Donal Lunny - Linte Ceoil Cheiltigh

This series is a musical travelogue, representing a chronological journey, as Dónal Lunny travels the thousand miles from the Outer Hebrides to Galicia. As he travels he records, building upon a series of carefully researched key tunes, layering and juxtaposing the traditional music of the Celtic nations. Could traditional music, that passed on orally, hold real evidence, tangible clues to a common Celtic heritage? ​For The Celtic Songlines Dónal travelled to all of Europe’s Celtic nations from The Hebrides in the north to Galicia in the south visiting the Isle of Man, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany as well as Ireland. Along the way he met with musicians, historians and folklorists who helped build a fascinating picture of what Celtic musical identity means in modern Europe.
