- The Furey Family play ‘The Maid of Mount Cisco’ recorded at the Abbey Tavern in Howth, Co. Dublin.
Ted Furey is on fiddle and his sons Finbar on uilleann pipes and Eddie on guitar.
The programme is presented by Ciarán Mac Mathúna.
This episode of ‘Country Airs’ was broadcast on 4 November 1963.
The series ‘Country Airs’ was one of the first programmes on Teilifís Éireann (now RTÉ) to go on location to record traditional musicians. A television listing from the RTV Guide in 1963 states “Our Mobile Unit leaves the beaten track to bring you the music songs and dances of Ireland from places of unusual interest.” The extract shown here is from the third programme in the series broadcast on 4 November 1963.
Finbar and Eddie went on to form ‘The Furey Brothers’ and later performed as ‘The Furey Family’.
What a gem! I got to know Eddie and Finbar in the late seventies when they were touring in Germany and later that year met them again in Ireland when they played a show with Ted in Tallaght. He was such a humble, talented an friendly person.
What a brilliant talented family
Get back to what your best at lads !!! Never too late 💕
Are you related to them, out of curiosity
I am x
Beautiful music...The Abbey Tavern was a hot spot for sessions in those years..Then came the Old Sheiling..
I Love The Sound Of Uilleann Pipes.☘🇮🇪
Finbar is so young in this video. His father Ted was also an exceptional uillleann piper
Notice the very young Tony McMahon wearing glasses in the front on some shots.
Fabulous
Not long after this, Finbarr and Eddie grew their hair and beards and recorded some incredible music. Their version of Gerry Rafferty’s, “Her father didn’t like me anyway”, is still one of my favourites.
Ted also grew a beard and grew his hair long!
Beautiful.
Incredible talent.
Astonishingly catchy playing. Love that rolling style
Wow
Absolutely based music.
Brilliant 💪🏻🇮🇪👍🏻☘️☘️☘️
Great stuff 👌
Excellent stuff.
There are loads of class uileann pipers around today, but back then there weren't too many pipers about. Finbar is class, Felix and Johnny Doran were tops too but very few clips of them unfortunately.
Love Ted Furey's finger tatts :)
Never noticed that before. How many years later did he grow out that prodigious beard of his?
That's the gear
Related to Tyson fury that's an interesting clan.
