The landmark Belfast concerts guarantee a magical night to remember for local fans as The Fureys perform some of the most emotive music ever composed, packed with their legendary classics together with some of their latest compositions.
The FUREYS are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to capture the public imagination.

Their music has received standing ovations in concert halls all over the world, from Dublin’s National Concert Hall to the Sydney Opera House. They have performed in front of Irish Presidents and international leaders that have included the late Pope John Paul.

The enduring legacy of The Fureys can be traced back to the 1960s when
Eddie Furey travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival, where he met and shared accommodation in Edinburgh with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty and Alex Campbell. In 1969 the world stage beckoned as Eddie and Finbar Furey joined the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem as special guests on their tour of the USA and Canada.
Inevitably changes have taken place over the years. Paul Furey died suddenly in June 2002 and Finbar left the band in December 1996, however George and Eddie have continued to front The Fureys and delight audiences on their sold-out tours.
40 Years On… to be continued is the latest album by The Fureys, in celebration of their 40th anniversary and current tour.
