Gavin Friday: Sheridan film brought old gang together again after 20 years
By JAMES MURETICH
What goes around comes around . . . and around and around and around in the world of Gavin Friday.
In 1978, he was the lead singer of the Irish rock band Virgin Prunes. The older brother of U2’s The Edge was in his band and U2’s Bono was one of the Prunes’ biggest fans. In 1994, the soundtrack for the Oscar-nominated In The Name Of The Father features songs written and performed by Bono, Friday and their friend Maurice Seezer.
And that in itself came about because of director Jim Sheridan.
“It’s like stepping back 20 years and then going forward again,” said Friday in a phone interview from Dublin.
