Old Bog Road (The Fureys) (LP 4316)

The Fureys & Davey Arthur  The Scattering (CD, Harmac Records, 1988) **  

Genre: Folk 

Places I remember: The Shona Walding collection

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/ Gear costume: Tara Hill

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6; Part 7

Active compensatory factors: 
The Fureys are an Irish folk band originally formed in 1974. The group were initially built around the four Furey brothers who grew up in Ballyfermot, Dublin - Eddie, Finbar, Paul and George. 

They are a prolific outfit; this album is one they did in collaboration with Irish folk singer, Davey Arthur.

It's of the gentle folk music with a smooth gloss school of Irish folk music. This album is the mainstream, easy listening style that obviously Shona liked. I've kept it because it's easy on the ear and undemanding given the right circumstances. 

Where do they all belong? A non-essential addition, but it fits certain moods.
