Well first of all you have to figure out what a celt is while many cultures claim to be Celtic few that we think of actually are.

As near as anyone can figure as to what a celt is are the galician, halstat and letene most of these cultures existed for years.

Reserching into Spanish, German, French and many Mainland Europes history will give you the origins of the Celtic culture believe it or not the Irish culture is not a Celtic culture but you have to admit it's a good tourist money making ticket.

The Eurocentric view of the tribes variously and often wrongly described as 'Celts' has

in the past decade changed.There is growing evidence linguistically and culturally,and in the field of music especially that the origins of the tribes of semi nomadic Celt can be traced to their Amazigh roots in North Africa (what the Greeks called the Berbers, who are not negroid,but mediterranean skinned) .Due to pressure from tribes to the east ,they left their tribal lands after the end of the last ice age, travelling into Spain, and parts of the tribe settled in the Basque area.They were quick to adopt the cultures of all those around them and took credit for skills developed by others as they moved through Europe into the Baltic lands where they interbred with other peoples and became disseminated although the remnants of the earlier migration are believed to have travelled to Gallicia and eventually arrived in Southern Ireland where their dark swarthy features and red hair resemble those of the Amazigh.This then is where Celtic culture began.

Third Answer:The second answer is a personal theory. The DNA evidence doe not link Berbers to Celts although it does link them to the Basques and Galicians.
