He believes he isn't good enough to join in a SingalongaNick. He's probably right.

Why "but"? Does this make it not-real in some way?

Irish myths, at least, the last I heard. And they lime their hair. It's the idea that "we" suddenly don't have any "Celtic" names that surprises me.

Not quite, no. It can be a state of mind, though.

They do still exist, do they? Even in new re-modelled Heortland?

I don't think we've ever specified the CAs in WW. And I'm sure there are some. I mean, if you're a healer, somewhere quite so full of people needing healers has got to be a draw in some way?

What sort of music does your Kathy like?
In fact, what hobbies and interests does she have?

Or many of the above. Specialisation is a modern disease. How about a healer and trader in medicines, who happens to sing/play an instrument/tell stories as a hobby, and is welcome everywhere for all three things?
