Gavin Friday Birth Certificate: The birth certificate of Fionan Martin Hanvey for the eight of October 1959.

Gavin Friday is one of the more interesting artistic forces at work here today. Bono’s ‘Man Friday’ is no mere sycophant. A key influence on U2, his own music reveals a singular talent, and his oral account of growing up here, I Didn’t Come up the Liffey in a Bubble, was the most winning of Dublin memoirs. (This birth certificate was actually printed in 1992.)
