The sound

Fiddles, pipes, tin whistle, bodhrán, harp and accordion; jigs and reels for dancing, slow airs and ballads for listening — and Celtic rock, which plugs it all in. The folk radio guide covers the wider folk world.

A little history

The modern Celtic revival was carried by records and radio: the Chieftains, founded in Dublin in 1962, and Planxty in the 1970s took Irish traditional music worldwide, Alan Stivell did the same for the Breton harp, and the Festival Interceltique in Lorient has gathered the Celtic nations every summer since 1971.
