Subject: RE: czeltic roots
Gradually Celticistan expands to cover vast areas, with plenty of historical backing. Galicia and Galatia slipped in early. Surprisingly Denmark has resisted for a long time. Cosidering it was inhabited by a tribe called the Cimbri(according to Roman writers) it is surprisng it has not been totally taken over by the bodhran and low-D whistle. It always surprises me that plentiful recordings exist of northern European traditional folk music exist, which sound lovely and generally pretty much what you'ld expect in terms of their geographical position England sounds fairly close to Ireland, miles away from Galicia. But their modern "folk" or "roots" groups tend to sound ...well, you know the kind of thing.
