The Fureys Farewell Tour
AS PART of their farewell tour, the Fureys will play their final Limerick gig at the University Concert Hall.
As one of the country's most acclaimed and influential folk and traditional bands, the Fureys will play their classics, which have become the soundtrack to so many lives.

The concert in Limerick on January 17, 2026, will feature hits like When You Were Sweet 16, I Will Love You, From Clare to Here and Her Father Didn't Like Me Anyway.
In May 2026, the Fureys will come to an end.
They have seen many changes over the years and George and Eddie have kept the show going.
Finbar left the band in 1996, then in June 2002, their brother Paul died suddenly, and in 2014, Davey suffered a stroke, which he is still recovering from.
On bidding farewell to their long-standing musical careers, Eddie and George said that it will be bitter sweet, but now is the right time.
“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, travelling 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.”
Tickets for the Limerick concert are €35 and are available on www.uch.ie.
