The term includes bands like Beltaine's Fire, Shooglenifty , and Croft No. Five that use traditional instrumentation while incorporating modern sounds to acts like Martyn Bennet, Manau, and Skilda that use synths and other modern instruments to play traditional melodies. The most important common element is the fusion of traditional and modern, ancient and contemporary.
