The Fureys are an Irish male folk band. They also sometimes record as the The Fureys and Davey Arthur. The group formed in 1974 and consisted initially of 4 brothers. They mixed their traditional Irish musical roots with mainstream Anglo-American pop. The band later met Davey Arthur and had their biggest commercial successes working with him.

The single 'When You Were Sweet Sixteen reached number fourteen in the British charts, whilst they also had two top forty albums called "Golden Days" and "At the End of the Day".

What you will not see written down is that the Fureys are settled Irish 'tinkers' and are second only the the Dubliners as an Irish band.

Here is further info Fureys and Davey Arthur

Being of Irish-Scottish descent, I love Irish music. Thanks for the clip. I'll be looking up these guys.

A fellow Celt and even closer than the Welsh. We even shared a king with my first name, Robert the Bruce, was it?

This is my first video, music or otherwise on clipmarks. At first I didn't get it as to how it works but then, hey presto.

More interesting is how I had access to this particular video. I'm righthand on Delicious. There is French bloke with very similar world interests as me, who calls himself frenchnutter. He could just as easily call himself the irishnutter as he might know more about here than I do. He is from him that I got this video, which is the whole point of my long winded explanation, if you are still reading!

Before Clipmarks, which is only a short time ago, I spent...

I love it! I love it! I'm a Furey -- I wonder if there is a connection. I am told my ancestors hail from Galway.
So far it's been a great clipping day.

Absolutely brilliant. I've been here cackling away like a xxxx-nutter for minutes. Was it my infrequent Delicious tagging lately that brought you over here? I'd being relying on you and some lesser taggers to fill in for me in the meantime.

TG that I had acknowledged your part in my posting "Green Fields". I wonder has anyone else's arrival been so well heralded.

And as for that sex thing...We are talking about a meeting of MINDS here. Male or female doesn't enter into it. I'm amazed that you are so acknowledgeable about Ireland. As I've written, I have somehow rediscovered my own place.

Have you check me in further in Blogger

Dollross, you have taste. I've had some success here on ClipMarks but the lack of success of this clip was a disappointment. That this is your first really gladdens my old heart. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do each time that I hear it.

Only "Grace" is more meaningful and it was received even worse. I think that I deleted it from ClipMarks. You should find it in the same French site that this was on. If you have a problem, let me know and I'll repost it.
