Originally created as a seven minute interval act for the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, Riverdance was quickly transformed into a full-length stage show and had its first performance at the Point Theatre, Dublin in February 1995. Since then the show has been seen live by more than 22 million people and by a television audience of nearly 2 billion. Riverdance CDs, DVDs and videos have sold millions of copies worldwide and in 1997 composer Bill Whelan was honored with the Grammy Award for 'Best Musical Show Album' for the Riverdance CD. This collection includes 20 pieces from the show, arranged for Piano, Voice and Guitar. Lavish photography is included, alongside introductory notes by Bill Whelan himself.
