The United Irish Cultural Center is hosting Cork born singer-songwriter Freddie White for one night only on Friday, August 16, 2024.
Freddie is a masterful guitar player, singer-songwriter and interpreter of songs who has captivated audiences in Ireland and beyond with his emotive performances. With a career spanning five decades, Freddie continues to be a luminary in the music industry, leaving an indelible mark on those who have the pleasure of experiencing his live shows.
Born in Cobh, County Cork, Ireland into a musical family, by the age of thirteen 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.
“’Stormy Lullaby’ maintains a lifelong undertaking by this remarkable singer…to get to the essence of a worthy song…a genuinely transcendent and inspiring sound.’
—Gerry Quinn. Examiner, January 2008
‘This is a superb return to form…those trademark sharp-toothed guitar licks… smoky, languid voice… there’s still nobody to match White at his best.’
—Siobhain Long. Irish Times, January 2008
