Gavin Friday was born in Dublin on October 8, 1959. He survived a Christian Brothers education to become a singer, composer and painter. Ireland's most avant-garde chanteur founded the legendary Virgin Prunes in 1977. The band's uncompromising body of work ensured a dedicated fan base in Ireland, the U.K. and mainland Europe in particular. In 1986 Gavin briefly abandoned music to paint, which culminated in the 1988 exhibition entitled 'I didn't come up the Liffey in a bubble' at Dublin's Hendriks Gallery.
