Read the Wolfe Tones Story!

Inchicore is an area in Dublin, between the Liffey and the Grand Canal.

Tirconnell Road is one of the main roads in the area. Currently Dublin council has made a development plan for the area. North of Inchicore, at the river is  Memorial Park.

The Office of Public Works [Heritage Ireland] writes:

These gardens are one of the most famous memorial gardens in Europe. They are dedicated to the memory of 49,400 Irish soldiers who died in the 1914 - 1918 war. The names of all the soldiers are contained in the granite bookrooms in the Gardens. These gardens are not only a place of remembrance but are also of architectural interest and of great beauty. Designed by the famous architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944), they are one of four Gardens in this country designed by him. The others being Heywood Gardens, Lambay Island and those in Howth Castle. Sunken rose gardens, herbaceous borders and extensive tree planting make for an enjoyable visit to the Gardens in any season.

There are other Irish Musicians born in Inchicore. So, not only the Warfields of the Wolfe Tones and Finnbar Fury have lived there. One of these is Derrick Keane, lead Vocals and Guitar of the Inchicore, an Irish Band in Boston, USA.

Originally from the Inchicore district of Dublin, Derrick first distinguished himself musically when the duo in which he sang and played swept the All Ireland Talent Competition. In America, his bands have appeared from New Orleans to Boston, and from Washington to San francisco sharing the stage with the likes of The Wolfe Tones, The Fureys, Derek Warfield, Brendan Grace and Danny Doyle in March 1998, himself and James Sullivan formed the band Inchicore, where Derrick's strong vocal and personable energetic stage presence frames his broad range of musical abilities and good taste.

Derrick wrote that he has played with Derek Warfield for four years
