Freddie White (born September 1951 in Cobh, Ireland) is an Irish singer-songwriter.
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.
[2] During 1978 White toured as the opening act for the Irish band Clannad with their producer/sound manager Nicky Ryan recording those gigs, and providing selections to compile into White's first album Recorded Live on Tour 1978.
On 15 March 1979 he opened the concert for Eric Clapton and his band (including Albert Lee), in the Downtown Club in Dundalk.
He performs interpretations of work of some of his favorite performers, such as Randy Newman (nine covers recorded), John Hiatt (nine covers recorded), Tom Waits and Guy Clark[3] as well as some jazz standards and his own compositions.
