The Fureys all set to take to the stage at the Palace Theatre, Redditch

Redditch Editorial 4th May, 2016 Updated: 18th Oct, 2016   0

LEGENDS of Irish music & song The Fureys, renowned for hit songs like ‘I will love you’, ‘When you were sweet 16’, ‘The Green fields of France’, and more return to the Palace Theatre tomorrow evening, Saturday (May 7).

The band was formed in 1978 literally by accident. George, Paul and Davey were playing in Denmark with their own band called the Buskers and Eddie and Finbar, while touring in Germany were involved in a road accident.

When George and Paul got news of the accident they immediately travelled to Germany to be with their brothers. They then decided that they should all be playing together and this was the start of the Fureys.

The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where he shared accommodation in Edinburgh with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty and Alex Campbell, now all famous in their own right while Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on guitar.
