So I guess we won't be seeing you at the Arizona Highland Celtic Festival in Flagstaff this year, huh?

Huh.  So what's the best song ever, Dr. Demento's "The Funny Farm"?

If you're talking of the Glasgow football club, it's a soft 'c', otherwise it's a hard 'c'. No, I don't know why, and I've been an Albaphile for decades.

Seconded. Modern Celtic music is characterised by fusion of many styles and cultures, as typified by the Afrocelts. The Red Hot Chilli Pipers are fantastic live, an absolute hoot and also immensely skilled musicians. Other such bands to look out for are the Peatbog Faeries (staggeringly good live), Salsa Celtica, and Shooglenifty, to name but a few. There truly is a musical and cultural Celtic Renaissance going on, which reflects the multiethnic, inclusive and progressive nature of modern Scotland in particular. Very, very exciting.

If you fancy travelling to Glasgow in January, the annual Celtic Connections festival, stretching over some weeks, gives a very strong flavour of the immense variety of Celtic music.

If I can't have Paul Mounsey/Nahoo, I'll take Hevia.

By the way, the guy is from a land called Asturias, next to my own (Galicia). Just to impart a tiny lesson of spanish geography :-) How odd. Looks like an iPod compatible walking cane.

Somewhat less glamorous than the lone piper standing on the battlements of Edinburgh Castle.

Esa canción es la leche

This song reminded me it was time for a massage, with that throwaway music those places play. That's what this song is — a throwaway.

Aw cmon, life's a gas and so is this artist's version of Celtic sounds mixed with some Islamic vocals and a disco kinda beat?  What's not to like? Made me remember my other Celtic hybrid, Afrocelts. Huzzah! The Arizona Renaissance Festival begins the second weekend of February. And by the way, how do you pronounce the word Celtic? With a hard K like "kale-tics" or the S version like "sell-tics". A very good friend of mine that was born in England and actually speaks the language, insists that the correct way is "sell-tics". The only words he taught me was "good morning ladies", brae caná lassies.

6....no...7...okay...8...wait...6...yes, 6....maybe a 7? 

This is easily my favorite bagpipe song ever.  

...this one's grown on me; pleasantly refreshing this afternoon...

i am usually a total sucker for celtic influenced music, but this really irritated me.
