Freddie White born in September 1951, Cobh, Ireland is an Irish singer-songwriter. ==Biography== Born in Cobh, County Cork, Ireland into a musical family, by age 13 White was playing in school bands and by seventeen playing professionally. He went to London in 1970 – where he stayed for about two years – to busk and perfect his unique style of singing and guitar accompaniment. Together with Philip King and Sonny Condell in 1974 he formed a popular folk-rock/Jazz fusion group that started out as an occasional band called The Sunday Night Band. The following year, 1975, after White had left the band, it morphed into Scullion. In 1977 he formed 'The Fake' and the following year he formed The Freddie White Band. During 1978, White did a tour opening for the Irish band Clannad and their producer/sound manager Nicky Ryan recorded those gigs, selections from which became White's first album, ''Recorded Live on Tour 1978''. In 1992, White emigrated to Boston, US where he remained for twelve years – returning to Ireland in 2004. After seven years back home in Ireland, White relocated to Sydney in March 2011, where he currently resides with his wife, Trish Hickey – they married in Sydney, Australia in June 2013. White has been touring internationally since the 1980s, solo as well as with fellow musicians. He performs interpretations of work of some of his favorite performers, such as Randy Newman (nine covers recorded), John Hiatt, (nine covers recorded) Tom Waits and Guy Clark.〔 〕 as well as some jazz standards and his own compositions. White's 1999 album ''My Country'' did not include any covers. It featured lyrics of White's brother-in-law, the late poet Don O'Sullivan (born 1949, died 1986), put to music co-written by White with his then wife, Ann O'Sullivan (Don O'Sullivan's sister). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Freddie White」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
