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.

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.
Billy Bragg - Man in the iron mask -> Bardic (German band) (Celtic influenced)
Elmore James - Dust my blues -> Inchequin (Band from Lurrighan, NI) (Celtic influenced)
Andy Barnes - The Last Of The Great Whales -> Sung by The Dubliners
