Celtic Recommendations, ...it's not just for St. Paddy's Days Options

[rokchik]

Hey everyone. A couple of people have asked me if I'd do a Celtic Music recommendation list so here it is. I've gone with just a few sub genres as most I could have just called "celtic Fusion". But if people come up with more I'll certainly add them. The majority of the bands I've listed are from either North America, Ireland or the UK, however I made note of a few that were from other countries as I know GMC is very diverse. Now some of these bands were hard to classify as they all do a bit of traditional, but hopefully it's a fairly accurate job. Please point out any errors you may see and please feel free to add ones I've missed. Hope you all enjoy
