At the Mudcat Eurogathering in Kiel last year we had a great time at the Ceilidh (pictures are here ).

But I was in Germany a couple of weeks ago (Hamburg and Hannover) and from speaking to people there got the impression that (whatever about the dancing) interest in folk music (and I don't mean the Bavarian-style Volksmusik) is not nearly as strong now as it was in the seventies. But of course that was only two cities--what's it like in the rest of the country?
