Hi, I'm a fiddle player from Hagen, Germany. I also play acoustic guitar and electric bass. I've been into folk music since I was a teenager and took up Irish Music about 30 years ago as a university student in Siegen. Around 1980 I spent two very happy years in Yorkshire, England, visiting as many folk clubs and festivals as possible. After a long break I went back to the old jigs and reels five years ago. My own page deals with various aspects of oral tradition: folk songs, music, dances, customs and thus should give you plenty to read. It is in English and German: http://www.folk-seiten.de
Here is my band: http://among-friends.thaw.de
Listen to some of the virtual mixtapes I compiled: http://www.mixwit.com/kuec
