Dan Furey

Dan Furey (England, 12 September 1909 - Lackyle, Labasheeda, 7 August 1993) was an Irish dance teacher and fiddle player.

From there his fame as dance teacher and fiddler spread and in the 1980s he was invited to give lessons in Great Britain and the United States.

There he drove doctors and nursing staff berserk, by keeping dancing, even in bed.

[4] Labasheeda organised a dance festival in 1995 in Furey's memory.

Former students showed up from all over Ireland, United States and Great Britain.
