The first comprehensive overview of this important stylistic off-shoot. Rock music infused with traditional Celtic sounds began to emerge in Ireland in the late 1960s\/early 1970s with the likes of \u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGranny's Intentions\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSkid Row\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eThin Lizzy\u003c\/strong\u003e all laying down their markers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut this musical development was certainly not restricted to the Emerald Isle as bands from other countries with Celtic heritage also began to merge their own Celtic roots music with rock. Tracks included here by acts from Wales such as \u003cstrong\u003eHuw Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eY Nhw\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eHeather Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEdward H Dafis\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as those from Scotland such as \u003cstrong\u003eBert Jansch\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Martyn\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAl Stewart\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRunrig\u003c\/strong\u003e, show that this was no local development but a growing international sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere was also a significant swell of acts having the same idea in France as can be evidenced by the output included on this set of French artists such as \u003cstrong\u003eDan Ar Braz\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKyaldan\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNamnètes\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAlain Samson\u003c\/strong\u003e. Added to this are the British Rock and Folk Rock bands utilising Celtic forms and sounds such as \u003cstrong\u003eFairport Convention\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSteeleye Span\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePentangle\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEast Of Eden\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eWishbone Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eFaces\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eTrees\u003c\/strong\u003e, all of whom feature here, to give the full picture of one of the most interesting in original strands of rock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strawberry","offers":[{"title":"CDx3","offer_id":50429779509579,"sku":"2194744","price":23.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Screenshot_2024-04-10_at_14.11.33_b7c6e980_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1726841427","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/as-i-roved-out-a-story-of-celtic-rock-1968-1978","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
