My only knowledge of Kernow before that was that of Jamaica Inn, The Pirates of Penzance, Rick Stein and Bodmin Moor. I now know that it has so much more to offer. The gathering of the Celtic Nations together, sharing a common bond of heritage and complementary cultures ignited a spark within me to pursue and develop further links with our Celtic neighbours. Music, Folklore, Placenames, Proverbs, Humour and even our Languages are elements we share as Celts. Our annual coming together to meet old friends and make new ones, explore new landscapes and plan our next gathering serves to cement our links with our extended Celtic Family and keeps us in touch. As we come together this week in Newquay, let us pledge to support each other going forward into the future, which holds many and varied changes and challenges for us as a group. There is a Cornish phrase "Kehaval on ni oll a-rag tonn” (We are all equal before a wave). That is a Celtic wave! As I welcome all our delegates to Newquay, I extend our grateful thanks to the Cornish Branch for their hard work and dedication in hosting the Congress this year. Meur ras, Aine Ni Fhiannusa President of the International Celtic Congress Maggie Taylor – Chairperson of An Guntelles Keltek Kernow We, in the Cornish Branch of the International Celtic Congress, look forward to welcoming all our friends from far and wide to the 2019 International Celtic Congress. It was not hard to think of a theme this year; the Archives of Cornwall have been transferred from Truro, the Duchy capital, to Redruth in the heart of tin country. It has focused our minds on how important it is to save the past to help guide our future. We have a varied programme of events to give you a flavour of how we used our resources to survive. It has not always been tourism and pasties and cream. On behalf of the Cornish Branch I would like to welcome you all and hope you will enjoy Newquay a vibrant town with lots to offer, and who have been very helpful to ease our stay.

Brigitte Kloareg (Breizh) Brigitte Kloareg is a traditional singer from Brittany who spent twenty years in the British Isles. A fluent Welsh-speaker, she sang with various Welsh bands at the fore-front of the traditional music revival in Wales in the 80s and 90s. She moved back to Brittany in 1999 and is or has been very active on the music scene both as a performer (concerts, poetic recitals, festoù-noz, singing sessions...) and as a voice and dance teacher in music schools as well as at the University of Western Brittany where she teaches Welsh and contributes to a module on the intangible heritage of the Celtic countries. She is a versatile performer who works solo, in duos or trios with other singers (including her two daughters) and/or musicians (harp, flutes, melodeon, accordion, bandoneon, percussions, fiddle...). She sets contemporary poetry to her own music and gives poetic recitals. She performs in Breton, French, Welsh and English in Europe, the USA and Canada. One of her recent venture has been to adapt tales from the Kalevala (Finnish epic) into French, Breton and English.

  • Celticism, Internationalism and Scottish Identity Three Key Images in Focus
    Celticism, Internationalism and Scottish Identity Three Key Images in Focus Frances Fowle The Scottish Celtic Revival emerged from long-standing debates around language and the concept of a Celtic race, a notion fostered above all by the poet and critic Matthew Arnold.1 It took the form of a pan-Celtic, rather than a purely Scottish revival, whereby Scotland participated in a shared national mythology that spilled into and overlapped with Irish, Welsh, Manx, Breton and Cornish legend. Some historians portrayed the Celts – the original Scottish settlers – as pagan and feckless; others regarded them as creative and honorable, an antidote to the Industrial Revolution. ‘In a prosaic and utilitarian age,’ wrote one commentator, ‘the idealism of the Celt is an ennobling and uplifting influence both on literature and life.’2 The revival was championed in Edinburgh by the biologist, sociologist and utopian visionary Patrick Geddes (1854–1932), who, in 1895, produced the first edition of his avant-garde journal The Evergreen: a Northern Seasonal, edited by William Sharp (1855–1905) and published in four ‘seasonal’ volumes, in 1895– 86.3 The journal included translations of Breton and Irish legends and the poetry and writings of Fiona Macleod, Sharp’s Celtic alter ego. The cover was designed by Charles Hodge Mackie (1862– 1920) and it was emblazoned with a Celtic Tree of Life. Among 1 On Arnold see, for example, Murray Pittock, Celtic Identity and the Brit­ the many contributors were Sharp himself and the artist John ish Image (Manchester: Manches- ter University Press, 1999), 64–69 Duncan (1866–1945), who produced some of the key images of 2 Anon, ‘Pan-Celtic Congress’, The the Scottish Celtic Revival.

Regional Development, Distinctiveness, and the Growth of Nationalism in Cornish Politics. Abstract Stateless nations across the EU have become increasingly vocal and confident in asserting a desire for autonomy, devolved governance, and independence. Meanwhile, identity politics has become a key factor of contemporary European regional development, with utility as a social, economic and governance tool. Culture has become a resource for regional branding to attract inward investment and differentiate in terms of competitiveness. The paper considers whether the utility of identity to regional development might provide an explanation for the growing confidence of EU stateless nations. We use the case study of Cornwall to explore the correlation, arguing that economic regionalism has provided a space for the articulation of national identities.

