A special group of Irish men and women have been responsible for preservation of the tradition of Irish ballad singing over the past 50 years. Derek Warfield is a distinguished name among them. Derek Warfield and the Young Wolfe Tones are bringing that musical tradition forward with a reference for Ireland's past and the energy and optimism of a new generation of Irish musicians. Known throughout the world for their quality musical presentation of Irish patriotic songs and traditional music, they are a perennial favorite every time they come to town. After a prolonged absence due to the pandemic, we are excited to welcome them back to the KC Irish Center as part of our Irish Season events!
