Renowned Freddie White plays in Ballina
Freddie White is performing in Ballina later this month.
Spanning over five decades now, the career of Cobh-born singer and masterful guitar player Freddie White has seen him tour with the likes of Eric Clapton and Clannad, and become one of the most recognisable voices in music during a lengthy period from the 1970s through to the 1990s.
His bass baritone voice has captivated audiences right around the world, including in Australia, where he lived for a number of years.
Freddie’s career began in 1974 as 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 1970s, followed by The Freddie White Band.
