Dunno about 'sub-Wolfe Tones' as they actually lived in Norn Iron as opposed to the Tones wing of bar-stool Republicanism. I assume that thread is about the song 'Shipyard Slips', I doubt you'll find a song the Tones penned that can stand up to that one. It's not at all sectarian either, though probably not representative of their work in general. Someone in a 'Slips' thread said that they were 'aligned' with the INLA at one point - which is a very dark shade of green indeed. I also seem to remember Christy Moore mentioning them in his notes on the song 'Our Lord and Jesse James' in the Christy Moore songbook. The song itself doesn't mince about, either. Fairly virulently anti-SDLP.
