Frankie Gavin, musician, composer and founder of De Dannan, celebrates 50 years in Irish Traditional Music.
To mark his 50th Anniversary Frankie Gavin has announced a special series of concerts in tribute to Dolores Keane in 2027, with more to be announced.
Frankie Gavin is internationally recognised as one of Ireland’s most distinguished traditional musicians and cultural ambassadors; the founder, heart and core of the legendary band De Dannan.
Coming from a musical family, Frankie Gavin has played fiddle and flute since he was young. Originally influenced by the great Irish and American-Irish fiddle players such as James Morrison, Frankie developed a unique musical style that combined virtuosity, innovation and deep respect for tradition. His performances and recordings have helped shape the evolution of Irish traditional music for generations. He later found himself playing with stars: 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, followed later by Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama.
Today he is recognised not only as one of Ireland’s foremost musicians, but also as an artist whose work has helped strengthen Ireland’s cultural reputation throughout the world.
