Derek Warfield & The Young Wolfe Tones

It’s not every day that Derek Warfield & The Young Wolfe Tones come to Van City! We have the pleasure of welcoming the man that founded Irish Ballad sensation ‘The Wolfe Tones’ to the Queen Elizabeth II Theatre in Vancouver on Thursday 10th November.

Derek Warfield’s lifelong passion for engaging people in the music and story of Ireland is also very present in the other band members “Communication with a live audience through music is what I believed to be of primary importance when I founded the Old Wolfe Tones in 1963. In performing with The Young Wolfe Tones, I continue to communicate with audiences while also passing on an important tradition to a new generation. But perhaps most importantly, it has been fun and enjoyable and every performance gets better. The experience has reinvigorated me and given the young players and singers the opportunity to display their skills and talents around the world. And I believe that I am passing on an ancient Irish bardic tradition worthy of preservation to a younger generation”

A special group of Irish men and women have been responsible for preservation of the tradition of Irish ballad singing over the past 50 years. Derek Warfield is a distinguished name among them. Derek Warfield and They Young Wolfe Tones are bringing that musical tradition forward with a reverence for Ireland’s past and the energy and optimism of a new generation of Irish musicians.

After spending nearly 40 years as founder, leader and front man of the legendary Wolfe Tones (named after the 18th Century Irish Revolutionary Theobald Wolfe Tone), Derek Warfield is revered as a singer, songwriter, historian and entertainer in all parts of the world where Irish roots have been put down. The Wolfe Tones enjoyed phenomenal success with 13 best-selling albums, 3 number one hits, many television appearances and shows in esteemed venues such as New York’s Carnegie Hall and The Royal Albert Hall in London.
