José F. Sánchez
A child of the 60's,born and raised in NYC. Found a fiddle in my neighbor's garage, borowed it and started playing fiddle tunes. Frequented the Irish Arts Center in Manhattan and learned from great fiddlers like Brian Conway. ( What luck!) Started dancing Irish céili and set dances and even got to play in the IAC Céilí Band for awhile. Moved to Wuerzburg, Germany where I missed the sessions and dancing and started organizing them myself. I've hosted several workshops, céilís, concerts and festivals and even a few parades with marching fiddles throughout the years. I founded the FolkClub Würzburg e.V. in 1982 to promote folk music and dance in the area. Still going strong with regular sessions , dance workshops, concerts and the like. www.wuefolk.de
I personally orgainze a Celtic Halloween Ceili every year with a different band. I also have several musicians to pool from to play at weddings, birthdays, city festivals etc. I also have a group of dancers to perform Irish Set dances and give dance lessons every Wednesday. Sessions are on Tuesday . All welcome!
