The birth of Riverdance 30 years ago

Well worth a look if you love Riverdance as I do.

Still gives me shivers even after all these years.

About a month ago I went to see a show called Irish Celtic at a theatre in Poitiers. It was Irish dance and music and was brilliant. The narration started off in English but after a couple of minutes the ‘Bartender’ pretended to remember where he was and switched to a delightful Irish accented French. The quality of the dancing in particular was first class. Surprisingly I didn’t hear another British voice apart from the friend I went with in the capacity audience before the show, during the interval or at the end and when the elderly Irishman made a comment about Michael Flatulent the joke was lost in translation.

Nope!

I'm not surprised !!

Riverdance and Lord of the Dance really promoted Irish dancing (the music has always been popular). I saw videos of both and really enjoyed them.

Another really impressive dance troupe is Celtic Legends.

Went to see Riverdance at the Hammersmith Odeon - 1995 I think. Loved it
