"I met Jean Butler and Michael Flatley in Lillies Bordello in Dublin a couple of years ago, just as Riverdance was taking off. I was particularly struck by both of them. Flatley, for all the negative press coverage that I have read about him in Ireland, was quite a shy, unassuming, soft-spoken and intelligent man ( he gently and humorously endured a barrage of adverbs and adjectives, strung together staccato -style, by a very inebriated Bill Graham, who wanted to discuss the evolution and fusion of Irish and Appalachian tap-dancing). Jean Butler was of course the gorgeous, leggy female lead of the original Riverdance troupe and I got to do my own little jig with her on the dancefloor - I felt as good as if I'd done five rounds with Mohammed Ali!. Bobby Ballagh designed the original Riverdance show, not me, as has been assumed before. He did a very fine job, but did he get to boogie with la belle Jean?. A friend of mine, Greg Wheeler, asked me to work on the Riverdance TV and cinema commercial and this has been my only involvement to date, that is until I manage to sweet talk Jean Butler into posing for me.
