Freddie White
Saturday March 15 @ 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM
The Richmond Revival is delighted to announce guitar virtuoso and singer-songwriter Freddie White will be performing in Fermoy this March.
Born in Cobh, Co. Cork, Freddie has been a foundational part of the fabric of the live music scene in Ireland since the 1970’s. By the age of 17 he was playing professionally. At 19, he moved to London, were he busked in subways, and developed his unique voice and guitar style.
In 1974, he was a founding 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 formed in 1978, which toured with Eric Clapton that year.
His first album, Live on Tour, recorded by Nicky Ryan while touring with Clannad, brought him national attention. His second album, Do You Do, was the biggest selling Mulligan Label album of 1981. With these early albums, Freddie introduced an eclectic repertoire of music, which spanned musical genres and eras, to an Irish audience.
“The sparse and haunting ‘Live on Tour’ is still among the greatest Irish albums of all time”
The Irish Times
Freddie moved to Sydney, Australia in March 2011 but continued to tour Ireland and the UK regularly. He then resided in New York City for a few years and has now returned home to Ireland.
On the night, Freddie will perform new songs along with his classics spanning across his 40-year career as a principal in the orchestra of Irish folk and rock music. You can check out his full story and music on his website here
