Christmas Celtic Sojourn: Melissa McCarthy, Slip Jig | WGBH Music

Each year, A Christmas Celtic Sojourn works closely with Liam and Sally Harney’s Academy of Irish Dance in Walpole, MA to incorporate the best of young Irish traditional dancers in the region. Well you can imagine the delight of all involved when we secured the services of Melissa McCarthy who at this time was the reigning champion of the WORLD in the Slip Jig. This is the dance she brings us here what cast and crew came to know as The Fairy Dance. You’ll see why. Grace and youth, beauty and form all with a most wonderful tune. One of the magic moments Christmas Celtic Sojourn 2012, and there were many. -Brian O’Donovan Subscribe to WGBH Music Link:
