Gavin Friday has been a formidable presence on the arts scene ever since the Virgin Prunes first began shaking things up back in 1977, with Gavin pursuing his many and varied creative impulses ever since. After several albums with the Prunes, he began to release records under his own name – along the way moving deep into theatre and film – working closely with the director Jim Sheridan – and, as an actor – with Neil Jordan.
Among his many collaborations has been work with Gavin Bryars, Pat McCabe and The Royal Shakespeare Company. Now, finishing up a new album, while at the same time revisiting some older projects, the artist formerly known as Fionnán Hanvey is a very busy man.
