Celtic Curiosities: Travelling Around the World
The second entry in an ongoing series of celebrating Celtic folk music. This list will feature artists from Celtic regions as well as artists from non-Celtic countries. Three clovers equal a great jam, four clovers an essential listen and five constitute a masterpiece. Entries are loosely ranked chronologically, with more non-European entries in the latter half of the list. |
