You view on English folk music is uneducated and ignorant.

@MonsoonMally Nope Northumbria was an independent kingdom till the Danish invasion in 867 and became part of the Danelaw. It was not a part of England in 927 when the English nation was established. English, Norse and Norse-Gaelic kings fought for it until it was finally absorbed by king Eadred in 954. Ceded to Scotland in 1018 and then to England with Norman kings in the 11th century. The region continued revolt and rebellion as seen in the Rising of the North in Tudor times.

@MarcelGomesPan At it´s biggest, the Northumbrian kindom of the Angles actually streched into what is now the Scottish lowlands (almost all the way to Edingburgh). The Saxon areas where more to the south (Sussex, Wessex, Essex and so forth. Either way, ALL of these peoples (and more) should have influenced both English and Scottish culture.

I guess that makes my country a "worse" part of Europe since Scandinavia never had any big Celtic populations, while all of the British isles has a large Scandinavian heritage.

There was differing opinions through time when it comes to national borders around Northumbria where both Scotland and England claimed the same territories. This was however later and Northumbria had already been both Anglish and later "Danish".

@MonsoonMally

We really should be talking music, and not this ethnic childishness,

but

England, like Ireland and Scotland, Wales, and the better part of Europe for that matter has undeniable Celtic history, namely before the Romans.

There have been studies saying that most of the blood, the stock of the British Isles was there even prior to the Celts, and analogous to this, the same with Europe and Indo-European speakers....

Anyway, bagpipes happened much later, in dark or middle ages...

I say Mr Comenowmrbond, what load of bollocks! Northumberland derives it's name from north of the Humber land and the people are hence Northumbrians. Once an ancient kingdom that stretch north from the Humber to Edinburgh, and lasted some 300 years.

@MonsoonMally Anglic, actually, not Saxon. General point is correct though. It's not stolen from the Scots or Irish.
