Description

The celtic races inhabited most of Europe but the comtemporary traces are to be found in the West with the Gailic region (Scotland and Ireland) and a second region comprised of Cornwall (southwest of England), Brittany (northwest of France) and other pockets in spain (Galica and Asturias). The Irish famine, the Scottish clearances and various Gold rushes resulted in celtic music being brought to the US, Canada and Australia. Although usually associated with the harp, fiddle and pipes much celtic music has been adapted to fingerstyle guitar in the last fifty years. (by ADF)
