People thought something special would happen in Copenhagen last year. There was a show taking place on Mother’s Day. A show that contained a song about a mother. Maybe your mother, maybe someone else’s. This song was the best thing <> Ruslana <> had ever heard. She couldn’t get enough of Axel Hirsoux. If you’ve forgotten him, he was the Walloon type that crossed the border into Flanders. Some tipsters in Eurovision;and even had his song as a winner. So it did come as a surprise when his little ballad remained in the semi-final. Axel is 33 today.
Happy birthday, Axel!
