Day Out

[maggiebee]

Just home from Edinburgh. Went to see Lord of the Dance at the Playhouse - brilliant show from start to finish. Sorry Michael Flatley wasn't there in person but they did have a hologram of him at the end. Fantastic dancers. Some nice eating places too.

Sounds lovely, glad you had a good time.

Glad you enjoyed it, maggie. Doesn't Michael Flateley do it anymore ?.

[Caran]

I saw him do it years ago I think it was at Bristol, he was brilliant.

[maggiebee]

He still does all the choreography Tony, but think he's given up touring.

Didn't his knees or hips go a few years ago?

Wiki:

On 23 May 2015 Flatley was interviewed by Graham Norton for his BBC Radio 2 show and revealed that he had problems with the T1 and T5, the C3, the L5 bones and the Sacroiliac joint in his spine, a damaged left knee, a torn right calf muscle, two ruptured Achilles tendons, a fractured rib and a broken bone in his foot

Ouch!!

i saw him on a live tv show a few weeks ago dancing with his group for the last time - he said that the shows would continue with him as choreographer and producer
