The term Celtic (Kel-tik)describes music and or customs which have a commmon cultural origin and include Irish - Scottish - Manx - Welsh - Cornish - and Breton Celts and also to those distantly related Celts of Austuria and Galicia in north-west Spain. Any traditional music or custom from these areas can be correctly referred to as Celtic, bearing in mind that there wil be differences due to outside influences and localized traditions. The music and customs from these areas would also have travelled via emigration to other parts such as the Cape Breton area and also parts of Newfoundland, Louisianna, and places too numerous to menton, through time there wouldbe changes to the music, some dramatic and some not so pronounced. If the music or song has it roots in any of these localities then it has the right to be referred to as Celtic or at best Celtic Style. I must agree with Clinton and say lets just enjoy what we have no matter what it is called. As far as the pronounciation is concerned I will CERTAINLY CONTINUE or is it SERTAINLY SONTINUE to call it Kel-Tic. Grin
