In October 1982 Manfred along with Bernd Zwiesler and Christian Kunkel,
all young musicians from Waldaschaff, Bavaria, Germany travelled to
Clonakilty to meet with Brawny Wycherley, conductor of the local
St. Patrick's Brass Band. And thus began the strong friendship that has
endured and flourished between Waldaschaff and Clonakilty.
