Biography

The Fureys are an Irish folk band. They have also performed and recorded as The Fureys & Davey Arthur, after Scottish musician Davey Arthur joined them.

The group formed in 1978 and consisted initially of four brothers. Prior to this, two of the brothers toured as a duo known simply as Finbar & Eddie Furey. Their brother Paul Furey had, together with brother George, Davey Arthur and Brendan Leeson, been in a band called The Buskers. Both bands were part of a successful tour through Germany called the “Irish Folk Festival”, first in 1974, where they performed as The Furey Brothers and later as The Furey Family.
