Robbie travelled throught the US, and played with Johnny McEvoy on his Americal Tour. One of America’s top Country/Rock bands - High Noon - took on Robbie for the simple reason that he could play any type of music.

Philadeplhia called and Robbie married Leanora from Philadelphia. He joined the Cruise Liners that operated between the East Coast and Bermuda, and also between Miama and Puerto Rico. Robbie and Kathleen Breen were the resident act.

In 1999, Robbie and Leanora left Philadelphia and arrived in Wexford. The music scene had changed since those Showband days, and the 7-piece bands were being replaced by Discos and 2 or 3-piece bands. There were still however a number of Showbands travelling the country and within a week of returning, Robbie’s phone was busy with offers from bands like The Dave Lawlor Band.

Have you any memorabilia from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's featuring Robbie?

I would appreciate any photos, posters, and other memorabilia to copy (and return to you).

Or if you'd like to make contact you could always send me an e-mail to:

One of the very few 'promotional' copies of the original recording of 'little Arrows' which featured Robbie Furlong on Guitar.

'Little Arrows' was released by Leapy Lee in 1968 and was a massive hit in the UK.

Robbie toured throughout the UK with Leapy and his band.

'Little Arrows' was subsequently recorded and released in Ireland by Brendan O'Brien 'The Dixies' and has a reasonable period of success in the Irish charts.
