At the end of the night as a sort of palate cleanser came Armand Van Helden’s wistful melodious “Flowerz” a modern house classic that was a clear break and offered one hint of where the Martinez Brothers might be headed. The brothers have been D. ’ing in clubs for four years but as producers they’ve released just a handful of singles meaning that their own sound remains something of a mystery. Whatever the case it will probably be inadvisable in the future for the pair to be introduced as they were on this night as “the Doogie Howsers of dance.

We’re groupies. We travel wherever they go. ”Kathleen is sitting with Ann-Marie Foy the children’s grandmother taking a break at the Mulvilhill-Lynch Feis. It was they and not the girls’ parents who first introduced the kids to dance and they never suspected how much the children would take to it.

Even England’s victory over Australia in the semis made little impression and the West Indies duly beat the hosts in a thrilling but largely overlooked final amid the gathering winter chill. This time around English cricket has something extra to contend with: Twenty20 its own terrifying overgrown Ritalin-fuelled offspring.

Elworthy only came on board in January but has already promised rather worryingly to “capture the imagination of the world”. This will be done by following the new-format gimmickry “the dug-outs and DJ boxes and dance podiums” although he has stopped short of introducing “dunk tanks” a kind of lager-flavored paddling pool in which rotund leering men can safely sunburn themselves.
