Cowboy Celtic
The music of David Wilkie and Cowboy Celtic has been called a “beautiful evocation of just how much Celtic music inspired the melodies played around the campfires in the wild, Wild West.” Over the last ten years, David Wilkie has devoted much of his time to one of his favourite passions –the seeking out of Celtic origins of traditional cowboy music.
These musical and historical connections, and the influence of Celtic music on traditional cowboy songs, come to light in the group’s music, where they combine old world Celtic instrumentation and music with cowboy songs.
