… in case anyone’s wondering, when they all chant in unison in the middle, they’re counting “one, two, three, four!” but in Irish. “A haon, a dó, a trí, a ceathair!”

My wife and I had the immense pleasure of meeting Mr Flatley and his family after a Carly Paoli concert in Cadogan Square, two tears ago. What a gentleman he was. I asked him politely if he would join myself and my wife Teresa for a photograph and he said yes. Forever a legend in my eyes. Thank you again Michael.

My mom loved these guys when I was a kid in the ‘90’s and I was so embarrassed. But I’m 30 years old now, and this is just hypnotizing. Say what you will, there’s thousands of hours of practice under all of their belts.

He's really getting on in years but still has a strong stage presence. I understand that people hate him, especially those who learn from him because he only demands absolute perfection, anything less than that is not fair to him. Conclusion like many other (geniuses) Humanly rather reprehensible or dirty but artistically an exceptional talent.
