Michael Flatley on Riverdance at Eurovision

It is 1994, Bill Clinton is US President, the Spice Girls have just got together and Brazil are about to become World Cup champions.

Ireland is on a winning streak too, not in football, but at the Eurovision Song Contest.

The annual event was being hosted in Dublin and Ireland, once again, took home the trophy.

But it was the interval act that made the biggest impression: Riverdance, with a then-unknown dancer, Michael Flatley.

He has been speaking to the BBC about that night.
