Gavin Friday, born Fionán Martin Hanvey on October 8, 1959, in Dublin, Ireland, is an eclectic artist whose career spans music, visual arts, and film. He first gained prominence in the late 1970s as the frontman of the post-punk band The Virgin Prunes, known for their avant-garde performances and experimental sound. The band, closely associated with U2, carved a niche in the underground music scene with their dark, theatrical style before disbanding in 1986. Following the breakup of The Virgin Prunes, Friday embarked on a successful solo career, moving away from the abrasive punk sound toward a more sophisticated blend of cabaret, jazz, and art-rock influences. His solo albums like Each Man Kills the Thing He Loves (1989) and Adam 'n' Eve (1992) showcase his distinctive baritone voice and penchant for lyrical storytelling.

Friday is also known for his work in theater and visual arts, often combining music, spoken word, and performance art in his projects. His multi-faceted artistry has made him a compelling and enduring figure in the worlds of alternative music and avant-garde art.
