Where has celtic music gone?

Asked by MindErrantry (821points) February 9th, 2009

I’m planning a project that involves looking at the culture and music (particularly harp) of different celtic groups (by which I mean peoples, not bands). Brittany, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Galicia are the obvious regions, but anything outside of those places (outside of Europe, even) would be even better. The US is out-of-bounds. I’m thinking Canada and Australia primarily (though I don’t know about their harp traditions)—where else?

There is a large Scottish influenced community on Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, Canada. I would imagine there is a lively Celtic-influenced music scene there. Try to find other Scottish and Irish emigrant settled communities and you may should find traces of Celtic music. The groups I know of are mainly from Ireland, Scotland and Brittany.

I think it depends on what you mean by Celtic music. There are still Irish sessions all over the world. Most musical traditions evolve with the introduction of new players. What are you looking for?
