In Ireland, Freddie White is a legend. Born in Cobh, Co. Cork, into a musical family, by age thirteen he was playing in school bands and by seventeen playing professionally. At nineteen, he moved to London. Busking in subways, he developed his unique voice and guitar style.
In 1974 he was a founder member of Scullion, together with Philip King and Sonny Condell. Later he formed the Fake, regarded as one of the seminal Irish bands of the late ‘70’s. Next came the Freddie White Band in 1978, which toured with Eric Clapton that year.
Most recently Freddie released an all-new studio album Four Days in May with some of Ireland’s finest musicians, showcasing his songwriting prowess and unerring choice of eclectic interpretations. |
