    It was a very brief resurgence in the charts for Nana. She was also in the top three in the UK charts at the time. That said, I think she was always quite popular in Ireland.

    truly awful mixups. Tempted to abstain the first three, but best to pick the least worst and move on.

    M41 - Grandma
    M42 - don't know either; abstain
    M43 - Super Trouper
    M44 - either of these would win the other three ties. I'll plump for Orinoco Flow

    I've seen this!!! :(
    Nana Mouskouri is a legend. I saw her a few years ago in the National Concert Hall at her 80th birthday and was very impressed that her voice was still very solid.

    On the votes
    Abstain on the first one, not a fan of either of them
    Madonna Who's That Girl
    Nana Mouskouri Only Love (not her best song, but have to support my fellow Greek chanteuse)
    Enya Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) - one of the best songs of then 80s, true magic!!

    Edit: just checked that Falco beat Enya 6-0. Unbelieveable. . .:mad:

    Upcoming gigs and events: The Rocky Horror Show, The Pillowman, Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Foil Arms and Hog, Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne

    We have a former politician in the next group :D

    As an aside, how did Enya get zero votes (tie was over before yours), arguably the most well known song from Ireland's best selling solo artist and only second to U2 overall.

    Are there no one from Donegal here only me? :D

    M48 - Aneka
