    Loreena McKennitt does not recreate ancient Celtic music. It's not even remotely Celtic. Bagpipes, harps, tin whistles, bodhráns and such things were not in use at all around 250 BC in western Europe.

    A little off topic here, but I'm curious, and from what I've seen of you in the frontroom I think you would know; do you know anyone who *does* do actual Celtic music? I know McKennitt and her like are more New Age than Celtic, and I like that, but I would like to know more about traditional folk music too.

    Oh, and a general question to the devs; is there any chance of seeing more of Nick Wylie and Morgan Casey's music in EBII? I'm guessing not, but I really like their work, so one can hope.
