IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS TUNE THERE SOMTHING WRONG WITH YOUR EARS MAN!!!!!

[AardeWerkDB]

I saw them perform last saturday in Moergestel (Holland) and it was fantastic. It was the second time I saw them live.I like the band and especcially George who always takes the time to have a chat with fans. Years ago my wife was very ill, a few months before she died we went to Ireland (Dublin and the wicklow mountains) for a week, in that period we often listened to The Fureys, that's why this music is so important for me personally. ps. Luke my compliments for the way you play the whistle.

[Jutterenkok]

Yesterday we heard them play this one live in Meursinge Westerbork. Seemed like a private concert with only 120 people in the house. Liked the show a lot.

If you close your eyes you could be at the Cliffs of moher.When the accordian ships in ,I can,t help but think Tragic Ireland..God forsaken Country we love with every bone in our body,and the veins pump Ireland

[DXMorpheus]

This is a great tune, I heard them live a month ago and you can tell they are good as they sound just as good or better live than on CD, same it can't be said for some artists today.

[nocandoman1969]

[brinnpirate]

I saw the Furies play in Boston with my mom. What a nice memory...Thanx for posting....Do they still play together?? It's been so long and I'm aging....

[AngelikDevl]

Luke is great at that whistle. xD But boy does he stand out from the rest of them. xDDD

[guinnessdreams]

cant go wrong with the Furey brothers!

This song is .... there are no words....

[jdfanscot]

seen Finbar play this live sorry he is much better.. can any one explain to me why he does not play with his brothers any more?

[IrishandFolkmusic]

Because his head got too big, simple. Although he is an amazing instrument player together these guys have better voices

[emmettwalsh00]

there is only one man for this fab tune and thats FINBAR FUREY!!!!! SORRY LADS

[josparkes1]

Fantastic band always !

The flautist / whistle player is brilliant !

Such a blessing from multyculturism!!!!!

[Uitiam]

here's a wish: Finabar, John Sheehan, Rory Gallagher, Seamus Ennis and Sean MaGuire playing a Lonesome Boatman set.

... well maybe Finbar and John may oblige

[polaroidboekelo1]

don't forget Paul....

[draoicht22]

directly connected to the other realm they are, the underworld land of the little people whatever you want to call it!

[H34DRU5H]

I knew the Fureys well, particularly paul and Eddie. Paul is buried near my mother in Newlands cross cemetery.

[chillipus]

Great job. Keep practicing and one day you will grow up to be "almost" as good as FINBAR.

[roybuckleytv]

Great Version of this, but it's hart to top the man himself, Finbar, playing it!

Great stuff though!!!

Very enjoyable!
