 Celtic music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Celtic music is a broad grouping of musical genres that evolved out of the folk musical traditions of the Celtic peoples of Western Europe.
The Celtic music scene involves a large number of music festivals.
The term Celtic music may refer to both orally-transmitted traditional music and recorded popular music some with only a superficial resemblance to folk styles of the Celtic peoples, some in a serious work to bring the originalities of the celtic traditions into the modern world.

There is also the notion that 'Celtic' implies Celtic mysticism and a particular influence in new-age music which has little to do with traditional music.
It is also worth remembering that even a term such as 'Irish traditional music' is a lumping together of many different styles, from the raw, Scottish-tinged music of Donegal to the lyrical, easy-going style of Clare and many other regional styles that are only partly compatible.
Thus, in the absence of a better term ('folk' or 'world' music are sometimes used but are much vaguer), and with the realization of it's shortcomings, 'Celtic' is what this ring is named.
