Biography:
The Fureys is an Irish folk band that initially performed and recorded as The Fureys & Davey Arthur with family friend Davey Arthur. The name eventually simplified to The Fureys when Arthur no longer performed with them after 1993 (though he returned for a number of recordings until he had a stroke in 2014).
Prior to 1976, two of the Furey brothers toured as a duo Finbar & Eddie Furey. Meanwhile, their brother Paul Furey had, together with brother George, and family friend Davey Arthur and Brendan Leeson, been in the band The Buskers.
