I was trawling through Youtube a few nights ago and came across Cathal Dunne's "Happy Man." It was our Eurovision entry in 1979. All of us in Cork were really up for it, at the time, because Cathal was Taoiseach Jack Lynch's nephew.
It was held in Israel and the Israeli tv channel did a national feature on each country before its entry was performed. Their Irish feature is at the start of the Youtube clip. It's hilarious and got me wondering if Riverdance's roots or inspiration go all the way back to that night . . .
Enjoy!
