Thread Name: folk scene in Vienna, Austria
Subject: RE: folk scene in Vienna, Austria
There are several irish music bands over the border in Hungary and Veszprem is having a festival at the end of the month with Hungarians playing Irish music. Another band Pucks and fairies are based in Pecs but tour quite a bit. Comhaltas Ceoltoiri eireann used to have a branch in Budapest and one of their number used to travel weekly to Wien to teach set Dancing. Will try to find out if he's still doing it and come back to you..
