Hi, Welcome to My Page.......xx....

Profile Information

I am a ...
Fan
About me
Hi, I am very proud to be Grandmother (Nanny) to Bethany (see Bethany's Page), a six year old Irish Dancing fanatic, whom I help and support in every way I can with her ID.


What Irish things do I play, dance, say, sing or other:
Would love to Irish Dance but am afraid it would take me too long to get fit enough to do so.....will have to settle for 'tapping my feet' while watching Bethany.......
However, whilst on holiday in Ireland last summer I did buy a Bodhran, together with instructional DVD and CD's (inspired by the musician in Riverdance),.......so watch this space........between you and me I have always had a secret yearning to play the drums......
Favorite Music
Irish Dancing music, especially Dean Crouch. I also like Take That (I know, very sad for a person my age)......lol.....Will Young, James Blunt, Katie Melua, John Barrowman (he is fab live....great showman & personality).
Dancing Level
I do not dance, but if only I were younger, and fitter I would give Bethany a run for her money, as they say............lol.....
How many years have you been Irish dancing?
Bethany has been dancing for 2 and a quarter years and has reached Open in all of her light dances. During 2008 she won three U6 Championships, McGahan Lees, Kinsella & Solent. Bethany competed in her first major championship, the All Scotlands in Oct '08. She is now working on improving her heavies.
Favourite Irish Dance Show
Have seen 'Riverdance' four times, including once at The Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, and will be going to see 'Lord of the Dance' November '09 - yes it is a very long wait - but I have most of the famous ID shows on DVD. Michael Flatley is still the tops......
I love this about Irish Dancing:
The energy of it, the versatility of it and the rhythm of the music.
I love this about Irish Tradition:
The friendliness and warmth of the people.

Riverdance - The final tour

Hi, I have just come home from seeing the great 'Riverdance', for my fourth time....To be honest I was not overly excited about going this time as I thought I may find seeing it for a fourth time to be a little boring but to my surprise, it was THE BEST performance by far of all those I have seen, including the one last summer in Dublin....IT WAS BRILLIANT...a really good production and I did not want it to end.....Bethany sat next to me throughout (apart from having a little dance in the isle d… Continue

Bethany (6) dances at the local theatre.....

On 30th & 31st January '09 The Boyd School of Irish Dancing performed a number that had been specially choreographed by TCRG Ian Boyd in the pantomine 'Peter Pan' at their local theatre The Wyvern Theatre, Swindon, UK (see the You Tube video above) for Charity, they were playing the part of Indians....Many of the girls had never danced on a large stage before and they had only had 4 weeks to devise and practice the routine....Ian (soon to be ADCRG..) plays the leading man...lol....Bethany, t… Continue
