The Young Wolfetones

Derek Warfield is considered one of the greatest Irish entertainers of all time.  He has made
famous the songs that many of the other bands duplicate--A Nation Once Again, Come Out Ye
Black N Tans, Some Say the Devil is Dead, Celtic Symphony and many others.  Derek was lead
singer/songwriter of the Wolfetones, prior to leaving a few years ago.  Now Derek has teamed
with an incredible cast--Padraig Allen, lead singer of the Irish band The Whole Shabang who has
an amazing voice, and 2 incredible musicians, Damaris (banjo) and Jim (accordion/bodhran)
Woods, who have won numerous awards for their respective instruments.  They will be in Florida
the day before, Chicago at night...but at the Ace on St. Patrick's Day!!!
5:30 The McCabes
The McCabes have performed at Irish Fests and pubs throughout the nation, been the house band
for the best Irish music pub in the nation (Paddy Reilly's in NYC) and in fact were so impressive
last year on 3/17 at the Ace that we had to break down tables for the growing dance crowd that
had assembled in front of the stage.  Lead singer/songwriter, Sean McCabe has made such hits
as "Paddy's Day", "Have a Guinness Every Day", "
Cavan Is My Home" and is one of the best Irish
singer/songwriters of his generation.  Other members of this 5 piece band include Rick Snell,
who is one  great  guitarist and fiddler Clarance Ferrari, whose fiddle just blazes when he plays.
8:30 Trooper Thorn
Trooper Thorn is a fun Indy Irish band that will have you dancing, clapping and singing along to
their great mix of Irish and American songs.  Comprised of 6 members, (including 2 McGinleys'),
this band will keep you on your feet and dancing till the wee hours of the night.
