Frankie Gavin is one, if not the best, of Ireland's premier traditional players. He has performed for four American Presidents, is a founding member of legendary Irish traditional band De Danann and New De Danann; performs and records with other luminaries in the Irish trad music scene and more, such as Yehudi Menuhin, James Galway, Elvis Costello, Stephane Grappelli, and the Rolling Stones. He is generally regarded as the finest traditional Irish fiddle player of his generation. A superbly uncompromising player, he is edgy and brilliant on both fiddle and flute.
