Finbar & Eddie Furey

Two folk legends from Ireland

"Finbar and Eddie Furey are two of Ireland's most successfull traditional musicians. Emerging in the mid-60's from a highly musical family, they later became a household name as "The Fureys" (with they two brothers George and Paul and multi-instrumentalist Davey Arthur) and had a TOP20 single in 1981 with "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" :-)

Finbar and Eddie Furey recorded two LPs for Transatlantic in 1968 and 1969 both featuring songs, slow airs and dances. The unique combination of Finbar's plainitive whistle and Uillean pipes and Eddie'swild voice gives a windswept, rather desolate flavour to the sadder songs, contrasting with the frisky whistle and brisk piping on the dance tunes. "The Lonesome Boatman" the title track of their second album, played by Finbar on the Indian whistle, has lost none of its power after three decades

Finbar and Eddie were extremely popular act in Ireland, Scotland and in the UK and inspired many other players ot the time. "  (Laurence Aston)

"Sold-out tours and standing ovations give testimony to the electricity and excitement generated by these three great individual fiddle stylists. Kevin Burke (Ireland), Christian Lemaître (Brittany) and André Brunet (Quebec) combine their talents, musical traditions, and spontaneous humor for an evening of dazzling energy and subtle grace. Called "three of the finest folk violinists anywhere" by The Washington Post, these traditional masters showcase their regional repertoires and together conjure an experience of breathtaking performances." Read more...
