GUEST,Rich(stupidbodhranplayerwhodoesn'tknowbetter BS: Does CELTIC music exist??? (49) RE: BS: Does CELTIC music exist??? 01 Aug 00


I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of Celtic Music as being a marketing ploy. Every St Patrick's Day you see scores of Scottish pipers. Irish songs pn Robert Burns Birthday. Breton and Galician recordings for sale at Irish festivals etc....ad nauseum. One the plus side I probably would never have listened to Breton music if it hadn't been introduced to me as another type of Celtic Music. On the other hand, Altan is playing here next month and there will surely be those who have heard the unicorn and so they know they don't like Irish music but would go to see a "Celtic" band if one was playing!
