Wolfe Tones - Late Late Show

orangesoda · 30-03-2014 12:48PM #1

I noticed that they were on the late late show on friday, I then found this on youtube, I found it an interesting watch. I like some of their songs for instance 'The Boys of the old brigade' but i don't think i could ever see them live as i hate scottish soccer. Are you a fan?

I remember years ago the band Moving Hearts were known as the political wing of the Wolfe Tones.

No. I support Liverpool.

As for the Wolfe Tones.

They belong to an era of drunken Fianna Fáil ard feis nights and homesick ould farts from Cork and Kerry singing down the back of smoky old shítholes in North London.

Rabble rousing tripe designed to wind up drunk young wans into thinking they are fighting for Ireland whilst wrecking their own towns played by cowardly dinosaurs who would sh1te themselves if they saw a bullpup pointed at them.

It's easy being a freedom fighter in a hotel ballroom in Kerry.

I'm just wondering if they're being kept in a freezer.

They haven't aged a bit in about twenty years

For me, some good songs, some plastic paddy masterpieces too though.

Dubliners ftw.

I remember a bar man in Cork described the Wolftones as more wolf than tone, they play ramshackle traditional music amazingly well. Paddy's Dream was probably the only notable thing they done really.

The one glaring omission from the GFA was that it didn't extend decommissioning to musical instruments.

Let the People Sing album is an all time classic, one of the best rebel albums ever

I demand royalties.

Money ones. Not the monarchical kind that they sing about, of course.

Would someone please decommission that font? :eek:

Wolfe Tones on the Late Late would have had my granny in an almighty fit. "Glorified gurriers" she called them.
