Thread Name: Favorite Celtic songs for singing
Subject: RE: Favorite Celtic songs for singing
"Any song or tune from the British Isles that is not from England."
So songs in Cornish wouldn't be Celtic but things like The Dowie Dens of Yarrow would be - even though the former is from a Celtic language tradition and the latter isn't? One wonders if the original poster was meaning Celtic (as in from a Celtic language tradition) or Celtic (as in those parts of the Isles which aren't England) or Celtic (as in he means basically just Irish and Scottish type music ). I suspect it might be the latter but it is a confusing term whcih means different things to different people
