BAZ Lyr Req: Night Ferry (Finbar Furey & Wizz Jones) (13) Tune Add: NIGHT FERRY (Fureys and Davey Arthur) 25 Mar 98


I typed this in from the Furey's songbook. It sounds a bit strange played on a piano sound but try it out with ABCMusic if you have a copy and switch the instruments to Accordian and it works quite well.

I'm going to name drop here which is not normally my style but last summer Finbar Furey came to our village to see a friend, heard us playing and invited us to bring our instruments along to the local golf club and jam with him. I tell you he is an extremely talented and one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I was learning to play the low D whistle at the time and just about to throw it away in frustration, after 10 mins tuition I felt like I'd been playing it all my life. Finbar had just had a low A whistle made and even he was struggling, It was just like trying to play the tubes on a vacuum cleaner!
