Description:
Celtic music has captured the ears and hearts of people all over the world with bittersweet a cappella ballads and lively jigs and reels. Although most commonly associated with Irish and Scottish music, Celtic musical influences are also scattered across northern France, USA, England, northern Spain, Canada, Wales and beyond. Crammed with swirling fiddles, flutes, pipes, harps, guitars and mandolins performed by some of the best musicians from across the diaspora, The Rough Guide To Celtic Music explores the common connections between the Celtic traditions.
