Fred Finn (musician)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fred Finn (1919, Killavil, County Sligo – January 1986) was a popular musician in South Sligo, in western Ireland, known for his wit and humour as well as his fiddle playing. His father Mick, a Fianna Fáil activist and former councillor, was also a fiddle player.
Fred played with many musicians from the locality, and for 30 years performed as a duo with Peter Horan.[1]
His 1966 album Mickie Finn's – America's No. 1 Speakeasy, which included Finn's Television Cast, achieved commercial success, reaching No. 120 in the US during a fifteen-week run on the charts.[2]
