Brennan and Create TV host Michaela malosi yes fantastic oh it’s gonna be a great show I’m excited I am so excited I cannot wait now let’s go ahead and get to our first guest they are a global phenomenon and are joining us on our St Patrick’s
Day show this morning all the way from Ireland please welcome River Dance principal dancers Amy M Dolan and Fergus Fitzpatrick joining us on Zoom this morning good morning guys welcome to the show Happy St Patrick’s Day happy St Patrick’s Day hi hi how’s it going thanks for having
Us absolutely my pleasure so guys welcome to the show how will you guys be celebrating St Patrick’s Day today well we will be dancing as always alwayss um getting a little bit of river dance in um getting prepared for our upcoming tours in Australia and Japan
And we will be home in the G theater from June to September so right now we are training and prepping for all those TS ahead so on St Patrick’s Day we are Irish dancing and river dancing of course no fun oh my God excellent well
Top of the morning to you both and happy St Patrick’s Day and Amy May and Fergus tell me a little bit about your dance background before joining River Dance and how many years you guys have been dancing with the group so I joined River Dance uh nearly
Seven years ago but I have been dancing like my whole life you know uh probably much the same to Amy May I saw River Dance on TV when I was younger and just immediately wanted to start dancing it just like burst or just burst open this willingness and need and obsessiveness
With Irish dancing and I just couldn’t wait to like have the opportunity to be a part of river dance so I’ve been dancing since I was like eight years old and many of us have yeah that’s amazing I’ve actually jokes that I’ve been dancing since I was
22 months old so years old yeah and like fargus I had River Dance on videotape you know when we had those chunky vide tapes and I had Barney and my parents wedding video and River Dance and I watched it over and over and over again and like the majority of the current
Cast of River Dance most of us weren’t born when River Dance first surprised the world in 1994 so we have grew up wanting to be Irish dancers so that someday we could be a part of River Dance and like Fergus I’m about seven and a half years with River Dan now um
It’s a complete dream come true it’s been amazing to see the growth in the show in the seven years I’ve been there we are currently on our th anniversary production of the show and we’re getting ready to bring the 30th Anniversary out so we know that that’s kind of in the
Creative space right now so we can’t wait to see what the 30th anniversary is going to look like and it’s just a dream come true to be a part of River Dance wow fantastic good for you guys that’s amazing now Fergus you know this is a theatrical show that consists mainly of
Traditional Irish music and dance can you share with us the prep time now that goes into making a show like this for all audience to enjoy because I mean when you go to a river dance show you’re going to be very entertained and you’re going to want to get out of your seat
And uh dance with you guys come on now 100% audiences always end up jumping up on their feet and dancing along with us by the end of the show and we absolutely love to see that especially when you have uh children in the aisle pretending or trying their best to do
The same steps as we’re doing it’s just like it’s so inspirational for us it makes us love what we do even more and it’s just like Waring do you know what I mean like you get those chills through those moments I love that Amy May uh this show
I saw it over a decade ago in New York City and it was so amazing the choreography just blew my mind has the choreography changed much since say 1994 when it began till now that’s a great question because the core choreography um has remained the same but um we’re
Looking at a a new generation of dancers because of River Dance Irish dancing has just totally elevated it’s more athletic the stamina the fitness the flexibility the mobility the strength of the Irish dancer has just totally exceeded our expectations so with that that kind of brings a new feeling and energy to the
Show so it’s the same choreography we might be just doing it more sharper more intensely and also we have new numbers in the show that you might not have seen before so that’s new choreography and one of my favorites is Anna Livia it’s in the second half of the show it’s a
True reflection of female empowerment it’s absolutely Sensational and so the show has grown a lot and it’s almost 30 years we have a new set we have new visuals costumes that we introduced in 2020 and they are absolutely stunning so I would say the show right now is the
