Notes

This was music specially commissioned for Eurovision 1981.

According to Christy Moore, "…performing in the Eurovision. It was a truly memorable experience as Planxty played 'Timedance' for The Irish Ballet Company and 600 million Europeans went into the kitchen to make cocoa. The seed for Riverdance was sown and I got to bang my Bowrawn for Ballerinas."

"Timedance '92" was included in the (below) 1992 Bill Whelan release, The Seville Suite, performed by Planxty (minus Christy Moore)
