The Young Wolfe Tones are Irish music tradition the way it's meant to be. Derek Warfield has enjoyed a lifetime of success as a founding member of the legendary Wolfe Tones and as a solo artist. His love of musical tradition is such that a way to pass it on was in order. So a new day dawns on The Wolfe Tones legend, The Young Wolfe Tones. Assembled to continue the legacy of a legend are some of Ireland's finest young musicians. Singer/songwriter Padraig Allen hales from a famous musical family himself, and as a front man for the popular Tipperary Celtic rock band The Whole Shabang is no stranger to the American tour circuit having played all major US festival venues. Multi instrumentalist Damaris Woods has won more Irish musical awards than even she can count. Much sought after as a teacher, studio and tour musician, audiences are left spellbound by her amazing musicianship. She is duly recognized as one of the best banjo players of our time. Jim Woods, brother to Damaris, has a host of awards himself and plays an excellent bodhran and a sweet accordion. He is no stranger to television in Ireland, England, Canada and America, he has toured and shared the stage with a who's who of Irish acts, Altan, Andy Cooney, Liz Doherty, he's even shared the stage with Jethro Tull. Their new double CD set is a combination of classic Irish crowd pleasers and a showcase of pure musical talent. It is tradition being "handed on" as the Irish say, but most of all it is just plain fun.
If you like the songs and ballads of Ireland performed at their very very best, then you owe it to yourself to see the living legend that is Derek Warfield 'live' on stage - with The Young Wolfe Tones
