Martin Furey - Former member of The High Kings and Irish Musician | Talk4 EP #60 by Louis Skupien

Martin is the eldest son of Ireland’s ‘Prince of Pipers’ Finbar Furey, and is a highly talented musician in his own right. A masterful guitarist and a Uilleann pipes player of amazing ability, he has taken his style of music to delighted audiences all over the world for over three decades. Along with his emotive voice, Martin puts all his talents to good use both on his self-penned songs and on the traditional Irish music his family is so steeped in. He brings it all home by highlighting songs in their purest form with the resonance and ornamentation of the 19th century, yet the melodies and instrumentation that are timely and refreshing.  

Martin has a unique brand of contemporary singer/songwriter folk music, which takes traditional rhythms and instruments, and adds an oblique twist to produce an exhilarating sound that has been wowing audiences for decades. In addition to his vocal abilities, Martin is also a master of: Uilleann Pipes / Whistles: Martin was in his own words “forcibly inducted into the pipes fraternity aged 7” with his father, Finbar being a three time All Ireland champion, it was almost inevitable that the pipes would come to play a major role in Martin’s life and music.
