Where can I find this god?




Pat RoddyEileen Martin


These are all from Riverdance the New Show...

"Reel Around the Sun"
- after the 4 men make a star, it stops turning for a beat so more people can be added to each "branch". On the right "branch" Pat can be seen joining this "branch".
- again the star turns and we see Pat's "branch" is closest to the audience, here you can see Pat's profile as a female joins the line.
- when the dancers first make the circle, Pat is totally turned away from the camera.
- while the camera is at stage level during there rotation, Pat is towards the back of the stage when we next see him. We have to look through the dancers in the front though.
- finally, troupe emerges again with Colin Dunne leading it. They are in 2 lines. I'm almost sure that he is the second male dancer in the right line.

"Thunderstorm"
- in this number he is obviously in one wearing leather pants! :-D

"Riverdance"
- Pat is the only guy on the left of the lead couple.
- he remains the only man on the left in the front row.
- in the single line towards the end, Pat is the first man to the right of Colin Dunne.

"American Wake"
- throughout this whole scene Pat is wearing a beige vest over a green T-shirt and gold-colored pants.
- in the beginning semi-circle, he is closer to the women between the women and the men.
- right before Colin and Jean come out, there's a close-up of his beaming face.
- when they are in a big circle around the leads, they close in to raise their joined hands and exclaim "Hey!", he has his back to the camera.
- then they spin in couples- ballroom style - they resume their circle. He is on the far right (you can see his costume).
- just before the close-up of Jean Butler and Colin Dunne, while twirling Pat and Eileen Martin are at the back of the large circle.
- during the song, "Lift the Wings", Mr. Roddy is framed between Katie McMahon and Morgan Crowley.
- after the song, Pat and Eileen are one of the first couples to resume spinning.
- soon the dancers form two circles. One is inside the other and he is in the inner circle between Jean Butler and Eileen Martin.
- just before the end of the number, you can see Pat and Eileen twirling at the back of the stage.
- as the dancers say goodbye, Pat and Eileen are one of the last to split. They are near Colin and Jean and can't be seen very well.
- He is the second to last man (before Colin and Jean) to ascend the stairs.

"Harbour of the New World"
- when the men come out, Pat is second from the top of the stairs on the right in the group on the stairs. He is wearing white shirt and black pants for the next dance, "Trading Taps".

"Trading Taps"
- Pat Roddy is usually the Irishman on the right of Colin. He is very easy to spot because of his blond hair. He is also shorter than the other dancer, Glenn Simpson.
- Later on, he is the guy who does all the "cheering" for Colin (i.e. "Woo!" and "Come on!")
- in single line at the end, he is the man to the right of Tarik Winston.

"Heartland"
- During this number, he is next to Dearbhail Bates and the second male dancer to the left of Colin Dunne and Jean Butler.

"Riverdance International"
- in the "Trading Taps" recap, he is the Irishman on the right. What a great close-up! :-D
- at the end, when they are in two lines, he is between Maria Pages and Glenn Simpson. He is to the left of Colin.
- he dances with Andrea Curley
- and at the very end when everyone is leaving the stage, Pat puts his arm around Maria Pages as she walks off stage.


So there you have it, all the places Pat is (I think) :-)
