From the 'Backstory of Riverdance: Clash of the Dancers,' section of my new eBook comes the best description of this podcast. 'In 1996 when I interviewed Michael Flatley, how could I have known that our little chat would leave Jean Butler incensed? Or know that, a year later, she would deliver via another interview, with me, what me editor correctly described as a "blistering broadside" against Flatley? Or that the latter would end up scolding me as if I was a wayward child?' But I also say in the intro to this podcast,' I tell a tale about the origins of Riverdance which has not been told elsewhere to this day. Certainly, the behind-the-scenes story has bever been told in this way and it probably won’t be because of confidentiality clauses that were written into Riverdance contracts after an interview I did with its composer Bill Whelen. But this eBook focuses on Butler and Flatley.'

Yes, in the eBook and the podcast I gave more space to Jean Butler becuase I have always believed that she has too often been written out of the story.
