This chapter discusses the assumption that certain groups — specifically inhabitants of ‘border’ areas — are prone to produce song fragments. It focuses on the act of perception and the material itself. The first section has a brief discussion on the concept of ‘Celtic’, its development and its effects on the study of literature and song. The chapter also presents a case-study that shows how the centre-to-margins pattern of perception evident in ‘outside’ dealings with the Celtic-speaking cultures can recur internally.
