The Worcester County St. Patrick's Parade announced today that Derek Warfield and his Young Wolfe Tones will be appearing in concert on Friday, November 1, 2008 at 7:30 PM at the Hibernian Cultural Centre located at 19 Temple Street, Worcester. Advance tickets are $22. (Tickets will be available at the door for $25).

Derek Warfield has a 40+ year track record of pleasing crowds all over the globe. Derek brings with him some very talented musicians. Damaris Woods has won more than her fair share of Irish titles as a musician. She has been a sensation since childhood, an extremely sought after studio musician, and more importantly, a master teacher of many instruments in Ireland. She is considered one of the finest banjo players touring today. Padraig Allen is a singer/songwriter and hales from Ireland's famous musical Allen family. Padraig made a name for himself as front man for the popular Tipperary based Celtic roc band The Whole Shabang. He is a talented showman who is comfortable on stage and has played in front of the biggest festival crowds America has to offer. Jim Woods, brother to Damaris, has a stack of music awards himself and is also dedicated to teaching the tradition of music. He is quite at home on the accordion among other instruments. He has toured with Altan, Andy Cooney, Liz Doherty, and recorded with countless others. These young talented musicians join the legendary Derek Warfield as The Young Wolfe Tones to inherit a musical legacy, to carry around the world, the banner of Ireland, her patriots, her love of music, and the stories her music tells.

Proceeds of the concert benefit the Worcester County St. Patrick's Parade.
