The FUREYS are one of Ireland’s all-time most acclaimed and influential middle of the road, folk and traditional bands. Fureys classics such as I Will Love You, When You Were Sweet 16, Red Rose Café, Leaving Nancy, The Old Man, From Clare to Here, The Green Fields
of France and Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway have become the soundtrack to the lives of fans all over the world. The Fureys indelible musical footprint shows no signs of reaching a final destination.

The Furey brothers were still trying to make it as folk singers in the late Sixties when Eddie Furey shared flats in Scotland with then fellow folk stars-in-waiting, Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty (of Baker Street fame).

Eddie and George 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. Eddie recalls how several musicians have told him they were influenced after hearing a Fureys record from their parents or grandparents. Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics started out as a stage hand working in a theatre in Newcastle and credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on the guitar. Eddie would return the compliment by joining Dave on stage in Paris for a jam during the latter’s wedding to Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey.
