Wolfe Tones lead singer Brian Warfield has actually started a character assassination case versus RTÉ over remarks made by Joe Duffy throughout a Liveline program in 2015. Liveline host Joe Duffy and Mr Warfield clashed on the program on August 15th 2023 over the singing of the band’s tune Celtic Symphony. Mr Warfield validated to The Irish Times on Wednesday that he is taking character assassination procedures versus RTÉ developing from remarks that were made by Mr Duffy throughout the program and broadcast after The Wolfe Tones had actually carried out the tune Celtic Symphony throughout Féile an Phobail in Belfast over the previous weekend. He is represented by widely known libel lawyer Paul Tweed in the procedures, which were submitted in the High Court on Tuesday. The Wolfe Tones revealed last November the band is to retire after a profession covering almost 6 years. The band’s profession started in Dublin in 1964 and consists of hits like Celtic Symphony, Irish Eyes, Grace, Streets of New York and Let The People Sing. In September 2023, they drew the greatest crowd in Electric Picnic’s Electric Arena in the celebration’s 19-year history. Mr Duffy and RTÉ have actually both been called for remark.
