After saying goodbye to X-factor post Jedward, I moved my panel-judged reality competition needs to TG4′s An Jig Gig; the finale of which is on this Sunday at 8.30pm. If you’re thinking Irish or Irish dancing is not your scene, you’re mistaken. Not only is this quality competition telly, some of the dancing in it is amazing, in particular (my favourite) Irish Beats. Irish Beats are fascinatingly good. I know feck all about Irish dancing but I know these three young lads are brilliant to watch. They’re modern and novel, they dance with serious power and precision and they have the look. The week before last they danced to Daft Punk and last Sunday they danced to Snow Patrol - check this out:

Got to love this. Well done to all on St Patrick Street in Cork who did this on Saturday, as a protest against funding cuts to the arts, as organised for the National Campaign for the Arts. They’re still inviting signatures for their petition. Well done too to Egomotion for the videos. There’s loads of videos of it on You Tube including the rehearsals.

London T-mobile dancers, you have so been beaten. Beaten hard. The “flash mob” that did this dance in Antwerp beat you hands down… While I think things like this are great, the novelty of the “surprise” wears off quickly. Have to give it to the organisers though - getting that many people to coordinate their dancing is impressive. Plus, it looks like it was great fun. Would something on this scale ever work in Ireland?
