During over fifty years of producing music, the Wolfe Tones have enjoyed substantial success in Ireland and the United States, where they continue to tour annually. Their most famous song is "A Nation Once Again", which was voted the number one song of all time by a 2002 BBC World Service vote.[1] The Wolfe Tones are also well known for "Celtic Symphony", a 1987 musical tribute to the centennial of Celtic Football Club, and "Joe McDonnell", a song that chronicled the 1981 Hunger Strike in Northern Ireland.

In early 2020 their single Come Out, Ye Black and Tans regained prominence in the Official Charts of Ireland and the UK, due to political controversy surrounding a planned commemoration of the Royal Irish Constabulary.[2]
