Thread Name: Riverdance. Good or bad?
Subject: RE: Riverdance. Good or bad?
I can't say I watched the video that closely. The dancing is great, of course. The piper was excellent. I was just annoyed by the new-agey celt-oid songs. There are so MANY lovely traditional Irish songs, couldn't they have used a couple? Nothing wrong with composed music, of course, and I happen to like some that might be called new-agey or celt-oid. But in this context, I felt cheated, no, I felt Irish music had been cheated out of a chance to really reach that audience. Just my opinion