  • Dorian Llywelyn Celticity the Second of Three Essays
    Dorian Llywelyn Celticity the second of three essays Three Landscapes project Stanford 2000 – Llywelyn - Three Landscapes Project - Two of Three 2 1.1 On Monday morning of the first week of August, 1984, in a stone circle in a park surrounded by houses, in the small Welsh coastal town of Fishguard, I was inducted as an Ovate of the Rank of Musicians, into the Order of Bards of the Island of Britain, and received a new title, by which I would henceforth be know in my dealings with that body - Telynor Tawe, the Harpist of the River Tawe, the river at whose mouth stands the city of Swansea, my home town. Wearing the green robes of my rank, I was detained at the entry point of the circle by the Herald Bard, a large sheathed ceremonial sword blocking my way until the point when my name was called. I climbed the steps up to the central stone, where the Archdruid Elerydd, a Presbyterian minister, dressed in gold satin and wearing a golden torque around his neck, wittily welcomed me, and announced my new title to the crowd. The Mistress of the Robes then placed my new headress, a sort of veil, on my head, and I went to stand with the rest of my ranks. The druidical ceremonies of the Gorsedd, the Order of the Bards of the Island of Britain, date back to the late 18th century, and are best understood in that context of social and political fervor. At an early point in the 19th century, the Gorsedd became attached to the national Eisteddfod of Wales: this cultural gathering is in itself reformatting of a medieval Welsh gathering of court poets and musicians, a recreation or restoration inspired by a group of literary Anglican parsons.

  • Celtic Cornwall … Exploring Identity
    Celtic Cornwall (Exploring Identity) By Chris Dunkerley - Cornish Bard (Kevrenor), CyC Associate of the Institute of Cornish Studies, Cornish rep. to Celtic Council Of Australia (in NSW) Hon. Secretary of the Cornish Association of NSW INTRODUCTION CELTIC? CORNWALL? SOME ELEMENTS OF IDENTITY - Popular Consciousness - Constitution - History & Landscape - Mining - Language - Music, Song and Dance - Food - Some Customs - Gorseth KERNOW BYS VYKKEN ______________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Celtic Cornwall? Is this a title than can be given to my little ancestral land by the sea in north west Europe? There have been competing views about what constitutes Celtic Cornwall. As Amy Hale stated in an article; “During the course of the (Cornish) Revival too much time and energy has been spent justifying Cornwall’s Celticity!”…. One asks, why was there any doubt?” To which I am tempted to reply – ‘who cares? .. we know we are the Celtic Cornish so let’s get on with life!’ But given that you have probably come expecting a workshop on the very subject I had better restrain myself. In essence today I will seek to explore with you the dual nature of being Cornish - that of the context in which one exists, and a continuing Celtic identity which largely comes from within. Along the way I will heavily draw heavily on others who are more learned than me, look at some elements such as language, and we may also have some fun. It is worth looking first in depth at the two words that make up the title of this workshop. Celtic? Whenever and wherever the term Celtic is used, it seems to mean something different! There is part of me that says, ‘well that’s very Celtic’! I am sure we all hold a different picture in our minds.

  • International Celtic Congress 2021 – ONLINE
    Nowodhow An Guntelles Keltek Kernow Hwevrer / February 2021 This is Celtic Congress Cornwall’s first newsletter aimed at Celtic groups, letting people know who we are, what we do and how we interact with the wider Celtic community. We aim for this to be bi-monthly and hope that other Celtic Congress branches will share their news along with others with interests in Celtic culture and heritage. We welcome enquiries about membership of our Celtic group. You can see from our aims and objectives at the bottom of page two and our activities in promoting and sharing aspects of Cornwall’s wider heritage and encouraging greater interests and interaction within the Celtic community of nations. With light at the end of a dark COVID tunnel, we can look with some confidence at resuming more normal conditions during 2021. The increase in online connectivity over the past 12 months has helped integrate people from across the globe in Cornish and Celtic pursuits, which before they may not have been aware of. We hope that these online activities continue alongside our normal ones encouraging greater worldwide participation. Celtic Congress Cornwall is now well underway in preparing plans, programmes and supporting events that include Cornish and Celtic wide themes for 2021. We look forward to engaging with young people and sharing news and knowledge relating to Cornwall and the history and culture of all the Celtic nations. Email our Publicity Officer with information you may have to share. (email address at the bottom of page two) We’ve aimed to get this newsletter out before three of our Celtic nations celebrate their national saint’s days in March.

  • Cultural Identity Represented: Celticness in Ireland
    Ethnologie Cultural identity represented: Celticness in Ireland Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophischen Fakultät der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität zu Münster (Westf.) vorgelegt von Sabine Hezel aus Oberhausen 2006 Tag des Abschlusses: 16.11.2006 Dekan: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. Wichard Woyke Referent: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Josephus D.M. Platenkamp Korreferent: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Andreas Hartmann Acknowledgements I would like to express my thanks to all the people in Ireland who gave me valuable assistance in the researching of this thesis. First of all I want to thank Ann Tighe and Claire Sheridan. Without their friendship and help in distributing questionnaires and introducing me to a number of people, my stay in Galway would have been a lot less informative (and less pleasant). Thanks also to all the people who filled out questionnaires and were willing to give interviews. I am especially grateful for the opportunity to work in my own office, which was provided by the Department of Political Science and Sociology of the National University Ireland, Galway, and the help that was provided by Dr. Niall O Dochartaigh. Special thanks also to my PhD tutor Prof. Dr. J. Platenkamp. His continually constructive and helpful critique substantially contributed to the completion of this thesis. But above all my thanks go to Dave Hegarty. His love, patience and understanding were an inexhaustible source for strength and support. Ohne die Hilfe meiner Eltern, Anne und Johann Hezel, wäre es mir nicht möglich gewesen, ein Jahr in Irland zu verbringen. Ihnen gilt daher mein ganz besonderer Dank. Ohne ihr stets wohlwollendes Verständnis und ihre Unterstützung wäre diese Arbeit nicht zustande gekommen.
