One night only with Finbarr Furey in Trim
Finbar Furey, recently back from a six week tour of Australia, makes an appearance in Trim's Knightsbrook Hotel for 'one night only ' on Sunday 26th May. His rare talents are appreciated on a world-wide stage and he treats audiences to evenings of pure Irish magic, great music, good humour, and the charm and sparkling wit associated with one of Ireland’s great raconteurs.
Finbar comes from a unique pedigree – an all-Ireland Uilleann Pipe Champion and whistle player, singer/songwriter as well as playing 5-string banjo, and guitar. Finbar has been round the block many times. Firstly with his father, where along with Ronnie Drew, they began the famous O'Donughues' sessions in the '60's. Then with Brother Eddie and the Clancy brothers all over the States and Britain subsequently achieving fame as lead singer/ frontman of The Furey Brothers, where they became one of the first Irish folk groups to play on Top of the Pops.
Now he works solo performing songs from his latest album 'Colours' and of course singing the songs he will be associated forever with such as Sweet 16, The Green Fields of France and many others.
