Gin Masterclass. Our Minke Gin School is unlike any other school you will have attended! Learn everything ‘Gin’ with a 2 hour masterclass in the gin making process. Here you will learn about the origins of gin, the craft of distilling and a brief outline of the main gins available on today’s market. While relaxing with a Minke G&T in a fun and interactive environment, you are guided and assisted in fashioning/crafting your own personal recipe. After hand selecting your botanicals you begin to distil your very own bespoke bottle of Gin to take home, and enjoy using one of our gorgeous mini-stills. This is all done in the wonderful setting of the upper balcony of the Still House with amazing views of Clonakilty. ‘School’ also includes a tour of our Minke Gin still, explaining how we make our own award-winning Minke Gin so special. A fun and exciting evening concludes in the Speakeasy, where you will enjoy a G&T made with your very own Gin, fresh from the still before heading home with your very own personalised bottle. We would be delighted to have you join us some evening soon.

The FUREYS have been entertaining audiences worldwide for 42 years, audiences that have included former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Former Irish President Mary McAleese and the late Pope John Paul while Tony Blair has publicly stated his favourite peace song of all time is the FUREYS “Green Fields of France” and President Michael D Higgins attended their last concert in National Concert Hall.

The band was 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 and Paul 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.

Inevitably changes have occurred over the years. Their brother Paul died suddenly in June 2002 and Finbar left the band in December 1996, however George and Eddie have continued to delight audiences on their tours and have released a new CD ‘The Fureys…40 years on…to be continued’

The oldest of the brothers, Eddie Furey left home in 1966 and travelled to Scotland at the time of the great folk revival where he met and shared accommodation in Edinburgh with then unknown folk singers Billy Connolly, Gerry Rafferty and Alex Campbell, now all famous in their own right. In 1969 with his brother Finbar, he was the special guest for the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem throughout the USA and Canada. In 1971 he moved to mainland Europe where he toured for seven years, building up a huge following particularly in Germany. Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics has credited Eddie with teaching him his first chords on guitar when they met up in the North East of England while Dave was still a teenager.

The FUREYS are responsible for some of the most stirring music ever to capture the public imagination. Their folk based music has received standing ovations in some of the biggest concert halls of the world and they credit their musical ability to their parents, Ted and Nora, who were well known musicians themselves. They encouraged their sons to play music from a very early age and there was live traditional music in their house almost nightly.

Their emotive songs stir many emotions….tears and laughter, sadness and joy.

A FUREYS concert is always a night to remember
