Irish fiddle master Frankie Gavin / Pt. 1

[@seanbrady7229]

Still the boss of fiddle playing. Been listening and playing since 86 and I never tire of listening to Frankie Gavin.

[@jimmysqueezyronin5623]

Yup, lovely to hear Frankie's fiddle on its own.

[@charlottewalton128]

That's the way I like to hear him.. lovely..

[@gabrielkeown38]

Absolute genius James Morrison would be proud to hear the inimatable Frankie Gavin Brilliant

[@bogbrushify]

Lovely to hear Frankie playing unaccompanied! Oh for a recording like that (please Frankie!). Can anyone list the tunes? Many thanks for putting this up. What a treat!

[@seattlevenuepartners]

Thanks Ashley. We sorted through all the cuts from that performance and are posting another you'll enjoy. See Irish fiddle master Frankie Gavin, Part 3

[@bogbrushify]

Thanks! The slow air on part 3 is marvellous. I'm trying to work out if he changed the tuning on his fiddle for that - do you have any idea?

Wonderful Music Frankie. Life and Feeling

[@franksabatino7576]

First heard him with DeDanann in the 1970s. At that time the band had 2 bouzouki players and a unique music box sound.

Superb

[@justincurll1110]

John Doherty = Buddy Rich, Michael Coleman = Chick Webb, Sean Ryan = Neil Peart, Frankie Gavin = John Bonham, Sean Keane = Danny Carey.

[@bomaite1]

Is he playing with a non-standard tuning?

[@Umiale]

He often tunes his fiddle half a note sharp. Sounds like his fiddle's a little flat of that in this recording.

[@shobarsch]

@@Umiale Yes, in fact he's almost half a tone sharp in this recording

[@bomaite1]

Can somebody list the names of the tunes please?

[@kevinburnsmusic3896]

Only Frankie knows.... and he's not telling :)
