Gavin Friday

Gavin Friday is perhaps best known as the founding frontman of cult Irish post-punk outfit Virgin Prunes, his career as a genre-hopping, award-winning songwriter, composer, actor, visual artist, and creative director has spanned four decades and has seen him collaborate with everyone from his childhood friends in U2 through to Colin Newman, Laurie Anderson, Sinead O’Connor, Scott Walker, The Fall, Quincy Jones, and many, many more. He has scored music for Academy Award nominated films such as In The Name of The Father and In America (earning Ivor Novello and Golden Globe nominations for his work on 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. The last year also saw the release of the animated film Peter And The Wolf, which featured scoring and narration by Friday, as well as the recent reissuing of classic Virgin Prunes albums and EPs on vinyl. His new album, Ecce Homo, will be released on 25th October via BMG on ltd. edition transparent blue vinyl as well as a deluxe CD package featuring an exclusive 28-page booklet and bonus material. The album will be available everywhere digitally including two exclusive remixes.
