neil cooney 10,415 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 As far as I know the Fureys are still going strong. They're from Traveler stock. The Lonesome Boatman is one of my favourite tunes of all time. Finbarr Furey was asked why he didn't write any words for it. He said he couldn't think of any. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
