Michael Flatley achieved huge success when he performed Riverdance at the 1994 Eurovision Contest, before following that up with his own stage show, Lord Of The Dance

Last year, the choreographer set up a Lord of the Dance to raise money for the Ukraine in their conflict with Russia. 

2018 saw Flatley expand in the film business, after he directed and starred in his own film Blackbird, where he plays a MI6 Operative who is drawn into coming out of retirement.
