Wolfe Tones were standard issue listening to most of Catholic Belfast. The album is not as contriversial as the name suggests and features some great ballads. Some history Theobald Wolfe Tone and Henry Joy McCracken met at McArts Fort on the Cavehill to form the United Irishmen and to take an oath to launch the Rebellion of 1798. Both were executed after the rebellion was defeated. Used to go there every week as a teenager and look down on the whole of Belfast City.
