Does anybody know what is happening to De Dannan, now that there is no Frankie Gavin? Is De Dannan dead or alive? Are they going to start playing tunes in G minor, or are they going to add synthesizers and a drum machine? They have been around for 30 years, and have been so influential. I hope they stay just as great as they've always been. I've been told that Alec Finn owns De Dannan. What's the craic?
From what I heard, Frankie and Alec haven had some kind of disagreement, and Frankie started his own band, Hibernian Rhapsody. I don't know if that means no more Frankie in De Dannan, or if that's just a rumor that isn't true.
Well, I hope so. It's been 15 years since I saw De Dannan, and Alec Finn couldn't be there that night. I'd really like to see them play the Chicken reel!!!!
De Dannan finished years ago! all gone their seperate ways. would love to see Gavin and martin o connor team up with say brian mcgrath and alec finn or something for gigs!!

I think Mr Gavin has lots of irons in the fire, just like John Carty
and others
