OPINION: It was during this year s Planet FM - a community radio station based in Auckland - Christmas party that I was waxing lyrical about my Irish heritage with a fellow Irishman. He asked whether I had ever taken up Irish dancing - of course I had - and whether I was involved in the Auckland dance community. I was not, but I had a teacher - Adrian Murphy - who would commute to Tauranga every week or so.
