The name’s Flatley. Michael Flatley. He’s known by other aliases, of course. Lord of the Dance, the Celtic Tiger. The Bostonian who revolutionised Irish dance via the vote-counting gap at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 (which Ireland went on to win for a third year in a row), broke records by tapping 35 times a second and had his feet insured for around £50 million.
After Riverdance leaped and drummed and pummelled its way into popular culture, a cavalcade of blockbuster Flatley shows followed, which collectively have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars, euros, pounds, yen and plenty of other currencies, as they tour and tour again, crisscrossing the globe.
And now, Michael Flatley has written a spy thriller, Blackbird, directed by Michael Flatley, starring Michael Flatley, funded by Michael Flatley.
Michael Flatley is Blackbird aka Victor Blackley, a former secret service agent drawn back into his old life for some reason or another. I don’t know the full plot
