Pat Byrne
Irish Singer-Songwriter With A Gritty Americana Sound
“When you combine the transcendent poetry of Bob Dylan with the gritty, real-world rock-n-roll storytelling Bruce Springsteen made so famous, and add a dash of the political activism embodied by Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, you’ll have Irish singer-songwriter Pat Byrne.” - Folk Alley at 30A Songwriters Festival
An Irish singer-songwriter, Pat Byrne has come a long way since his first deal with Universal. In late 2017, Byrne began his migration to Austin, Texas. In 2019, Pat took the US by storm, with breakout performances at the 30A Festival, SXSW, Kerrville Folk Festival and the Americana Festival. Being immersed in the Texas music scene, Pat's sophomore US release, Into the Light, had an edgier feel underscoring both emotional depth and greater confidence, while blending new influences with his rich Irish heritage.
“The raspy melodic soul of Byrne’s voice recalls the emotional spells the late Austin troubadour Jimmy LaFave used to cast, though Byrne’s songwriting bears a distinctive Irish stamp. He’s more contemporary than strict traditionalists, putting him more in the league of Glen Hansard or Luka Bloom.” - Peter Blackstock, The Austin American Statesman
After nearly forty years as founder, leader, and front-man of the legendary Wolfe Tones, Derek Warfield continues to carry Ireland’s musical heritage forward with The Young Wolfe Tones—a dynamic ensemble dedicated to preserving and re-energizing the Irish ballad tradition for a new generation.
Formed in 2008, the group unites Warfield’s decades of experience with the exceptional talents of Damaris Woods (banjo), Eddie Kane (vocals, guitar), Andreas Durkin (keyboards, vocals), Paddy McGrandles (whistles, flute, vocals), and Brent Hopper (vocals, guitar). Together, they bring Ireland’s songs of heritage, emigration, and rebellion to life with spirited harmonies, skilled instrumentation, and storytelling deeply rooted in history.
From festival stages to intimate theatres, Derek Warfield & The Young Wolfe Tones captivate audiences with performances that are both entertaining and educational. Their concerts blend historical narrative, humor, and musicianship—celebrating Ireland’s struggles and triumphs through timeless ballads and original compositions. The band’s recordings and international tours have won them acclaim as one of the most vibrant groups performing Irish folk and rebel music today.
As the official biography notes, Warfield’s “fifty years of experience, coupled with the talent and energy of The Young Wolfe Tones, brings the old tradition of Irish balladry into a new age. The story of Ireland is transmitted in their music and song and illuminated by the outstanding musicianship of a new generation.”

Many of us know Conor Mallon from his successful tours of the US with the band Connla. While Connla is still a focus for Conor, the shutdown gave him time to work on a solo project that had been percolating for years. The result was, “Unearthed”, a beautiful album that honors tradition while exploring the potential of the Uilleann pipes. Already a favorite showcasing band, Conor is taking Unearthed on the road.
“Unearthed has a number of meanings to me, Says Conor, in relation to this project; unearthing my own solo adventure with the project, unearthing the many unique sounds of the Uilleann Pipes and using them in combination as a percussive element within my own original compositions. ‘Unearthed’ nods to traditions from the past, cast from deep passion and respect, to push boundaries of innovation and creativity whilst never losing sight of the source. I composed and recorded original contemporary Irish music alongside more common repertoire, and used the authentic and unique sounds of the Irish Uilleann Pipes as programming samples-as percussion and rhythm underneath the melody of the track.”
Conor Mallon, from Keady, Co. Armagh, started his musical career with the Armagh Pipers Club where he attended Uilleann Pipe lessons. He has progressed through ranks to become one of the senior teachers at the club before he began touring full time. He has been taught by many pipers over the years and they include Tiarnan O Duinnchinn and Jarlath Henderson. Conor has been categorized as the one leading pipers in his generation as described by folking.com, “In the week that we learned of the passing of Liam O’Flynn it was apposite to hear Conor Mallon leading the next generation of Uilleann pipe players.”
Conor was the first recipient of the ACNI/BBC NI Young Traditional Musicians Platform award and subsequently was a guest musician with the Ulster Orchestra and with the award winning Foden’s Brass Band. Conor is a Senior County, Ulster and All-Ireland Champion on Uilleann Pipes in the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann and has won many other awards including the Uilleann Piping Scholarship by the Na Píobairí Uilleann Dublin in 2008 and was the first recipient of the Mark Donnelly Bursary for Uilleann Piping Award in 2010.
