For over 40 years now, The Wolfe Tones have been synonymous with singing the songs that tell the history of Ireland and no one incident has left its mark as much as that cold morning on Easter Monday 1916 when a group of Irish Volunteers took over the GPO and proclaimed the Irish Republic, the founding act of the democratic Irish State. 2006 marks the 90th anniversary of the Irish Declaration of Independence and the Wolfe Tones have put together a collection of their songs to commemorate the occasion, including many of the greatest hits.