Best that’s ever been oh my God this is so exciting I can’t wait to see it and Fergus just expand a little more about your tour schedule you mentioned Australia Japan coming back to Ireland in the summer can we hear a little bit more about that and some other cities
You’ll be visiting absolutely we’re getting ready as Amy May said to Jet off to Australia very soon at the end of March we’ll be flying out and we’ll be starting in Perth I believe so we’re going to be in Perth Brisbane Melbourne and Sydney and I am so excited to go I
Know the whole cast is excited to go and most of us have never been to Australia before we’ve never experienced the Australian audiences so we’re all super excited to go this will also be the first time that the 25th anniversary production has ever been to Australia so
It’s going to be huge for Riverland and it’s going to be huge for us and then after that we’re going to go to Japan which is also incredibly exciting and we’re going to be in Tokyo and Osaka and then once we finish those incredible cities we’re going to be back home to
The beautiful gaty theater in Dublin for the whole summer and lastly when can we expect to see you back in New York City I know I am dying to see you again Noah’s gonna come on over and we’re gonna go will it be any time this year do we have to wait till
20125 fingers crossed for 2025 I know want to be there in 2025 I know Fergus both of us in the entire class would love to be in New York in 2025 with the 30th Anniversary production the New gener River Dan it will be the first time in River Dan’s
History that the entire class will be younger than the show so you can imagine the end that is going to bring um so we’re excited to see what it looks like and I hope you guys are too oh sure we’re going that’s right we have to plan a
Date for that mhm that will be a whole lot of fun now thank you guys so much for coming on the show for our St Patrick’s celebration for ticket information you guys please visit Riverdance tocom we’ll have that website appearing below where they will be touring in your area to see where

Great to see you and great to to speak with you from the you know the heart of the action here on St Patrick’s weekend now Gabe you were at one of Ireland’s most most famous castles tell us all about it this morning Noah check
Out these digs uh this is one of uh the one of the great castles out here in Ireland it’s Malahide Castle and Gardens this is a 12th century Castle so think about that 800 years of history and it’s set on 250 Acres of Parkland that are
Set right up against the Irish sea so people are out here in these gorgeous Fields bringing their dogs out for walks having some picnics doing tours of the castle the beautiful manur gardens there’s an exotic butterfly display here as well great eating on property to they also hold concerts throughout the year
You know Blondie sting Shia Twain Nicki Minaj and the like have all performed here so super popular with the locals and because it’s only about 30 minutes away from downtown Dublin very accessible as well fantastic great stuff right there now before we get to Ireland’s biggest holiday you’ve been on the road this
Week give us a couple of quick highlights of what you’ve been doing out there in Dublin all right so you know I always like to visit a different spot on the trip out here here uh for the first time I visited what is known as Ireland’s oldest city uh and that is
Waterford which is about 2 hours south of where I am in Dublin right now uh Ireland’s oldest city a great uh Greenway here which is an Old Railway that is now a hiking and biking trail for 30 miles so it’s all about that big open space and great culture here as
Well there’s a there’s a museum quarter where you’ve got at least a half dozen museums you can visit one after the other I visited the Museum of time uh which features time pieces that date back to the 14th century loved Waterford and also love Northern Ireland which is
Super accessible from uh from uh Dublin as well you know about a 90-minute drive gets you up to Belfast one of the great cities up there uh but of course I love the the Landscapes out there in Northern Ireland a lot of them became supporting characters in Game of Thrones of course
On HBO uh i’ love driving through those big open spaces and I love visiting what is now a great tourist attraction up there it’s a Game of Thrones Studio Tour this is where they filmed a lot of those scenes that Winterfell and Kings Landing they stopped filming Noah those sets
Remained intact and now you can go in and immerse yourself in the drama of Game of Thrones uh so anyway never a lack of wonderful places to see and wonderful people to meet out here in Ireland as you know you know Gabe one day I hope to get out there and come see
