What the buggery bollocks is that all about ?

A load of people stamping for hours to a slight variation of the same tune, the missus is watching it on Sky Three.

Then there's a woman playing an Electric Violin, just buy a guitar !!!!

Jesus, the crap people (female people) will watch.

I do not undstand it at all, leaves me cold, yup, some nice looking girls but other than that - i do not see the appeal.
it has as much appeal as line dancing and that really is not a lot.

I can't understand all the fuss... it's just a boat sat on the beach.

Exactly what I was thinking

I saw this in the Netherlands and recall being impressed by the legs on display, but after the novelty wore off I fell sound asleep.

lol, well it made me laugh.

Non irish people shouldn't watch Riverdance. You are not able to understand the music or the concept. You need to have irish dancing beaten into you from a young age, then try to learn 'The Mason's Apron' on the fiddle (thats an irish violin to you non belivers) - Only then can you appreciate the skill involved.

I'm not Irish but I reckon this dancing is magic - The marvel of the human brain in being able to perfectly co-ordinate the movements of each dancer syncronised to a micro second -I find it bloody amazing.
Have a look at this and how the dancers are really enjoying themselves- I'm going out to get a Guinness !
YouTube - IRISH DANCE!!

Yes, perhaps it is amazing for about a minute, yes very good but it doesn't really scale up to a two hour show. Sure it does require skill but it still looks a bit odd.

We have Morris dancing in England, thankfully that hasnt been turned into a Show and DVD.

not true, you can see and appreciate the skill and hard work that has gone into it, for me that does not make it any more watchable.
