Part of a very special group of Irish men and women who have been responsible for the preservation of traditional Irish ballad singing over the past 50 years, Derek Warfield is one of the most distinguished names among them.

Now he spearheads the Young Wolfe Tones to bring that musical tradition forward; a reverence for Ireland’s past with the energy & optimism of a new generation of Irish musicians.

“We’re presenting an old tradition in a new package – and I’ve the same passion for it now as I had when it all started 50 years ago!”, says Derek (formerly of the Wolfe Tones). It brings us great pleasure then, to welcome both the legend of Derek Warfield and his Young Wolfe Tones to the Pairc Summer Series stage this August bank holiday!
