Riverdance name not to be used for shows, Russia tribute show unaffiliated

A Kerry music producer has told the High Court he will not use the name of Riverdance or Riverdance Tribute Show in promotions planned for Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania in October and November.

Counsel for Michael Carr and his company, Ceol Chiarraí Teoranta, also undertook not to use Riverdance names or trademarks in any business letter headings, websites, or advertising material promoting Irish dance and music shows in the countries concerned.

Barrister Brian Kennelly told the court that Moya Doherty and John McColgan’s Riverdance Ltd and Abhann Productions Ltd were willing to accept the defendants’ consent to a court order granting the restraining injunctions.
