    Are there any "ordinary" Irish people at The Royal Albert Hall or is all "Irish" hob nobs?

    None. And the ones that are at it are trying to recreate the Ireland they left 70 years ago.

    Heard someone say that the President had a big say in the celebration assume it was choosing who would perform etc so expect it to be a lot different to the awful one they put on when the Queen was in Ireland. Enjoying it so far. Great stuff. :D Sent relatives abroad the rte player link and they're all watching it too.

    They make all male Irish dancers nowadays look like barmen...

    I hate the arm waving thing they are 'obliged' to do. In my day...creak...etc, we had to keep arms still. There is a happy medium, I think.

    Why when you have a crowd diddly-eyeing do they kill the buzz and put on a "skin the corpse" song.....

    I agree with you Lynn.....I read the other day that they were banning sleeves of costumes being sown onto the side of dresses.....in the interest of Health and Safety....:D

    For those of you liking the venue -

    The Royal Albert Hall is amazing - acoustics are second to none

    If you ever get a chance to see/listen to anything there - take it.

    Amazing place

    Proms there every year - you can watch on BBC HD aswell - brilliant

    Jeez they even have Niall Horan from One Direction seated behind the President ...hardly representative of "ordinary Irish people"...didn't realise he was such a fan of Irish culture !!
