Or, if not, if there's a group that focuses on the Irish/Celtic/Welsh (I
think they are all different and distinct groups) history, language and
costuming, I'd also love to know about them, too.

I don't know about your area, but in my area we have a local Celtic Society
that I used to be semi-involved with. We used to do Scottish country
dancing and we often were asked to either dance at Scottish caellies
(sp?)), work the local Highland games, or dance with the Irish dance groups
on St. Paddy's day, or give talks on costumes of the 16th c. Irish & Scots.
They also tried to promote Breton, Welsh, and Cornish history as well,
although those weren't as "popular". They are still around and are involved
with a new Irish pub we have in town. Perhaps you can find something
similar that may be associated with a pub in your area, or maybe listed in
your news paper events page.
And if you do, please let me know as well. My best friend and former dance
mistress lives and works in your area, and she's commented that she hasn't
found much to do up there like she did around here for re-enactment or even
dancing opportunities. She even sent me her old box of faire stuff because
she didn't know what else to do with them (that almost broke my heart for
all the fond memories we had.)
