I am new to Nova Scotia and am an accordionist with a long background in playing Scottish music for dances along with many other styles looking for musicians to jam with. Please let me know where to reach you and thankyou. Haike Kingma/Hubbards N.S.
We enjoy the celtic connections festival here in Glasgow every February. Do any of the young musicians from Cape Breton ever take part? I would love to hear them play. It is always kicked off with the transatlantic sessions which is always an amazing night. Just wondered if we could look forward to seeing them there or at any of the venues throughout the month.
Im trying to save up to visit Cape Breton by summer of 2024.
I’m of Irish and Scottish ancestry, so to hear that my ancestral culture thrives up there only makes me want to visit more
While debate is healthy (as long as it is respectful), John Taylor and Valvallaria, you are taking things very seriously. I invite you both to come to Cape Breton Island, have a drink of our amazing whisky, go to a local ceilidh or square dance, chat with the locals and simply enjoy yourselves. Whether you think we're Celtic, Gaelic or otherwise, we're fiercely proud Cape Bretoners, we have a vibrant, living culture, and most importantly, we know how to have a good time : )
I’m hoping to visit Cape Breton this August. Where can I find information on locations for great local music on Cape Breton in early August? Thanks.
only... wooooh, my family has been singing Celtic song for generation

Whos yer fadder b'y?
Sykes and Oppenheimer argued for significant immigration from the Iberian peninsula into Britain and Ireland. Much of this argument was based upon Y DNA evidence, however by 2010 several major Y DNA studies presented more complete data, showing that the oldest-surviving male lineages had mostly migrated to Britain from the Balkans, and ultimately from the Middle East, not from Iberia
In fact many archaeologists don't call ancient peoples of Britain 'celts' anymore, just iron age people. The idea of celts is actually a new one--only from the 17c.
In northern Spain, where the main source of geneflow into Britain was from, people aren't that dark. They never have been. But anyway, in most of the 'celtic' areas on Britain,brown/dark brown hair is the most common. it's over 40% in Ireland and even the Romans said that the Welsh, probably the darkest of the British isles,
they're
Please, I wonder about if your ascendants came from France, or if they where gaelics from some land nearby Belgium, Netherlands, or Germany,...or if them came from first places where settlers created cities in todays' North America. No clear about french gaelics or english galeics anyway Joseph came to Egypth.
Most of the original settlers in Cape Breton were Gaels from Scotland who came here to escape the British who had stolen Scotland from them. Cape Breton is in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. Nova Scotia is Latin for New Scotland. Cape Breton also has a large French community too, scattered all over the island.
It seems that I can't go on any vid and not see people arguing. I hope that God takes us away soon, or we are doomed. In the meantime, grow up people.
As a scot this kind of creeps me out abit. My culture is history to them were as to me its just normal.
I get how it may seem that way from the outside, but the reality is that these Cape Bretoners have actually managed to preserve many aspects of the original gaelic culture that was lost in Scotland.
The English stole their land and kicked my ancestors across the sea--to Cape Breton. And I am exceedingly grateful! (My devout Presbyterian ancestors undoubtedly considered this verse in Genesis - in Gaelic, of course -"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive." (Gen. 50:20)) :) Cape Breton is gloriously beautiful!
Cape Breton wasn't beautiful for those who gave up their health and their lives to dig up coal. No, it wasn't a good fucking deal; having your land stolen, and shipped across the ocean TO SLAVE FOR ENGLISH MASTERS ffs.
Canada is a fucking colony, and it still fucking is (being colonized by multinational corporations instead of the Crown now though) , but now we got smart phones, YAY!!!!
Most of the Scots who did get kicked off their land were kicked off by fellow Scots. And many, if not most, who came to Canada, did not "SLAVE FOR ENGLISH MASTERS", AFAIK.
This is the most retarded thing ive heard all month
Damn those English..;)
I am Scottish (for real), for the most part it wasn't the English that kicked us off our land, it was the Scottish elitists in Edinburgh, do your research please.
It's like arguing about apples, really. Only difference is that the difference between us are propably a lot less visible than those between the sorts of apples. As I said. The real driving force is culture and what people want or know, not some fancy geneticblah, which WILL be used by people to discriminate against eachother. (and don't tell me they won't - I have experienced that myself.)
everyone looks like family 3 genarations gone from loch lomand nova scotia
The earliest peoples of Britain seemed to have come from Iberia mainly but this was long before the celtic period. The neolithic farmers possibly spoke a form of proto-celtic; almost certainly celtic languages in some form were in Britain by the bronze age.
