Riverdance action begins in High Court

A fashion designer who created the costumes for 'Riverdance the Show' has claimed before the High Court that he has been "airbrushed out of the history" of the world famous dance and musical sensation.

Designer Jen Kelly (agd 49) of North Great Georges Street, Dublin 1 has brought an action against Abhann Productions and Tyrone Productions, Mary Street Little, Dublin 7, for breach of contract. Abhann Productions is the company set up by husband and wife team John McColgan and Moya Doherty to control Riverdance.
