The album features a collection of Finbar’s own compositions, and four well known traditional songs; ‘Kitty’, ‘The Rocks Of Bawn’, ‘Slieve Gallen Braes’ and ‘The Parting Glass’. Finbar brings his own unique style to these classic Irish songs, using his romantic eloquent voice to evoke ages past.
‘Music's Door’ is Finbar's ode to music, but there is a poignancy to it as well, in September 2022, he recorded this duet with his friend, ‘Jump The Gun’ singer Roy Taylor to raise awareness for MND which Roy was suffering from. Sadly he died in June 2023. ‘September Said Goodbye’ is an emotional cry for a lost loved one in the 9/11 tragedy.
The mood takes an upbeat turn with ‘Wild Horses’, a joyful and carefree instrumental, and ‘Blue Jewel In The Sky’, a song Finbar released in 2020 with his daughter Áine Furey, alerting us to the impending horrors of climate change. Finbar draws inspiration from the world around him. His passion for music and the plight of the underdog has always underscored his work. He has honed a talent for finding the soul of a person, a place or a time through his music.
‘Moments In Time’ reflects the artist looking back at the vagaries of life, completing the album with the timeless ‘The Parting Glass’. However, he is also looking forward, emboldened by his music he embraces and celebrates life, and most of all, love.
Finbar says 'Shane MacGowan asked me specially to sing 'Kitty' for his 60th birthday event in the National Concert Hall Dublin in 2018. It was one of his mother's favourite traditional Irish songs. It's a beautiful song which I love singing, and when I added it to my concert setlist it always got an amazing reaction from the audience.’
