The list above demonstrates the breadth of Celtic music, but have you ever wondered where Celtic music originated? It can loosely be defined as traditional music of the Celts who were to be found in places such as Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Thirty years ago Celtic music was associated primarily with the traditional music of Ireland and Scotland. This would include music such as reels and jigs, and also Celtic songs of the two countries often simply referred to as folk songs.

Many of today's well known artists have their background in this era of Celtic music. For example Enya started her career playing the traditional music of Ireland.

Since then we have had Celtic New Age and Celtic Rock. Celtic New Age is based around synthesizers and heavy effects in attempting to capture the feel of Celtic music. Both Enya and Clannad now produce this style of Celtic music, and they have been followed by Loreena McKennitt and Sara McLaughlin.

Celtic Rock was introduced by Runrig who are a Scottish band. Runrig combines Scots Gaelic in a modern rock band and their success has resulted in many imitators. Most of these Celtic Rock bands incorporate some aspect of traditional Celtic sound such as fiddle, bagpipes or singing in Gaelic.

In essence, you can describe Celtic music how you like – as long as you enjoy it. Personally, I find a pint or two of Guinness helps!
