1. Celtic race

A recent DNA survey showed that the Welsh from more remote areas were distinctly different to the English. The English in general were much more closely related to the Danes than to the Welsh.

1. Songs

Some songs which I understand to be English


Wild Rover (Norfolk)
Black Velvet Band (Barking, London)
Danny Boy (words by an Englishman)
Curragh of Kildare
