An Xtra Happy Birthday; June 25th

On this lovely midsummer Sunday we are celebrating two Eurostars, and today I think it’s only suitable if we do this with a glass of port, a piece of chocolate and some butter…
The port and chocolate is beacuse of our birthday boy, Nuno Resende! He is Portuguese (hence the wine…), but represented Belgium (chocolate <3 ) in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv. Being a lover of the French chanson it was only natural that he would perform…you guessed it; a French chanson; Le Grand Soir! He did however never make it to the grand soir, since he finished 22nd in the semi.
Today is his day, though, as he celebrates his 44th birthday! Congratulations, Nuno!

Nuno doesn’t get to keep his big day to himself, however. He has to share it with Cleo, who celebrates her 34th!
Cleo, along with Donatan and a handful of Polish milkmaids, represented Poland in the 2014 Eurovision in Copenhagen with the song “My Slowainie – We Are Slavic”. They might be remembered more for the performance than for the song itself, but it worked; they finished 8th in their semi final, flying through to the final , where they finished 14th.

All of us here at escXtra wish Nuno and Cleo an Xtra Happy Birthday!!
