Fureys in Chicago

From: Chris in Wheaton

I only recently discovered the Fureys, by listening to FolkScene. I really like their new sound (to me, at least) that gets away from the strings on the early cd that I bought.
I am learning their English version of "Steal Away" as well as Linda Healy's Welsh versioh, "Daw Ein Dydd."
So ---- I was very surprised to see that the Fureys will be in Chicago at the Irish American Cultural Center on 9/13. That will be a busy weekend, since the Celtic Fest will also be going on in Grant Park - with the great Welsh group Flynnon, as well as Jenny Armstrong, Cherish the Ladies et al.
Pray for good weather, Chris yn Wheaton

They'll also be at the Gaelic League Irish-American Club in Detroit, on Wednesday, Sept 10th-- 8pm, I think.

They are going to be in St. Louis at Focal Point, but I don't remember the date.

I haven't heard much about the Furies in years but they were great.
Perhaps if you are lucky Finbar will sing "The Old Man."
