You know the Celts died out over many thousand of years ago and have no relationship with Irish music today, so this is an Irish jig, not a Celtic jig.

[@pickinlessons]

Correct. Yes, it is an Irish jig. Celtic music is more of an umbrella term, I believe, which includes trad from Ireland, Scotland, England, etc. I'm sure some don't agree, but the terms do seem to be commonly used.
