date the song has not made an impact on the charts, Miller's version peaked at number 45, some songs don't need to be massive hits to be well remembered and loved. MacLean, who is now 64, it will be his 65 birthday later this month, maybe I should have waited and posted this then, but I just get ideas in my head sometimes, he grew up in the village of Butterstone near Dunkeld in Perthshire and started playing fiddle with traditional Scottish music band the Tannahill Weavers before going solo.

He was still finding his way as a songwriter when he wrote Caledonia and says that if he tried to write it now it would be much more complex lyrically and musically.

"I probably would not be able to write something like Caledonia now, which is fascinating as a songwriter," he says.

Other popular versions of the song are from Ireland's Dolores Keane, Paolo Nutini, Celtic Women and Amy MacDonald. Perhaps the most unusual version is by Norwegian singer Hanne Krogh who recorded the song in her own language, Caledonia was changed to Haugalandet, an area on the west coast of the country. Look it up on Youtube, she has a nice voice.

I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me

In these last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away

So I've been telling old stories, singing songs, that make me think about where I come from

That's the reason why I seem so far away today

CHORUS

Let me tell you that I love you and I think about you all the time

Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home

But if I should become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything I've ever had

I have moved and I've kept on moving, proved the points that I needed proving

Lost the friends that I needed losing, found others on the way

I have tried and I've kept on trying, stolen dreams, yes there's no denying*

I have travelled hard sometimes with conscience flying somewhere in the wind

CHORUS

Now I'm sitting here before the fire, the empty room the forest choir

The flames that couldn't get any higher they've withered now they've gone

But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear and I know what I will do tomorrow

When the hands have shaken and the kisses flow then I will disappear

CHORUS
