FOR more than 39 years, Ireland’s legends, The Fureys, have been selling out concerts worldwide and are performing at Carnegie Hall for what will be a great night of Irish music, songs and stories.
Hear them sing timeless classics including When You Were Sweet 16, I Will Love You, The Green Fields of France, Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway, Leaving Nancy, Steal Away The Old Man, Red Rose Café, From Clare to Here, along with songs from their new CD The Times They Are a Changing.
They are at Dunfermline's Carnegie Hall on Saturday May 20.
The band was formed in 1978 literally by accident. George, Paul and Davey were playing in Denmark with their own band called the Buskers and Eddie and Finbar, while touring in Germany were involved in a road accident. When George and Paul got news of the accident they immediately travelled to Germany to be with their brothers. They then decided that they should all be playing together and this was the start of the FUREYS.
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 will be releasing a new CD to celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2018
