rec.music.celtic Frequently Asked Questions
http://www.cs.uu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/music/celtic/faq.html

"This document attempts to answer the questions which are asked on a weekly basis in the REC.MUSIC.CELTIC newsgroup. REC.MUSIC.CELTIC is an unmoderated forum for the discussion of all issues relating to Celtic music. Generally understood, 'Celtic music' refers to the folk musics of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, (Spanish) Galicia, Cornwall, the Isle of Man, and certain parts of Canada (esp. Newfoundland/Cape Breton), as well as more recent musical styles (i.e. rock, jazz, new age) that draw heavily from these folk traditions. It should be understood, though, that not all musicians who hail from Ireland/Scotland/Wales/Brittany/etc. necessarily play Celtic music."
