ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY. A SOULFUL
EXPLOSION.
A celtic rhythmic feast with
twists of modern ingenuity.
From the queue around the side of
the building I knew I was in for something good.
Little did I know I was going to see
the legendary world record holder and Irish tap
master, James Devine, in his own choreographed show.
I was absolutely blown away. It was
like a mad-hatters tap dance ceilidh; a celtic rhythmic
feast with twists of modern ingenuity.
Fiddler Ashley MacIsaac and percussionist
Dave Boyd demonstrate how simple instruments can
make complex music combining traditional with contemporary,
and then make it their own.
The members of group merge perfectly,
creating a soulful explosion - and they have such
a laugh doing it.
Thankfully, there is a giant screen
providing views of Devine's feet so you can gape
at every tap, scuff and stomp.
