Here are the very-difficult-to-find clips of Pat Roddy in Riverdance: A Journey . . . (I hope you can understand what I'm trying to explain in each!)
The Beginning Overview
- When "Thunderstorm" is performed live outside, Pat is third from left.
The Dress Rehearsal
- When the Irish dancers are practicing "Riverdance", you see the first shot of people bowing (includes Eileen Martin), then you see the rest of the people bowing, Mr. Roddy is the first guy you see from the right of your screen.
Showing Clips From the Riverdance the Show Video
- "Distant Thunder" - 2nd from the right.
"Live for Peace, A Royal Gala ITV"
- Nice closeup! - He is the only male dancer on the left in the first row.
- When they come into one line, Mr. Roddy is right behind Michael Flatley.
In London (1st run), Showing Clips From the Riverdance the Show Video

The Male Dancers Are Getting Ready For "American Wake"
- Pat is in the far back right of the room.
- In another shot, he is standing in front of the mirror (back of room but in front of the camera)
Colin Dunne and Eileen Martin Dancing the Leads
- When Colin and Eileen move into the line during "Heartland", Pat is the first male dancer right of Colin.

After the Cast Arrives In Radio City Music Hall, NYC, and After John McColgan Talks To Them Through the Bull Horn
- They clap and he is back and a little to the right of the red head who is front and center.
The dancers Are Sitting Around In A Practicing Room
- Before John McColgan talks to them about "The Floor", Pat is one of the three guys sitting on the floor in white t-shirts (cluster of four girls in front of him and you only see his head).
The Girls Are Crowding Into the Elevator
- A male dancer yells, "No! No! Get out!", Mr. Roddy is the first of the three guys to go in the elevator (he is in his white shirt and black vest).
Showing "Reel Around the Sun"
- In the circle, they show the dancers toward the back of the stage for one shot all girls and then another shot with a male, a female, and a male(Pat).
So there you have it, all the places Pat is (I think) :-)
