I really enjoyed your show, and was just wondering if you could inform me of where to obtain the music from the show, for the clarinet. Thanks Rachel. Rachel Kedge 195.232.10.21 <REKED@compuserve.com> Nr London, England - Thursday, February 05, 1998 at 11:34:30 (PST)

Michael. My wife and I visited Lord of the Dance pm Thursday 5th Feb. after coming through by coach from Hull with friends. You, the cast, the perfomers, lighting, sound, musicians and dancers are to be complimented for an absolutely fantastic show. We managed to get seats in block G ground floor in front of the stage and the effect of the sound/dance was almost overwhelming. You deserved the standing ovation. Best of luck for the future. Barbara has not been too well lately with Asthma as she approaches her 60th on 5.8.98 and coming to the show with a meal in the town before hand certainly helped to cheer her up. Thanks again. Best wishes for the future. Clive and Barbara CROSS 152.163.206.235 <CCROSS4772@aol.com> HULL, England - Friday, February 06, 1998 at 08:55:48 (PST)

We went to see Lord of the Dance last night at Manchester Nynex (06/02/98) and we are still on a high from the fantastic performance. Michael Flatley and his dancers were fantastic.

Bought 12 tickets nearly a year ago. Finally saw the show Feb 5 at Manchester, Nynex Arena. It was Absolutely brilliant. You must do another UK tour soon - we'll be there! Thanks for bringing us 'The Greatest Show On Earth.' Tim Fuller 194.168.99.232 <tim.fuller@which.net> Newport, Shropshire, UK - Saturday, February 07, 1998 at 13:08:11 (PST)
I went to see lord of the dance today in Manchester. Fantastic show. I was a bit dissapointed to find that Gillian Norris was not playing Morrighan the Temptress. Please could you let me know what has happend to her and Daire Nolan. I present an Irish music show on hospital radio Metro, in Leigh, Lancashire - Please let me know if the soundtrack is available and can I have permission to play it for patients enjoyment. I was an Irish step dancer for many years and so enjoyed the show very much, it was an emotional experience to be there. Please give my regards to Michael Flately if that is possible. My Love and Deepest Blessings to you all, Granville Wallwork Granville Wallwork 194.117.154.97 <Shambhala@cableinet.co.uk> Manchester, England - Saturday, February 07, 1998 at 13:21:12 (PST)
After booking tickets for LOTD June '97 the big day finally arrived. Saw LOTD today at Nynex. What can I say? I must of watched the video a thousand times over and nothing can compare than actually seeing the peformance live. My admiration goes out to all the dancers for the dedication to such a spectactular show.I just wish I could rewind time back to this afternoon. Michael, after a well earned break I'll be intrigued to see what your next project will be!! Wishing you continuing success whatever it may be.

From a fellow Irish dancer and musician I appreciate perfection. Michael you and your exceptional cast display a performance of perfection. Congratulations. On another note I am trying to get in contact with Mairead Nesbitt. I had the pleasure of playing with her and her sister in a competition in Sligo around 1982. Her mother asked me to form a trio with them and we played a few tunes on the steps outside the town hall before the event. I would appreciate it if whoever reads this message would kindly pass on the Mairead. Please also say hello to Cora Smith for me as well. We were in UCG together. Keep up the good work.

I have just been to see The Lord Of The Dance at Nynex Arena in Manchester. I have had the video for along time and so I know the show quite well. However watching it live is like nothing I have ever seen before in my life. The show was excellent and I don't think that I will ever forget the atmosphere generated by the whole cast. A most enjoyable show, I wish I could see it again... Maybe I will get the chance, who knows

After months os waiting I finally saw Lord Of The Dance at the Nynex Arena in Manchester (UK) on Saturday 7th Feb at 2.30pm. I have written the whole time down as I want this moment to remembered. What a stunning creation from Michael Flatley. The whole cast is incredible and I just hope that the show tours the UK again soon (stopping at Sheffield Arena as well!) The atmosphere the show created was breathtaking and I cannot remember the last time a live performance like this had me astounded... probably never. Lord Of The Dance is something I believe everyone should experience. (And just beofre anyone makes a sly remark... I was using the name 'Spirit' long before Mr Flatley brought it to Lord Of The Dance!) The Spirit 194.164.0.114 <the-spirit@legend.co.uk> Sheffield, UK - Saturday, February 07, 1998 at 16:46:40 (PST)
Saw the show tonight in Manchester- absolutely amazing, even better than the video! Peter Bates 195.232.28.27 <DrPeter@compuserve.com> Knutsford, CCheshire UK - Saturday, February 07, 1998 at 17:33:25 (PST)
Dear All, I went to your stunning performance on the 27th Jan 98' with my grand mother. We had been waiting months and was excited of the 27th arrival, unfortunately, I was attached on the 22nd, and it was touch and go if I would be able to make it. However I did make the show and it has given me the strenght to see me through this difficult time, i was filled with happyness and it is still there and always will be now. I thank you for a wonderful complete stress free evening, the show is ULTIMATELY the most well put togther show ever. And if you could find it in to your hearts to scan me a autograph of Micheal Flately, I would be forever content. Yours cordially Debby Howard Debby Howard 195.11.50.208 <Debby@conner1.demon.co.uk> Ramsgate, United Kingdom - Saturday, February 07, 1998 at 18:28:08 (PST)
My wife and I together with our son went to the Nynex arena at your Manchester venue, after the show we were discussing what we had seen, and our comments are : spell bounding, magical, the best show we have ever seen, far better than the video, we like all the people who attended were greeted with a show of exceptional talent and professionalism, we are certainly looking to see the show again. Thank you all very much for a wonderful night of entertainment. David Slater 195.62.194.123 <dslater@netcentral.co.uk> United kingdom - Sunday, February 08, 1998 at 01:29:53 (PST)
The show on the 7th Feb. at the Nynex Arena was brilliant! Look forward to the next show. Christine Hargreaves 195.232.22.152 ST. Helens, Lancs UK - Sunday, February 08, 1998 at 04:14:18 (PST)
