Frankie, who was born in 1956 in County Galway, comes from a musical family: his father played fiddle, and his mother and all of her family played also. Frankie himself started playing the tin whistle at age four. At the age of ten years old Frankie began to play fiddle and by the time he was seventeen he was placed first in the All Ireland Fiddle Competition and in the All Ireland Flute Competition.
He was strongly influenced by the 78 recordings of Michael Coleman and James Morrison. Sessions in the Cellar Bar, Galway and later in Hughes' pub in Spiddal led to the formation of De Dannan in 1973.
He has recorded 16 albums with De Dannan as well as a number of solo albums, and three collaborations with Paul Brock, Alec Finn and Stephane Grapelli.
