Riverdance & BBQ

The weather was really nice this weekend so on Friday night SJ and I decided to have a BBQ in the back garden...was really nice, plenty of food and plenty of drink...

On Saturday night we went to see Riverdance. It was absolutely amazing! It was on at the NIA in Birmingham and we'd bought the tickets a couple of weeks prior. We did have a slight mishap in that I thought the NIA was actually the NEC Arena...wrong...

I must admit that Riverdance was one of the best shows I've ever seen, the tap dancing is unbelievably fast but the best bit in my opinion) is the guy who does the percussion. He must have about 15 instruments to play and he is worth paying the money just to watch him play.

I didn't realise that there was more than one Riverdance company. The one we saw was the Carrib. They have others who tour the US and Ireland.

The NIA itself I wasn't that keen on, it was very stuffy and not particularly welcoming...just a load of seats and lighting, still it does its job I suppose...
