'A musical force of nature' Frankie Gavin was born in County Galway, from a musical family. As a child he played the tin whistle from the age of four and, later, the flute. At the age of six, Frankie played for President Kennedy when he visited Ireland in 1963 - the same year JFK was assassinated 63 years ago on November 22.
His musical ability on the fiddle is mainly self-taught. At 17 years old, he gained first place in both the All Ireland Under-18 Fiddle and Flute competitions. In 1974, he founded the group De Dannan with Alec Finn. Frankie has played and recorded with Andy Irvine, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Stéphane Grappelli, and many others. In 2010 he became the fastest fiddle-player in the world, with an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. He continues to be a leading influence in the traditional music scene worldwide.
