Frankie Gavin – Irish Fiddler @ Leopold Crystal Ballroom
Tickets
Feb 22 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Frankie Gavin - Irish Fiddler @ Leopold Crystal Ballroom | Bellingham | Washington | United States

 

Frankie has been playing fiddle and flute since his teenage years. At the age of 17, he won two all-Ireland competitions-for fiddle and flute. The name Frankie Gavin is also synonymous with DeDannan the globally renowned band he founded in the mid-1970s. After a short break in the 2000’s, Frankie restarted the band with a new young line up. The current incarnation maintains the stellar quality of those iconic early DeDannans. Gavin played for four American presidents. As a seven-year old, he played with John F. Kennedy on his 1962 visit to Ireland. He also played for President Clinton and Bush and more recently for Barack and Michelle Obama, when the president visited his ancestral home in the village of Moneygall in County Offaly.

The plain fact is that there is no more exciting fiddle player or moving flute player in the world of Irish music today. The Guinness Book of Records, that bible of bizarre human conditions and activities, lists Frankie as the world’s fastest fiddle player. On September 2010, he played a traditional Irish tune, the Foxhunter’s reel, at a breath-taking 150 beats per minute!
