Gavin Friday: ‘Op mijn 66ste ben ik nog even passioneel, anders heeft het geen zin’
Op weinig plaatsen werd de muziek van Virgin Prunes, de dwarse, experimentele postpunkgroep van Gavin Friday (66), zo warm onthaald als in België. De groep deed in de vroege jaren 80 ter ziele gegane festivals als Futurama in Deinze en Seaside in De Panne aan en speelde zijn voorlaatste concert in 1986 op de tweede editie van Pukkelpop. Daarna ging Friday solo. Eind deze maand staat hij drie keer in ons land.

What struck us when recording with Gavin was his enthusiasm for the Desert Island Dress project, and the care he put into choosing his four items to bring to the island. From challenging ‘fashion norms’ on the streets of 1970s Dublin, to celebrating the craft of a well-tailored three-piece suit by the late 1980s, Gavin never shies away from contradictions. Instead of shedding one identity for another, he layers and curates them — creating a fusion of all he has been, and all he is becoming. As his most recent album title suggests, we are invited to Ecce Homo - “Behold the Man.”
We hope you enjoy this colourful journey through time, subcultures, and shifting institutions — with the absolute gent that is Gavin Friday.
