The Wolfe Tones Phenomenon

This book is an attempt to place the Wolfe Tones, arguably Ireland's most popular and internationally successful folk and ballad band, in its political and social context. To explain why it was felt that these accomplished musicians should be kept away from mass entertainment via the broadcast media and why their immense contribution to the national economy at a time of financial crisis should be ignored. Also to collate their considerable achievements.
This unplanned gallop through Irish history had the unexpected result of discovering the pivotal influence of the Wolfe Tones in bringing about the Peace Agreement in Northern Ireland.
