Thread Name: Help: Is Folk music in England Celtic?
Subject: RE: Help: Is Folk music in England Celtic?
Oxford English Dictionary- Celtic: "A general name applied in modern times to people speaking languages akin to those of the ancient Galli, including the Bretons in France, the Cornish, Welsh, Irish, Manx and Gaelic of the British Isles."

Pronunciation according to the Oxford English Dictionary: "Celt (selt), also Kelt (kelt)." From Latin Celtae.

Now what should be the collective name for the music of these peoples? Ukranian??? Sino-Japanese??? Or just perhaps Celtic?

This thread is possibly number one hundred and ought six on this subject.
