Irish traditional music in general was HUGE late 80s up into mid 90s. I remember Secret Garden won Eurovision in 1995 on behalf of Norway, but their song (Nocturne) really ripped off the celtic fad that was rampant at the time. To me, it sounded more like something out of Ireland than Norway (though it's probably not what you're looking for).

If not riverdance, it might have been a modernized version of one of many traditional irish jigs?

I had not considered it, and will look into this weekend, thanks very much for the idea

As for a modernized version of a traditional irish jig, very possible --- but i've been browsing through every jig that i can on youtube and cannot find the melody (on page one there's a link to where I am humming it)
