Irish Hooley at Bloomsbury Theatre
Bloomsbury Theatre and Studio, WC1H 0AH , [Venue Details]Coming from a musical family, Frankie Gavin has played fiddle and flute since his teenage years. At the age of seventeen, he won all-Ireland competitions for fiddle and flute.
Originally influenced by the great Irish and American-Irish fiddle players such as James Morrison, he later found himself playing with stars such as The Rolling Stones, Stephane Grappelli, James Galway and Yehudi Menuhin, and for celebrity audiences, including four American presidents: J. F. K on his 1962 visit to Ireland, and later Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama.
Perhaps most importantly, the name Frankie Gavin is synonymous with De Dannan, the globally celebrated band he founded with Alec Finn in the mid-1970s. Over the years, there have been a numerous star-studded line-ups, and 2023 saw the birth of the latest incarnation of the band. This evening De Dannan will feature Frankie Gavin (fiddle and flute), Diarmuid Ó Meachair (melodeon/button accordion), Ian Kinsella (guitar), Kaitlin Cullen-Verhauz (vocals/cello) and Jack Talty (piano).
Since their formation, the new band have played at Temple Bar Trad Fest, Wickham Festival (UK), Ballyshannon Folk and Traditional Music Festival, The All-Ireland Fleadh, Mullingar, Tonder Festivak (Denmark), and Belfast Tradfest. The new line-up is as creative and inspiring as any from the band’s long history.
