Pat has been playing at the Ace for many years and is a staple of the Irish community in Indianapolis. Tent Party!!! 2:30 Derek Warfield & 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.

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. |
