The Fureys

Renowned for their hit songs including, I Will Love You, When You Were Sweet 16, The Green Fields of France, The Old Man’, Red Rose Café, From Clare To Here, Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway, Leaving Nancy, Steal Away, and many more, The Fureys are hitting the road again. The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where with his brother, Finbar, he met and shared accommodation with the then unknown folk singers, Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty, Tam Harvey and Alex Campbell. In 1972, Gerry Rafferty wrote, Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter, the late John Peel made it his single of the year. 

The Fureys 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. Their emotive songs continue to stir many emotions, tears and laughter, sadness and joy.
