Uli Rademacher is from Hamburg, Germany, where he was part of a thriving folk music scene in the 1960's. Though he mostly concentrated on his "day job" later on, he continued to play through the years, most notably with German songer/songwriter legend Franz Josef Degenhardt, and since his retirement he has been very busy playing in blues, folk and skiffle groups around the northern German region.
I was out looking for live music in Hamburg in 2005 and found him hosting a Scottish/Irish music night at a club. I was impressed with his acoustic guitar, harmonica, and his tin whistle playing. He has traveled and played back-up with me at many European performances. In spring 2009 he accompanied Peter Rowan and me on a twenty show tour of the Netherlands.
