THE FUREYS – Farewell Tour and last ever show on the Isle of Wight

The FUREYS are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to capture the public imagination. Their folk based music has received standing ovations in some of the biggest concert halls of the world and they credit their musical ability to their parents, Ted and Nora, who were well known musicians themselves. They encouraged their sons to play music from a very early age and there was live traditional music in their house almost nightly.

In May 2026, the Fureys will come to an end. Eddie and George say “We will have very mixed emotions over the next number of months knowing our working lives as we have known them for so long will be coming to an end”

“We know we have been among the luckiest people on earth having a ‘job’ we love and enjoy, traveling the world to places we would never have been to, meeting people and making many friends, we would never have met. However, time catches up with us all and we will look to a new future from the middle of 2026 playing at the odd music session and seeing the younger Furey generation playing their music. Our manager Joe McCadden will also be retiring from the business after 56 years, 39 of them with us”

The FUREYS will be performing all of their best loved songs in the Shanklin Theatre on Friday 24^thApril 2026.

Tickets £32.00 – includes £2 booking fee.
