As one of Ireland 's
best-known performers and traditional musicians of international renown, Frankie Lane is the
original front man of the legendary Fleadh Cowboys. During their sparkling
career in the 1980s, Frankie's live performances were famed for being
fun-filled as well as tremendous - he regularly scaled high balconies in his
quest to drive the audience wild, and usually managed! In fact, the
"Fleadhs" gathered a huge fan base at the Olympia Theatre (pioneering
"Midnight At The Olympia")and went on to support legendary performers
such as Bob Dylan, U2, The Pogues, Emmylou Harris and B.B.King.
His regular musical companion, mandolin and fiddle player,
Paul Kelly, toured extensively with Frankie throughout Europe
in the mid 1990s following their highly acclaimed and diverse album Wahoo! Live
at Hughes's.
In January 2004 Frankie was nominated for a prestigious
Meteor Music Award in the Country/Roots category.
In 1993 he was nominated for the I.R.M.A. music awards for
his much acclaimed album of the time "Dobro" released on the Gael
Linn label
For the last number of years, as well as producing and
directing some of Irelands
leading artists, Frankie has toured extensively with ex- De Danann singer
Eleanor Shanley in Ireland ,
Holland and Denmark to immense critical
acclaim.
