Step 2 - Celtic Rock Band (IRE, EU, US, UK)

Celtic Rock Band (IRE, EU, US, UK)
Group performing celtic music (a general term meaning mainly, and pertaining to: Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, Nova Scotia, Brittainy).  Celtic music is a term utilised by artists, record companies, music stores and music magazines to describe a broad grouping of musical genres that evolved out of the folk musical traditions of the Celtic peoples of Northern Europe.  As such, there is no real body of music which can be accurately described as Celtic, but the term has stuck and may refer to both orally-transmitted traditional music and recorded popular music. The latter sometimes has barely even a superficial resemblance to folk music of any of the Celtic cultures, but on the other hand it sometimes represents sincere work towards adapting Celtic traditions for modern, global culture. A professional website is mandatory for this category.  The group must be published with at least one CD to their credit.
 
  • Check the criteria for your nomination category above.
     
  • Only those nominees in the Irish music field will be considered, so please nominate only professional Irish musicians.
     
  • Do not make nominations from other genres of music, for example, Garth Brooks who wrote a song about Ireland would be considered a country music singer, not an Irish musician.
     
  • A relative who happens to sing “Danny Boy” very well, is likely not a professional Irish musician.
