Celtic

Celtic music originated in the folk traditions of Ireland and Scotland, embodying the spirits of merriment and melancholy whilst attempting to avoid decent dancing at all costs. Characterised by fiddles, flutes, and an abundance of jigs and reels, it sounds like a lively pub gathering where everyone simultaneously tells a story and attempts to impress with their slightly questionable vocal prowess. Often depicted in films as the soundtrack to epic quests or mildly inconvenient family gatherings, it has managed to charm audiences worldwide, proving once again that a good tune can unite folk, even if they're not entirely sure what they’re singing about.
