List of Celtic choirs
This is a list of choirs that sing at least part of their repertoire in a Celtic language. Celtic Choirs keep alive Celtic music traditions and language, bringing them to a wider audience and reinforcing the learning of Celtic languages.[1] Choirs compete at Celtic festivals such as the National Mod in Scotland and Welsh Eisteddfod.[1] The London Welsh Male Voice Choir and the London Welsh Rugby Club Choir sang the Olympic Anthem at the Closing Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.[2][3] For choirs in the UK, please see the separate entries for each country.