You meet you in person and be with the entire team uh on St Patrick’s Day because I’ve never been to Ireland but I’ve always wanted to go I say you bring the show on the road Noah I love it we’ll hold a place for you on the parade
Route this is actually the uh there’s a huge us contingency on the uh St Patrick’s Day Parade out here because they’ve got about a dozen different marching bands from the from different us universities and colleges uh and high schools this is video from last year
Which I got to cover in fact this is going to be my 12th St Patrick’s Day out here in Noah so uh it keeps it keeps on bringing me back uh but again a great us contingency which speaks to that emotional connection that we know is Alive and Well between the US and
Ireland these are some of the friends I’ve made this morning they’re going to be part of the parade on Sunday you know when it starts at High Noon out here in Dublin a lot of pageantry a lot of pump and Circumstance the theme this year is spark at that
Which speaks to the essence of Ireland and the Irish people uh you can’t help but uh do a little bit of dancing yourself when you’re out here no what can I say thank you so much gab it’s so nice to see you once again you keep on
Dancing and I will chat with you later my friend you got it cheers byebye happy St Patrick’s Day we will be broadcasting the parade to our viewers here momentarily but now let’s get to our last guest a couple of days ago I got to tape an interview with
Star Ted McGinley Melissa you should have been here for this even though she was in sunny Florida with her bff hanging out you know but you miss Ted oh my gosh did Ted say hello amazing Ted said hello and he told me to tell you happy St Patrick’s Day happy St
Patrick’s Day to Ted as well and I’m sorry that I missed it but uh next year yes that’s right but you guys can catch him in the upcoming Prime video series caring kingsberry the backers streaming on March 28th all three seasons so uh Melissa and I will have a lot to watch
On Prime video for sure right absolutely I can’t wait to catch it Ted is always so fun in all of his projects and uh looking forward to following this one for sure yes absolutely so you guys without further ado here’s a look at my conversation with Tad as we discuss the
Series and how he celebrates St Patrick’s Day take a look you guys hello Noah thanks for having me I appreciate it oh my goodness it’s nice to see you you and speak with you you look great in your set up thank you in red can’t you tell Ted my favorite color is red
Perfect and by the way it’s uh St Patrick’s Day we’re celebrating St Patrick’s Day uh we will be going to the parade here uh momentarily in Dublin Ireland but before we talk all about St Patrick’s Day it’s so nice to see you again how have you been I think the last
Time we saw each other which I think before we even hopped on here to speak with everyone uh was in 2015 at the premiere of Karen Kingsbury’s The Bridge Park too yes you know things have been great it’s been a very interesting period of time for for our industry
Um you know I was fortunate enough to have landed on a very popular Apple TV show called shrinking uh and Harrison Ford with yeah you heard of him before J yes heard yeah so it’s like did this really happened and then all of a sudden we got shut
Down the the strike uh happened and uh I should say the strikes happened and it it just I thought oh my gosh what’s going to happen because it’s so rare it is so rare it’s really lightning in a bottle when you get an opportunity like that and you don’t want to when it
Happens you want nothing to step in the way of that opportunity to continue and I that oh my gosh so thank God we’re back we’re working on season two and right now we’re on the third and fourth show of the new season uh and so I’m no one’s
Happier than me right now uh but it’s been good I’ve been busy I’ve I’ve been really busy I’ve done a lot of things since we last spoke I prod you have been quite the busy B doing movies and shows and look at you go Ted yeah the old guy is still
Still working well now you’re part of another project uh with Karen Kingsbury Karen Kingsbury keeps giving you a call to say hey T I want you part of this project and is for her popular characters of the backers how did you get approached to be part of this new
Prime video series which is going to start off with the first season and hopefully many more actually it’s we’re dropping all three seasons at one time on March 28th so yeah and so you can you can literally go from what you can spend you
Know a day and a half and go all the way to the show and they’re compelling I mean when each one ends you find yourself saying hang on I gotta see what’s happening uh so that’s very exciting Karen and I are are our good friends she is a massive
