At the end of this vid, MF shows some of his old style, throws a few punches. Speaking of old...just watch the vid, if you can stomach it. Gotta love those Navy uniforms. :thumbsup:

Mick Flatley performed brain surgery in his spare time when he was eleven.

Mick Roundley formally changed his name after losing 200 pounds on a Cheez-Whiz diet.

This is starting to turn into a "Chuck Norris doesn't...." threads.

"Michael Flately doesn't dance, he forces the stage to rise to meet his feet in time with the music."

OK, lame (of course) but I haven't finished my first cuppa yet.

I was wondering today if there are some recording of MF on trad music in the last 10 years...
I remember someone told that he has been seen playing in some sessions....
I've listened to the "recent" mp3 on his website but I wish to have someting more trad.

his 1979 record is... Wonderful...

you can't really hear MF, MM blows his away (or maybe his mike is louder but i doubt).
But I'll have to listen to his 1979 record...
