This is on now on RTE 1, think you guys can view this at rte.ie. On now.

You mean The All Ireland Talent Show? Crap, missed it.

That's the one, can you tell I never watch it?

Not as a contestant surely? Who is he dancing with?

Irish dancing is not always a damp squib.

First given a chance as the intermission act in Eurovision 1994, Michael Flatley, latterly of Lord of the Dance, Riverdance, Feet of Flames, and Celtic Tiger, earned a fortune of £400 million. Versatile Michael won the All-Ireland championship for Irish dance as well as flute solo, and filled in time as a trained amateur boxer. In a spare moment In 1989 he set a Guinness Book world record for dancing 28 taps per second....

He was dancing with one of the judges, Amanda Brunker, she had a few days of training with him, and then they performed live on the show, bit like an American Smooth. She did a good job.
