'Ballroom Blitz'

'Ballroom Blitz', the documentary presented by Adam Clayton, explores the phenomenon of Irish showbands, 'the soundtrack to Ireland as it danced its way through a revolutionary period of growth and prosperity in the 1960s'.

But if you're living outside of Ireland you probably didn't get a chance to see this two-part documentary.

That's set to change with news of an upcoming release for 'Ballroom Boom', as its now titled, in other territories. Once details are confirmed, we'll post them here.

Speaking to RTÉ Entertainment for the original broadcast Adam said, "It was interesting for me to go back and look at that era. I realised what an enormous legacy was there, and what an enormous debt U2 and everyone that came after us and before us had to that period.

"Less than 10 years after Irish independence, these bands were traveling the country and people were getting out and dancing. It was the social media of the day. This was how people met their partners, their wives, possibly lovers . . . that's if there was sex going on in the country before TV. I don't know."
