Description

The study of "Celtic" culture has been locked with modern nationalist paradigms, shaped by contemporary media, tourism and labour migration. This volume collects critical essays on the global circulation of Celtic music and the place of music in the construction of Celtic "imaginaries". It provides detailed case studies of the global dimensions of Celtic music in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Brittany and amongst diasporas in Canada, the US and Australia, with specific reference to pipe bands, traditional music education in Edinburgh, the politics of popular/traditional cross over in Ireland and the Australian bush band phenomenon. Contributors include performer musicians as well as academic writers.
