Yes, I’m posting this two weeks after St. Patrick’s Day. It’s been a rough month. Erin go bragh! And England too. Hell, the whole damned place.
The Chieftains, Tim O’Brien along with a few young stepdancers toward the end of “Shady Grove.”
David Gibb performs “A Begging I Will Go.”
Scottish band Capercaillie featuring the soaring vocals of Karen Matheson.
Harlequin’s Glance (wtf kind of band name is that?) from Vienna performs “Raggle Taggle Gypsy.”
Riverdance as it was in 1994 when created, as a short interval act in a song contest called Eurovision. Less is more, in my opinion. Dancer Jean Butler and choreographer/dancer Michael Flatley at their best.
Van Morrison performs “Marie’s Wedding.”
I’ll end with the same song as I began: “Shady Grove” like you’ve never heard it before, performed by nickogawa.
