 DM: Dublin's Gavin Friday is not U2's musical shadow
Friday and Derek Rowan, better known as Guggi, formed the backbone of a frighteningly-good Irish performance-art band, known more for early punk showmanship than tuneful introspection.
Gavin, called Handbag Hanvey in his younger days, paraded around Dublin City in a dress and pulled pigs' heads from under his skirt on-stage.
Gavin Friday will never be a superstar, and that seems to suit him just fine.

 Gavin Friday : Each Man Kills the Thing He Loves - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The fact that Friday covers two songs here that Cave and Almond would each separately do later (Bob Dylan's "Death Is Not the End" and Jacques Brel's "Next") further shows the similar inspirations shared.
In keeping with the overall transformation, Friday eschews the over the top wails and shrieks of his younger days -- his register is still high, but the delivery is much more controlled, showing a greater range while losing none of his desperate passion.
Seezer contributes fine lead keyboard work throughout, but Friday's other key partner is producer Hal Willner, who had clearly demonstrated his own credentials for this kind of music with his Kurt Weill tribute album a few years previously.

 the Virgin Prunes, Gavin Friday - classic or dud   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
SHAG TOBACCO (the third and last, not counting Friday & Seezer's score to "The Boxer") is a deft meshing of his histrionic cabaret stylings mixed with elements of glam stomp and svelte pop.
I also agree that Gavin is quite a character live, and I was amazed when I saw him (Shag Tobacco tour) at how he completely captivated the audience, and for that two hours, he was the coolest guy on earth.
It's the last official VP release, originally just with Gavin's vocals, (the re-issue restores Guggi's as well), and is somewhat overlooked, though it's definitely a bridge between the Prunes and Gavin's solo material.

Gavin: uh so she connected with this emotionally and you know it came up that maybe she should work with us and basicly we locked her in the toilet for 2 hours,

 Gavin Friday MP3 Downloads - Gavin Friday Music Downloads - Gavin Friday Music Videos
The score to Jim Sheridan's The Boxer was written by Gavin Friday and Maurice Seezer, and the two have created a moving, ambitious score that captures the drama of the story.
Friday's third solo effort, as always with Seezer as his main collaborator, provided another development in his musical approach with the choice of Bomb the Bass mainman Tim Simenon as producer.
Making his solo debut with a nod to an earlier Irish aesthete, Friday's album isn't merely titled after a legendary line from Oscar Wilde's Ballad of Reading Gaol, but kicks off with the title track, where all lyrics in fact come from said poem.

He is quite a cult figure in Ireland as an 'art-rock terrorist' and member of the Virgin Prunes and his show is really a monologue description of people who have influenced him in life and artistically.
Its a funny, sad rant that ends up as a powerful complaint that kids today do not have the same kind of risk taking artistic figures to look up to as existed in the 1970s.
