Celtic
music has been enjoying an incredible revival in recent years, and Nova
Scotia is recognized worldwide for its celtic traditions and outstanding
musicians. Celtic music has
been featured in film scores, tourism promotions, numerous recording
projects, on radio and television, and on performance stages. Celtic music provides a great representation of Nova Scotia
for your out-of-town guests; why not consider hosting a "ceilid" (Gaelic for “party”) for your clients? Celtic
music includes Scottish, Irish and Acadian styles, all of which are
distinctive. The beautiful
music of Cape Breton Island strongly represents the Island’s heritage
and traditions and is unique. Many
outstanding international performers began their careers playing in Cape
Breton’s local community halls, churches, etc. and have not forgotten
their celtic roots. Celtic
music today is used in rock bands, in combination with symphony
orchestras, by choirs, etc. often creating a unique “fusion” between
the old and new.
Examples
of celtic groups include fiddle and guitar duo; celtic harps; celtic bands
which can bring the house down with their jigs and reels and move you with
beautiful airs; costumed Irish and Scottish dance groups; bagpipes; etc. Examples of available artists may be viewed on the right.
