Hi,
a quite simple question.
Are there any Mudcatters in Germany? 4 years ago, when my computer broke down, there have been some of them. Being back now, I'm interested in who "survived". And newcomers are of interest, too.

Nevertheless I think we are a small community only.

We really miss Wolfgang, who made many contributions. I know there were a couple of others.

Susanne (skw) posted fairly recently, but not as often as she used to.

Stefan Wirz still posts occasionally.

Yes, Spleen Cringe, I'm German, even though I'm called Richard in a lot of e-mails by people who don't know any better ;)

It must be the interest in Peter Bellamy's music. People are thinking of Sir Reinhard's Song... ;-)

When I lived in Stuttgart, I may have influenced a few locals to join or check out Mudcat. Most are likely lurkers ... If in the Stuttgart area it is worth the S-Bahn ride to check out The Winnenden Folk club which is really enthusiastic about British Isles music (the town was in the news a few years back for another human tragedy). Downtown there is a music session at O'Reilly's Pub every Monday (may have changed). There is also a German Shanty Chor in a local suburb -- went to their practice session one night in 2005 -- lots of accordions and precions and painting of sinking RN ships ...

Cheers/Auf widerhoeren

The most active Mudcatter residing in Germany is of course alanabit. But he's English - does that count?

Myself am German but live in California; will be visiting in September. Guten Tag!

michaelr, you lucky one.Living in California...
Naturally, people from outside living in Germany are welcome to join this thread.
But my first intention was to look for German mudcatters,

As Joe said, I don't log on very often these days as other interests take up more of my time, but I'm still a Mudcatter and always glad to meet others. Also, I still like to remember the last European Mudgathering here in Kiel in 2007. Should anybody feel like venturing north, Whitsun 2014 might be a good idea, when the Scheersberg Folk Festival celebrates its first 40 years. In September I'm hoping to attend Linlithgow Festival in Scotland.

I completely missed this thread 6 years ago. I am still here - after some years of very little Mudcatting I now check threads more regularly again ...

It's funny to become aware of a new activation of my old threat. Best wishes to all german and british and other mudcatters living in Germany!Manfred, living in Lower Bavaria
