Celtic rock fuses traditional Irish and Scottish folk music with the energy and instrumentation of rock, blending fiddles, tin whistles, and bagpipes with electric guitars and driving rhythms. The sound often carries a spirited, pub-sing-along quality that celebrates working-class culture and Celtic heritage. It ranges from punk-infused anthems to melodic folk-rock ballads, united by its rootsy authenticity and infectious energy.
