I have noticed that some of the Lyrics and artists posted are not 'in my opinion' of Celtic derivation. Can anyone explain what constitutes an Artist or lyric to qualify as being Celtic?
Thanks Bigliver. |

QUOTE(Charlotte @ Oct 23 2005, 05:09 AM) Tell us what texts you think are not of celtic derivation and we will explain why they are there.  The most obvious are Billy Bragg, Elmore James and Andy Barnes. Some of the traditional songs such as Lord Franklin, Sam Hall and Bunch of Roses in my opinion are from the English tradition. Personally I�m not a purist, but I�m interested in the connection. |
