"Celts" were once all over Europe, and would have had hugely varied cultures and musical styles throughout the region and the centuries.

I'm doing this because most "Celtic Music" nowadays claims origin in these areas, especially Ireland and Scotland. I really depends on what you mean by "Celtic Music." And, for that matter, what you mean by Celts.īy "Celts," I'm going to narrow the definition to the people who lived in what are now called the "Celtic countries," Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, and Brittany.
