Brian Warfield reveals that he intends to seek an apology from Joe Duffy and RTE after Duffy lambasted him and the group on a recent Live Line Show.

“Joe Duffy was very abusive and I think totally out of line,” Warfield says.

“To slur me on the airwaves and demonise me, telling me that I made money on the back of violence and death in the North…that is untrue.

“He should have been totally objective and he should know The Wolfe Tones after all these years.

“He said our music is rubbish. I put a lot of work into writing songs, orchestrating songs and everything like that.

“You might be able to say, ‘well, I don’t like that song,’ and that’s fine…but calling it rubbish is a total slur upon me and the group.”

The Wolfe Tones have their own brand of whiskey and Warfield adds that despite the row with Duffy he is considering sending him a bottle of their latest product, Celtic Symphony.

“You never know I might,” he laughs. “I don’t hold grudges against anybody
