Ex-líder dos Virgin Prunes trouxe álbum ‘Ecce Homo’ à República da Música, em Alvalade.

E ainda, o primeiro concerto no Reino Unido em 17 anos, em Londres. O multifacetado artista Gavin Friday lança o seu eletrizante novo single "The Church Of Love" no dia 4 de abril. O lançamento coincide com o seu primeiro espetáculo ao vivo no Reino Unido em 17 anos, com uma atuação no EartH, em Hackney, a 7 de abril, além de concertos na Europa e na Irlanda (datas abaixo), com início em Portugal (Porto a 21 de Março e Lisboa a 22 de Março).

Aposto que a promotora At The Rollercoaster nunca pensou ter num dos concertos por si organizado,  metade da banda irlandesa U2 , neste caso Bono Vox e The Edge ambos a aparecem de propósito para ver um  concerto de um dos seus artistas em Lisboa. Mas foi isso mesmo que aconteceu e claramente se alguma vez houvesse a mínima hipótese de isso ter acontecido seria com Gavin Friday a actuar na República da Música em Lisboa, apesar de o Irlandês já na noite anterior ter actuado no Hard-Club no Porto.

Tommy is, of course, that double LP rock opera what the ‘Oo done, back in 1969.Pete Townsend was a powerhouse of creativity and, since he didn’t own an opera company or a film company, we can say he made...

Gavin Friday is to make a rare UK appearance in support of his new album, 17 years after he last performed in the country.

Tommy Tiernan Show recap:

Former Virgin Prunes' singer Gavin Friday appeared on the Tommy Tiernan Show

Let me share with all fans my short interview with well known musician, songwriter and singer…about music recording, feelings, plans and current world – Gavin Friday.

Perhaps best known as the founding frontman of cult Irish post-punk outfit Virgin Prunes, Gavin’s career has spanned four decades and has seen him collaborate with everyone from his childhood friends in U2 to Cillian Murphy, Sinead O’Connor, The Fall, Quincy Jones, and more. He has scored music for Academy Award nominated films such as The Boxer and In America (earning an Ivor Novello for the latter), and his artistic contributions extend to visual arts, with several exhibitions showcasing his work, as well as collaborating and performing on-stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Recent projects have included composition and narration on Emmy nominated animated short film of the classic tale Peter & The Wolf, in aid of the Irish Hospice.

Gavin Friday has announced the release of his new single The Church Of Love for April 4, coinciding with his first Irish live shows in 13 years, with

He will play Dundalk’s Spirit Store on April 8 and Dublin’s Vicar Street on April 10.

This puppet play by Erik Sanko is a morality fable for grown-ups, evoking the familiar idioms of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton in a style you might term Victorian ghastly.

Add a Carnegie Hall concert to the improbable résumé of the Irish songwriter Gavin Friday.

Her catalog is full of raw passion and raw nerve.
