GUEST,jimmyt Help: Is Folk music in England Celtic? (55* d) RE: Help: Is Folk music in England Celtic? 29 Aug 02


I think the original intent of the question (i asked it, I should know) was meant to be, could a person walk into a pub and identify either the style, rhythms, instrumentation, etc as either Scots, Irish, or English.No offence to the Manx, Bretagne, Welsh or Cornish, but just to simplify, Does it (English folk) sound different? I can tell Italian, German, and French music basically from the general rhythms and instrumentation. (at least I think I can, so I don't intend to start nationalistic sniping, just a simple question!)
