First comment:

Celtic Music: A Complete Guide, June Skinner Sawyers, Da Capo Press, ©2000, ISBN 0-306-81007-7

It's been done well before.

Second comment:

The publisher is a known "books-for-bucks" outlet. They have produced some things with "content," but expectations should not be held too high.

The "input form" looks like they want to know about "performers and groups," more than about the music. Those of us who perform might consider whether to claim international fame and "true authenticity" there. If your group gets included - you could get groupies. NOTE: This is not a recommendation that anyone post there. Use your own judgment.

Books about music don't sell. If you look in any major book shop, you'll find that the only thing in the "Music" section is stuff about musicians and groups. I'd guess this "new" book will fit in.
