  • Description

    This is the soundtrack CD and score to the stage production that has stunned audiences in Britain and America with jaw dropping performance after performance. Created, produced and directed by James Devine, Tapeire is the new Celtic inspired multimedia dance production that features the Guinness World Records 'Fastest Dancer in the World' himself, who clocks in at an astounding 38 taps per second to create a whole new kind of theatrical experience.

    Honouring past traditions, but blasting them feet-first into the 21st century, Tapeire is pure entertainment. Teaming up with a motley crew of mind-blowing musicians including multi-platinum Canadian Celtic rebel Ashley MacIsaac, and award-winning composer and multi-instrumentalist Phamie Gow, Devine infuses Celtic Tap rhythms with fiddle and multi-percussion in an exhilarating hiphop and funk jam session that celebrates the past, present and future of Irish dance.

    It is Riverdance with a youthful street edge. After its world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, UK on August 3, 2006, Tapeire received a Total Sell-Out Award having accomplished 25 consecutive sold-out performances for the entire run of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, a rare feat achieved by few companies who perform at the Festival.
