One of Ireland's most acclaimed and influential middle of the road, folk and traditional bands, The FUREYS will play two concerts in Galway in January, 2025.
Recognised for classic tunes such as 'I Will Love You', 'When You Were Sweet 16', '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', The FUREYS will be performing all of their best loved songs at the Shearwater Hotel, Ballinasloe on Thursday, January 2, and the Town Hall Theatre, Galway on Friday, January 24.
The FUREYS are one of Ireland’s all-time most acclaimed and influential middle of the road, folk and traditional bands. 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.
The FUREYS are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to capture the public imagination. Their folk based music has received standing ovations in some of the biggest concert halls of the world and they credit their musical ability to their parents, Ted and Nora, who were well known musicians themselves. They encouraged their sons to play music from a very early age and there was live traditional music in their house almost nightly.
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.
