The Fureys

The Fureys are one of Ireland’s all-time most acclaimed and influential MOR, folk and traditional bands. Furey classics such as I Will Love You, When You Were Sweet Sixteen, Red Rose Café, Leaving Nancy, the Old Man, From Clare to Here, Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway and the Green Fields of France have become the soundtrack to the lives of fans all over the world.

The Fureys indelible musical footprint is rivalled only by their vast collection of personal stories of their musical experiences and friendships, gathered by Eddie and George Furey along an amazing 48-year journey which shows no signs of reaching a final destination. They are particularly proud of their UK chart success with songs such as I Will Love You and When You Were Sweet Sixteen, which in turn helped bring Irish folk and traditional music to a completely new audience. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981. 

Inevitably changes have occurred over the years. Their brother Paul died suddenly in June 2002, Finbar left the band in December 1996 and Davey got a stroke in March 2014 which he is still recovering from. However, George and Eddie have continued to delight audiences on their tours and releasing CDs.

The Fureys are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to capture the public imagination. Their emotive songs stir many emotions, tears and laughter, sadness and joy. The Fureys will be performing all of their best loved songs on tour in 2024. A Fureys concert is always a night to remember
