The WolfeTones, Ireland’s Premier Folk group, are coming to Australia in January 2010 and it promises to be a major Irish musical event. They perform at Burswood Theatre on 29 January.

The Wolfe Tones have enjoyed unprecedented success and longevity in their career. Spawning from the explosion of ballad based Irish folk bands in the 60’s the Tones raised head and shoulders above all their contemporaries to accomplish the legendary status they enjoy now.

From the moment of their inception, the band forged their reputation for highly charged political folk singing. From their debut single, ‘The Spanish Lady’, in 1964, they rapidly rose in the folk firmament, playing in the USA’s Carnegie Hall by 1976. In 1973 they had their first number 1 single in the Irish charts with ‘The Helicopter Song’ followed by ‘The Streets Of New York’ in 1981 which stayed at the top of the Irish charts for seven weeks.
