ABOUT CELTIC WORLD
ACTIVE READERS
Celtic World is the only publication dealing entirely with Celtic Performing
Arts (music and dance) and Folk Music. Our readers are the �do-ers�, not the
�talkers�. That means they are the ones who actively spend in pursuit of
their Celtic interests.
The magazine, which had its roots in a bagpipe monthly in 1986 and adopted
its current format in 1999, has specific market segments such as;
* Highland Games
* Celtic sports
* general Celtic music
* pipe bands
* Highland dancing
* Scottish country dancing
* Militaria
* Scottish traditional music
* Scottish clan and cultural activities
* general Celtic activities
* Irish Dance
* folk music
In addition to our specialised segments we also cover items of general
interest relative to Scotland/Ireland and in particular do regular features
on Scottish travel spots.
This latter coverage has been seen in the past as the bridge which has
helped to expand our readership.
Currently there is no professional press service of any of our segments and
with a surveyed UK participant base of 80,000+ this provides a solid base
for our expected UK readership. But it is the �non-participant� market which
will provide Celtic World with a bigger potential readership. Crowds of
25,000 plus regularly attend events such as Cowal Highland Games, Royal
Braemar and the World Pipe Band Championships and the 100,000+ which attend
the Edinburgh Tattoo added to a significant �Scottish interest� public.
Our readership target has already been achieved proportionally in Australia
although readership is much smaller because of the narrowness of that market
and geographical peculiarities.
Celtic World is in the form of a tabloid style newspaper/magazine (stitched
and tirmmed on quality newsprint like te Sunday magazine supplements of
major national papers).
Plans to release a weekly edition from June 2002 onwards are also in hand.
The next monthly issue will be released at the end of March and it is
expected to be on sale in newsagents throughout Scotland, Northern Ireland
and Australia as well as select music and general Scottish retailers in
Scotland and North America.
Plans are advanced to have it released in newsagents in England by the May
issue.
Monthly deadlines for contributions are te 15th of the month with a final
deadline of the 20th.
