A totally awesome and fascinating show! Devine's dancing is an amazing combination of rhythmic tap and step. He's fast, nuanced, and playful.

While being the headline, he shared the spotlight with his band, letting their talents shine and making the evening an amazing combination of contemporary celtic song and dance. Having Canadian folk rebel Ashley MacIsaac on fiddle didn't hurt either; Not only could his aggressive fiddling keep up with Devine's taps, his musings and banter got the audience energized.

It's great to see a high quality show that doesn't reduce celtic song and dance to a cultural cliché; instead, keeping it new, relevant, and very exciting.
