The Fureys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fureys are an Irish male folk band. They also sometimes record as the The Fureys and Davey Arthur.
The group formed in 1978 and consisted initially of four brothers [1]. They mixed their traditional Irish musical roots with mainstream Anglo-American pop. The band later met Davey Arthur and had their biggest commercial successes working with him.
The single "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" reached number fourteen in the UK Singles Chart, whilst they also had two Top 40 albums called Golden Days and At the End of the Day.[2]
Other notable songs include "Gallipoli", "The Red Rose Cafe", "Steal Away" and "The Green Fields of France". As of January 2008, the band is still recording and touring. 2008 also saw the band celebrate their 30th anniversary.
