GAVINFRIDAY them as complementary forms of expression? I’ve always seen a visual connection with the music I make i see / hear song visually as well as musically. Sometimes the balance swings more towards one than the other but ultimately for me they are deeply connected. Ireland has such a rich cultural and musical heritage. How has growing up in Dublin shaped your artistic identity? I am 65 years old now, the Ireland I grew up in was a very different country almost a different planet. It was very very tough being a young Gavin Friday dressing and thinking / acting like i did. The Rage was huge against the so called World I grew up in, the Music gave me a Shield and as weapon to fight. I seriously needed the Virgin Prunes to survive and vice versa. Over the decades, your work has been described as www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be avant-garde, emotional, and daring. How do you hope your art and music are remembered? Thats not for me to say… I adore making Music and performing. It’s my lifeline and expression, strangely i have been hearing the last few years how Virgin Prunes were so out of sync with the times and only now they are being understood. So be it! I don’t look for approval, I just shoot my shot! Are there any upcoming projects—whether music, art, or film—that you’re particularly excited about and can share with us? Excited to be touring soon! I so missed live performances! Also more recording sessions soon but at the moment so so excited for being on Stage soon! www.gavinfriday.com All photo’s by © Barry Mc Call Fred GADGET
