Join the Philadelphia Ceili Group for an evening of Irish traditional music with Frankie Gavin, one of Ireland&rsquo;s most respected fiddle players 🎻. Settle into our warm, pub-like setting as he brings classic tunes and fresh arrangements to life. Frankie Gavin has played Fiddle and flute since his teenage years. At the age of 17, he won all Ireland competitions for Fiddle and flute originally influenced by the great Irish and American-Irish fiddle players, James Morrison, and Michael Coleman, he later found himself playing with the stars, including among others the Rolling Stones, Earl shrugs, Les Paul, St&eacute;phane Grappelli, James Galway and Yehudi Menuhin as well as with many of the great contemporary players and singers of traditional Irish Music. I have left their mark on his eclectic approach to music. In 2010, he officially became the world&lsquo;s fastest fiddle player when he played The Foxhunter&rsquo;s Reel&nbsp;at breathtaking 150 bpm!&nbsp;Gavin has played for four American presidents, starting at the age of six when he played for John F. Kennedy on his 1962 visit to Ireland, then later for President Clinton, Bush and Obama. He has also played for France&rsquo;s president Mitterrand, Britain&rsquo;s Prince Charles (now King Charles III), Prince Albert of Monaco and, in front of the pope on his last visit to Ireland.&nbsp;Name a Frankie Gavin is also synonymous with De Dannan, the globally renowned traditional Irish band he founded in the mid 1970s. Despite a few breaks and changes of personnel over the years, the band continues to play, still performing &nbsp;and exciting audiences in Ireland and around the world.&nbsp;Another of Gavin&rsquo;s recent project is The Princess Grace Symphonic Suite, composed by Frankie and arranged by Carl Hession, was performed in Monaco with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra in September 2022 in front of Princess Grace&lsquo;s son, Prince Albert. It is expected that the suite will be performed in Ireland, the USA and elsewhere in the future.
