Fiddle maestro, Frankie Gavin will feature as Martha Wainwright’s special guest. Gavin is one of the genuine legends of Irish music. From his first TV appearance playing the tin-whistle when he was seven, through All-Ireland Championship victories on both fiddle and flute, sixteen albums with the seminal Dé Dannan, seven solo albums, his adventures in the realms of Jazz, Gospel, and Klezmer, to appearances with such luminaries as Earl Scruggs, Stephane Grapelli, Sir Yehudi Menuhin, and The Rolling Stones.

Part of Frankie Gavin’s enduring appeal lies in his astounding technical ability and unceasing quest for innovation – musical pieces more commonly associated with the Beatles and George Frederic Handel are now in Frankie’s repertoire. Most pertinent of all is the knack he has for imparting to his audience his own enthusiasm, the sheer joy, the magic of great music-making.

‘Electrifying’ is an adjective that’s too often used to describe certain performances but this is one instance where it’s absolutely unavoidable. If you’ve never been lucky enough to see Frankie Gavin perform live, prepare to be… shocked.

Frankie will be joined in by Eric Cunningham (Percussion, Flutes & Whistles) & Mike Galvin (Guitar)

The Radisson Saturday, 24th October at 8.30pm sharp
