Mighty Wolfe Tones tour Wales in October
A night no rebel should miss!
Following their last triumphal visit to Cardiff more than three years ago the fierce and mighty Wolfe Tones, Ireland¹s greatest Rebel Band, return for an all-Wales tour, appearing for one-night gigs in Caernarfon, Aberystwyth and Cardiff.
Known for their uncompromising portrayal of Ireland’s troubled history -now often forgotten in Celtic Tiger euphoria - the Wolfe Tones repertoire features some of the great classical rebel songs and ballads in addition their own stirring compositions, celebrating the deeds of the heroic men and women who gave their lives for their country’s freedom.
Any evening with the Wolfe Tones will be a rousing, uplifting and electrifyingly emotional experience with music and song which goes straight to the heart. As Wales experiences her own rocky road to political freedom, the art of the Wolfe Tones will open the eyes to the long, brave and resolute struggle of the Irish nation for independence and dignity among the nations of the world.
