The Fureys & Davey Arthur play Draíocht for two nights in October. The Fureys & Davey Arthur will celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2008 with a series of concerts throughout Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Canada. They will also release a live DVD / CD to coincide with the anniversary tour.

The band were formed in 1978 literally by accident. George, Paul and Davey were playing in Denmark with their own band called the Buskers and Eddie and Finbar, while touring in Germany were involved in a road accident. When George, Paul and Davey got news of the accident they immediately travelled to Germany to be with their brothers. They then decided that they should all be playing together and this was the start of the Fureys and Davey Arthur.

Played from at least 1000 to 1800 and made famous by harpers such as Carolan, it died out in the early 19th century to be replaced by the neo-Irish harp strung in gut and now also nylon.
