The urban renewal of Celtic Music
If you think Celtic music means rustic old fiddlers and be-kilted bagpipers, you probably haven't seen what's going on in Boston these days. In concert halls and coffeehouses, at dance parties called ceilidhs (kay'-lees), and pub jams called seisiuns, the face of Celtic music is changing.
