One story from Ireland...
It just makes you want to get up and DANCE!
The Dixie Micks were playing (clever) and this amazing guy just started dancing so frantically you couldn't help but smile. It was the greatest dance I have ever seen in my life... I almost peed. I think it is part irish, part michael jackson, part totally nuts.
As a side note, the fiddle player Fergal Scahill just won (they said) 'fiddle player of the year' in traditional irish music magazine... he was amazing to watch. His mom was in the audience cheering him on (the lady in the middle at the end of the video), and I think just as amazed at this guy as the rest of us.
After this a bunch of drunk swedish girls started dancing with him and rallied everyone else in the bar to get up and pretend to know what they were doing... great times! Go Jameson and Guiness!
