The following is a few heart felt words sent to me from Sean Connell in America whose appreciation for Irish folk music has grown substantially over the years thanks to this site.Thanks for the help. I wish I could shake your hand. I am 31 years old and have played the guitar since I was 15 or so. I have always been into folk music, I incorporated some Irish folk into my American folk. But I was never as focused on Irish music as I am now. I owe it all to you. I have been using this site for several years. I cant be sure how long. I think I was with you since real early because I have seen the site grow exponentially. I remember when it was a lot smaller. I try to turn as many people on to it as possible. Anyway, this site alone has been the reason for my rapid learning of Irish folk, my confidence to go to the sessions, and reaching my ultimate goal of forming my own band with a fiddler and a mandolin/bohdran player with me on guitar and vocal. I cant thank you enough. I only hope we can have a session together someday. Keep up the good work, you are the only one who is doing it, and you are doing it for free, because you love Irish music, just like me--- Sean Connell RI USA originally from Boston.
comment: I wanted to thank you for this site. I was introduced to the tones while I was in college some 20 years ago along with groups like the Chieftains, The Clancy Brothers and others. I have maintained my passion for this rich and wonderful music to this day. As an American of Scots/Irish descent I have, as you noted, learned a great deal of the history of my family's home not only from the music but from the research that those songs inspired in me. As a sometime guitar player I am thoroughly enjoying the addition of the great rebel songs to my list for local parties and get togethers with friends. I enjoy introducing people to the music and the nation I love so well. This rich history and heritage must never be allowed to pass away for mere commercialism or politics. Thank you, God Bless and keep up the work. Keith Rankin.
Colin Flavin 2007. I wrote for a ballad competition in Listowel, it is a social commentary on the changes Ireland has experienced. I love the stories and memories my grandmother shares with me and the memories she has from her mother, of the community, the family together singing, talking, telling stories a real oral tradition, and this is what I think is also kept alive through you collecting these songs so we can continue to get together and sing them and share them again and again. Nowadays I think people are more interested in possessions and wealth and a lot of society has become cruel and hard and have forgotten that we are all one community and share a marvelous rich culture.

Introduction - Celtic Songs
Celtic music has a rich history, dating back thousands of years. Originating from the Celtic tribes of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, this musical tradition has evolved over time and has had a profound influence on modern music. Through its unique blend of melody, rhythm, and storytelling, Celtic music has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. In this thesis, we will explore the origins of Celtic music and how it has influenced modern music, particularly in the genres of folk, rock, and pop.
Origins of Celtic Music
Celtic music has its roots in the culture and traditions of the Celtic people, who inhabited Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. These tribes had a strong oral tradition, and music played a significant role in their daily lives. The Celts believed that music had the power to connect them to the spiritual realm and was often used in religious ceremonies and rituals. They also used music as a form of storytelling, passing down their history and legends through song.
Instruments used in Celtic music were primarily made from natural materials such as wood, animal skin, and bone. The most common instruments included the harp, fiddle, tin whistle, bodhran, and uilleann pipes. These instruments, along with the distinct vocal style of Celtic music, created a unique sound that was immediately recognizable.
Influence on Modern Music
The influence of Celtic music on modern music can be seen in various genres, including folk, rock, and pop. Celtic music’s influence on folk music is perhaps the most evident, as many folk songs have their roots in Celtic music. In the 1960s and 1970s, the folk revival movement in the United States and Britain saw a renewed interest in traditional music, and many artists began incorporating Celtic influences into their music.
One of the most significant contributions of Celtic music to modern music is the use of traditional instruments. Artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Joni Mitchell incorporated instruments like the tin whistle, fiddle, and bodhran into their music, giving it a distinct Celtic sound. This influence can still be heard in contemporary folk music, with artists like Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers incorporating Celtic elements into their songs.
Another genre heavily influenced by Celtic music is rock music. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Celtic rock movement emerged, blending traditional Celtic music with rock and roll. Bands like Horslips and The Pogues fused traditional Celtic instruments and melodies with electric guitars and drums, creating a new and exciting sound. This fusion of genres can be seen in modern rock bands such as Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly, who continue to incorporate Celtic elements into their music.
Celtic music has also had a significant influence on pop music. From the 1990s onwards, there has been a rise in the popularity of Celtic-inspired pop music. Artists like Enya, Clannad, and Loreena McKennitt have incorporated Celtic elements into their music, creating a unique and ethereal sound. This influence can also be seen in contemporary pop music, with artists like Ed Sheeran and Hozier incorporating Celtic elements into their songs.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Celtic music has had a profound influence on modern music. Its unique blend of melody, rhythm, and storytelling has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. From folk to rock to pop, Celtic music has left a lasting impact on various genres, and its influence continues to be seen in contemporary music. As we continue to see new and exciting fusion of genres, we can be sure that the influence of Celtic music will continue to thrive and evolve.