Talent the thing I like most about Karen yeah she really owns the faith-based space for her books but her books are not they’re they’re difficult I mean they deal with real problems um they they and not necessarily in a kind way very much like the world I mean it
Things happen and so in this uh very faithful tightnit family the backers of which I’m the patriarch and and romad Downey who is not only uh playing my wife and and my rock in this movie but she’s also she also got the rights to the books uh from Karen on her light workers
And roma is you know she’s amazing she has hand carried this ser series and held on to it so that she would be in control of it they couldn’t cut it up in pieces and they would only do what she what was their Vision together and so
It’s been pretty cool uh I Love Roma she’s amazing to work opposite uh and she’s just a wonderful boss and a lovely human being and and and mark brette she’s married to Mark brette and together they are one heck of a team and we’ve really enjoyed you know hanging
Out with them and doing the show together and uh Mark has Mark bernad has called this show uh Melrose Place meets the Bible and that’s really what it is it’s very edgy uh lots of goodlook girls and guys and and then this the world just comes out and so
It’s it’s going to be interesting to see I know Karen Kingsbury’s books her audience will find the series because they’re they’re already fans and she’s sold like 200 million 250 million copies so this would be a real experience to see who else comes in to see
It well I am very excited this is coming out you guys uh this month in March um and now we’re celebrating St Patrick’s Day today oh can you believe it Ted uh family in my family growing up my my grandfather’s from uh dunny Gul oh
And as a kid St Patrick’s Day was bigger than Christmas uh it was a big deal yeah and you I mean it was very s Christmas wasn’t a very big deal either but you but he always had his Irish music on uh and it was an old record player
Where you could almost hear the scratching as it went around and uh it was all great old tunes and he he decorated he was in his 90s and he decorated his own little house with with these green items and uh and then of course he had his
Whiskey uh but it was a those were great days I think of I have the greatest memories of St Patrick’s Day at his house and we had cabbage he would cook a cabbage that he would soak in ham juice uh and I’m the only one in my
Family that still loves it to this day it’s one of my favorite things no one will let me cook it because it smells your household now Ted do you still celebrate St Patrick’s Day today sure yeah you know if I’m not working the next day you know St Patrick’s Day is on a

Here now. Amazing.
I was there
I think we should do away with Saint Patrick's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, Christmas Day, Birthdays, Bank Holidays, Easter, Halloween, and every other crap day on the calendar, because they're nothing but idiotic manmade delusions. Get a real life you sad galactic species.
Happy St.Paddys Day to all 💚🤍🧡

Hey
I was in O'Connell Street, Dublin, last year, to attend the St Patrick's Day Parade : great atmosphere and souvenirs !
So what happened to all the Ukrainian flags? Moved on to another sheep issue. 😅
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! How are you celebrating today? We hope you all enjoyed the parade this year! #StPatricksDay ☘
Happy St Patrick's Day!
Mockery of St Patrick that is not what St Patrick's Day is all about. The celebration of being Irish is not why we celebrate St Patrick's Day. It's a Catholic holiday not a secular blasphemy.
Happy St Patrick's Day
Thank you for broadcasting this! That’s my little nephew playing the cymbals at 1:39:43! 😆💖 John F Kennedy HS from La Palma, CA was actually the first JFK HS in the USA, named for President Kennedy (and given the mascot The Fighting Irish) in his honor shortly after his tragic assassination.
Happy St Patrick’s Day from Hamilton, Montana
`nice
Where's the Christianity ?
I love Ireland. So warm and joyful. Good broadcasting.
It's nice to see Roman Catholics enjoy the British evangelical Christian ST Patrick. Who was sent to the heathen Irish by a British evangelical Christian church to evangelize them. Sadly though the Irish have rejected God's Word of TRUTH and have fallen into idolatry, adultery and drunkeness continually.
more foregn people than Irish at it
Watched this with my 3rd Grade Language Arts Class all the way from Guatemala!!!
SOOOO many errors and misinformation by Francis Brennan. He should NEVER be allowed to commentate on anything ever again!
Thank you so much for broadcasting this! I was one of the trumpet players marching with STVM Fighting Irish marching band, and we really appreciate your warm welcome and excitement for us to be there <3
