It was the renowned BBC DJ John Peel who in 1972 gave Finbar Furey and his brother Eddie their big break by voting their combination of uilleann pipes and guitar as act of the year. When the younger brothers Paul and George joined the fold, several years later, The Fureys enjoyed a string of best-selling records all over the world. With Finbar as lead singer, songs such as ‘When You Were Sweet Sixteen’, ‘Leaving Nancy’, ‘Green Fields of France’, ‘Red Rose Café’ and ‘The Lonesome Boatman’ established them as one of the most popular acts to come out of Ireland. They became one of the first Irish folk groups to play on Top of the Pops.
