I have always loved "Celtic" music, yes there are Celts in France, and even in Spain! (Asturias) (see the map in PJ)
...and I always thought that the Finguer style Celtic m usique guitar should be played exclusively with a steel string guitar (for sustain)...until I heard the great guitarist Ana Vidovic playing a composition by Pierre Bensusan with a nylon stringed "classical" guitar (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2a_yfT84KQ ) !

...then I wanted to try to record a version of an Irish tune by Turlough O'Carolan "Si Bheag, Si Mhor" with my Takamine Hirade nylon classical guitar.
(I made a version two years ago with my Lap steel acoustic guitar Weissenborn )
I dedicate this tune especially to Kenny Mac who made me want to do a Celtic track with his Celtic groove. ;)

Thank you all guys

Alfredo, I'm learning a "folk picking" version of "Jeux interdits" (forbidden games),  that of course I'll dedicate to you. ;)

Gorgeous piece of music, and a beautiful performance! Sounds great on nylon strings. Well done.
