Freddie White - the maestro of quality music

Freddie White has long been synonymous with music of the highest quality. Whether interpreting songs by his favourite writers, such as Randy Newman, Tom Waits, John Hiatt and Guy Clark, or performing his own classy compositions, Freddie’s live performances are nothing short of legendary.

Freddie has been part of the fabric of the live music scene in Ireland since the 1970’s and his albums continue to sell well, amongst his loyal and new-found fan base.

Born in Cobh, County Cork into a musical family, by age thirteen Freddie was playing in school bands and by seventeen playing professionally. At nineteen, he moved to London, where he busked in subways, and developed his unique voice and guitar style.

Freddie's been playing live over the years but never (mostly) got around to recording a gig.

So, engineer, Brian Masterson, and he, did the next best thing. They set up a live gig in the Mill theatre in Dundrum, S. Dublin, but without an audience.

This accomplished two things - a next to a perfect setting in one of Freddie's favourite venues and a little more control - meaning he could choose from a few takes of each song.

The result is Freddie's 14th album, One Heart Beating - a collection of 12 songs, released in 2018

After 7 years living in Sydney and New York, Trish and Freddie have returned home to live in Ireland.
