The Wolfe Tones – Golden Irish Ballads 1&2 (CD)

Forty songs from the most enduring name in Irish ballad singing. Formed in Dublin in 1963 and named for the leader of the 1798 Rebellion, The Wolfe Tones built their legend on exactly this material: rebel songs, emigration ballads, comic turns and airs, delivered with the conviction that made them a fixture of Irish life for six decades. Drawn from their classic Dolphin recordings, this double collection sweeps from The Foggy Dew, The Merry Ploughboy and The Boys Of Wexford through Come To The Bower, The Dying Rebel and Banna Strand, alongside gentler moments like My Lagan Love and Róisín Dubh.
