The Young Wolfe Tones feature some of the finest Irish musicians and singers from a younger generation and bring guaranteed excitement, fun and passion to every performance.
Damaris Woods hails from County Meath and is recognized as one of the finest tenor banjo players in Ireland, but perhaps, more importantly, she is also an expert teacher, as many of her pupils in the communities of Kildare, Meath, Cavan and Tyrone will attest.

Fintan is one of Ireland’s finest up and coming balladeers and is quickly following in the footsteps of the famous Warfield clan, sharing the same passion of his family mentor, Derek Warfield.

Liam Clancy, Christy Moore and of course his multi-talented father as
as his biggest influences for the crafting of his own style. Wayne is a

name The Lowrys.
Music & song was always present in Mylos home when he was growing
up. His grandmother and mother enjoyed listening to music and the songs
of Ireland thus encouraging Mylo to do the same. However, it was his
brother-in-law who inspired him to showcase his passion and It was his
renditions of The Knock Song and “Joxer goes to Stuttgart” by Christy
Moore which have been etched into the deepest walls of his memory. The
entertainment these songs offered was second to none and he became
obsessed with learning the lyrics. Today, Mylo experiences remarkable
