Aims
This site aims to provide New Zealanders interested
in Celtic music (particularly Irish and Scottish) a
starting point, a place to find an instrument, a teacher
or an event to go to. It also aims to develop networks
within the Celtic music community in New Zealand. We
are also aiming to establish some links between the
dancing and the music. Please browse the site and feel
free to contact
us if there is anything else you would like to see
here.
The future
We plan to develop this site to better provide services
for the growth of Celtic music in New Zealand. We are
looking for:
Committed people - to help spread the love of
Celtic music around the country
Programmers - for ongoing web development (PHP,
perl & mysql)
Sponsors and donations - to enable this to remain
a free service to the public
Why Celtic music?
Celtic music (particularly Irish and Scottish music)
is an integral part of New Zealand's cultural heritage.
Of New Zealanders with European lineage, around 20%
claim Irish ancestors and a similar number claim Scottish
ancestry. However, the music that came with these immigrants
is no longer common in New Zealand. Those who try and
learn it often find that they are not near any tuition
or that they do not know where to start. You can find
more basic information about Celtic music on the resources
page.
Listings
