Legends of Irish music and song, The Fureys come to Theatre Severn for a St Patrick's weekend concert!
Renowned for their hit songs I Will Love You, The Green Fields of France, and The Old Man, their UK chart success brought Irish folk and traditional music to new audiences. The band made their Top of the Pops debut in 1981.
The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey, left home in 1966. He travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival, where with his brother Finbar, he met and shared accommodation with then-unknown folk singers Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty, Tam Harvey and Alex Campbell.
In 1972, Gerry Rafferty wrote Her Father Didn’t Like Me Anyway for Eddie. BBC Radio 1 presenter, the late John Peel made it his single of the year.
Their emotive songs stir many emotions - tears, laughter, sadness and joy.
