County Galway. He is a founder member of 1970s Irish traditional group
De Dannan. By the age of 15 he had won the All Ireland Fiddle and All Ireland tin whistle
championship[citation needed]. He is known
for playing in a very fast and virtuosic Galway style. Gavin has recorded and played
with many of the best traditional musicians of his generation. His
boundless energy has also driven him to record many side-projects, including work with Elvis Costello, The Rolling
Stones, Keith Richards, Yehudi Menuhin, Stéphane Grappelli and Earl Scruggs. He is working
on an orchestral work "The Choctaw Symphony" using Irish and Choctaw
themes. Together with accordionist Paul Brock, Frankie recorded "Omos Do Joe Cooley" a tribute to the renowned Irish-American accordion player. In recent years, Frankie has released
records with the likes of Joe Derrane, Michael McGoldrick and Sharon
Shannon. |
