Thread Name: Celtic music
Subject: RE: Celtic music
England's folk music is not Celtic. The Anglo-Saxon's displaced the Celtic tribes before the first 500 years A.D.. Some of these tribes went to Wales and Scotland some to Cornwall and other outposts but the "new people" from Germany and the boarder of Denmark spoke what we know today as English. Music or narrative from this time onward should be defined as "English folk". Nuts to the Normans!
