Hi, I'm a fiddler from Hagen, Germany. I also play acoustic guitar and electric bass, none of them particularly well. I've been into folk music since I was a teenager and took up Irish Music as a student. Secretly I love English trad because I spent a couple of years in Yorkshire and its folk clubs. As I'm not much good at playing and I can't sing AT ALL I started reading about and researching traditional music.
My homepage deals with various aspects of oral tradition: folk songs, music, dances, customs and should give you plenty to read. It is in English and German: http://www.folk-seiten.de
I also work voluntarily for http://www.celtic-rock.de (in German) doing mainly reviews of books or CDs and "The Story behind the Song".
You can find me on Facebook in my musical guise http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002477433105&v=info.
