Talk:Celtic punk

message: I edited out a reference to ska a few months ago and now there's another one. How is this relevant? What "traditional instrumentation" does ska feature, and whose tradition is it? How is that tradition related to celtic punk? I was under the impression that most of ska's instrumentation was lifted from the American R&B scene of the 50s/60s.
Same with the reference to "Gypsy Punk." I think it would be better to either link to folk rock, folk punk, etc and let it play out from there unless there are direct connections to be made (e.g., the majority of gypsy punk bands being directly inspired by celtic punk bands). 149.159.112.45 01:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Calypso is more of a Trinidad thing, as described on its page. There isn't really a lot of traditional mento instrumentation in ska, especially not in ska punk. Bjart 02:47, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

message: It didn't seem right to have that link in the list, considering all of the other bands have their own pages, and this one was external.  I noticed the shite-n-onions was too, but I only took the band on out.  here it is: Lynched.  If someone else thinks it should be there, feel free to reinclude it.

message: I think it should be pointed out in the article that celtic punk are gaining foothold in Brittany. The band Les Ramoneurs de Menhirs, of wich members one is the guitarist from the well reputated french punk bank Bérurier Noir, combines punk with tradition breton music (and instruments, such as bombarde and bagpipes). Their popularity is growing in Brittany and marks a sort of beginning for celtic punk from Brittany, why is this deleted instead of modifiend and why is this now not mentioned at all?

replies: text: Absolutely true, it is ineeed not a sign of a trend, or the development of a scene, but it could be pointed out that it is the very first example of its kind of celtic punk (mixed with the traditional celtic musik originating from, and in some ways specific for, Brittany). I agree with you that references are needed, but the lack of references is a general problem in this article, and concerns most claims.85.8.12.201 (talk) 16:14, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Celtic punk from Brittany 

message: I can't believe what I read. Flatfoot 56 is not a Scottish band. The members are from Chicago. The statement that the members of these bands do not have Celtic ancestry is total BS too. Are you saying the Dropkick Murphys have no Irish Americans in it as well as the other bands? I guess this article could be fixed but I think that section really spoils this whole entry. I'd love to see what the cited material really states.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.228.230 (talk) 03:51, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have have tried to clarify this section, the implication is meant to be that these are North American bands using Irish or Scottish music as an influence. As to issue of Celtic ancestry, it is in a separate sentence, some bands may be completely made up of members with Celtic ancestry.--Sabrebd (talk) 07:52, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

text: I also take issue with the history section, including the specific ancestry line the unsigned user mentioned. Primarily because it sites a source published in 1994, before North American Celtic punk even really existed, as a reference for how "some have contained members with no Celtic ancestry." I just now cleaned up the grammar of this section because it was poorly written, and it was this copyediting that led me to notice the poor use of citation and case the sentence is making. I may return to improve this later, which would likely include removing this particular unhelpful text altogether. Documenting my view and intentions here.Brakoholic (talk) 15:25, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
