Frankie McCormick on banjo and
mandolin, from Tyrone, Ireland, came to the USA in 1986. He has 2
All-Ireland solo championship titles on banjo and mandolin as well as the
coveted All-Ireland Scor Award. Frankie brings a fresh northern punch to
the phrasing of the tunes and his quick wit keeps the audience howling
when he appears with his New York band Celtic Cross.. When playing
traditional tunes with Kenny & John Vesey (also with Celtic
Cross), Frankie's playing is pure magic… so much so that they placed third
together in the 2005 Senior Trio Championship in the All Ireland Fleadh
Cheoil in Letterkenny this summer. Frankie makes his home in West Nyack,
NY.