Wrong all wrong the Mi'kmaq are the first people in Cape breton island, we have a word for in it in mikmaq "unamaki" land of the fog, your history is part of Residential School in Shubie you should just be honest from now on.
Yeah, because everything always stayed the same in history, didn't it?
o.o holy f people, how do you have so much time on your hands to fight like this? What a waste of energy.. Anyways, love Cape Breton music and am proud of my heritage even consider my self lucky to have been able to grow up there. Call it Celtic or not at least try to enjoy such good music! :)
bring the proof
You are forgetting the natives
My family was born there and lived there and saved your kind form eating each other to make it through the winter
The Bretons had a stronger Celtic heritage than the Normans. Brittany took its name from the strong influx of Britons during the Dark Ages, reinforcing Gallo-Roman resistance to the Franks. Brittany has a level of R1b-M269 twice as high as the other regions of France tested, but also has a higher level of haplogroup I1 (12%), just above that found in Lower Normandy (11.9%).17 This may be a Viking marker, rather than Frankish, since Brittany was controlled by Vikings from about 919 to 939
Cape Breton is the name of the island. It was settled by Scottish Gaels in the Highland Clearances and their culture forked out into a different path from those who remained in Scotland, and it is still around today.
Cape Breton was settled by Scottish Gaels after the highland clearances and up until the early 1800s. There is no relation to the Brittany region.
Archaeologists widely agree on two things about the British Iron Age: its many regional cultures grew out of the preceding local Bronze Age, and did not derive from waves of continental 'Celtic' invaders. And secondly, calling the British Iron Age 'Celtic' is so misleading that it is best abandoned.
And well, what if it is invented. Who cares? EVERY CULTURE on EARTH is invented. It's what culture IS. Its the exact opposite of "nature". It is what people do, it is what they wanted to do. it always has been. There is no ancient right to something, just because their parents or grandparents have done it. It was simply what they liked to do or were used to do. That is what culture is. Everywhere and at any time.
The people of Iron Age Britain were physically very similar to many modern Europeans and there is no reason to suppose that all Iron Age Britons had the same hair colour, eye colour or skin complexion. Iron Age Britons spoke one or more Celtic language, which probably spread to Britain through trade and contacts between people rather than by the invasion of large numbers of Celtic peoples into Britain. Currently, there is no evidence for such an invasion at any time in the Iron Age ...
Actually, YOU made the claim. I have science. Linguistic science, genetic science, even history itself disagrees with you.
YOU made the claim and YOU will prove the claim YOU made first.
next you will be telling me bagpipes, tin whistles, kilts , are all celtic
actually that's true
Seriously, can't you write normally? Do you have to spam like this? It doesn't really support your point. And again: people determine what they are. Their sense of nationalism and culture. Nothing else. It is how you are brought up and so forth, not your ethniblabla. Even rulers have seen this. That is why imperialists always have supressed regional languages and tried to force their own onto them.
by your logic , that means most irish are actually english, because they speak english .. language does not determine ethnicity
most people speak english in scotland , does that mean they are english
their not even celtic , their viking
However, there is one thing that the Romans, modern archaeologists and the Iron Age islanders themselves would all agree on: they were not Celts. This was an invention of the 18th century; the name was not used earlier.
u suk
However, language does not determine ethnicity (that would make the modern islanders 'Germans', since they mostly speak English, classified as a Germanic tongue). And anyway, no one knows how or when the languages that we choose to call 'Celtic', arrived in the archipelago
they were already long established and had diversified into several tongues, when our evidence begins. Certainly, there is no reason to link the coming of 'Celtic' language with any great 'Celtic invasions' from Europe during the Iron Age, because there is no hard evidence to suggest there were any.
Hint for you: Iberia actally was celtic as well. "portuGAL" "GALlicia" - or even "Gauls" from latin "Galli" - Celts. Oh crap. you fail. And thank you for showing it again: It's people who determine what they are, not ethniblah. Scots speak english and are otehrwise pretty indistinguishable - the only difference is their nationalism and so forth. And that is not determined by genetics or crap, but culture and how you are brought up.
yep you keep lying to yourself ..... show me proof that celtic people lived in ireland .... go on
oh, so you are pretending to be celtic now .... there is no such people . there has never been celtic people in the british isles
