"RiverDance" on PBS

reply        CALLING ALL CELTIC MUSIC & DANCE FANS!

reply	KCPQ (channel 9, PBS, Seattle) is going to be airing the 
	musical extravaganze "RIVERDANCE -- THE SHOW" in the next
	couple of weeks.  It is a dancing showcase tracing the 
	history of Irish dance and the influence it has had on 


	(and received from) other cultures.  It has a cast of 80,


	including several international musicians, the Irish choral 
	group Anuna, the Riverdance Troup, and a variety of other 
	well known dancers.  Originally designed as a competition
	segment for the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin in 1994, 
	it has since been broadcast to millions of viewers on both
	sides of the Atlantic; and the roadshow is selling out in 
	London, New York, and other cities in the US.  The video
	has become mandantory homework for most Irish dance companies


	(including mine); and everyone who I've heard has seen it,


	raves about it.  I definitely suggest you & your vcr tune in!

	The Seattle airdates are as follows.  For those of you in
	other parts of the country, call your local PBS affiliate
	and see if they are also carrying it.  (The show is 80 min
	not counting pledge breaks.)

	Sat, Nov 30 at 7pm
	Sun, Dec 1 at 8pm  (airs twice, back-to-back)
	Mon, Dec 2 at 2am  (airs twice, back-to-back)
	Wed, Dec 4 at 9pm and 12mn

			Happy Dancing!
