Resurrected!
If you've found this blog, you've found the new version of irishdancefacts.blogspot.co.uk
Sadly as I haven't updated it for 3 years or so, I forgot the password and am locked out. I've created a new version of the blog to satisfy my own craving for facts and stats as much as anybody else's :)
All manner of pointless posts coming soon.
