The Wolfe Tones say fans are emailing band begging them to reconsider retirement
The Wolfe Tones singer Brian Warfield has said they've received hundreds of emails from fans asking the band to reconsider their retirement. The band performed their last two shows last weekend at Thomond Park in Limerick after 60 years of touring. But Brian teased he doesn't think it is the end for the trio just yet and a Croke Park gig could be on the cards. He revealed: "I was talking to MCD after it and I told them about all the emails we got from people not wanting us to give up. "Tommy (Byrne) and Noel (Nagle) aren't too keen on doing another one, but I said, 'it could be Croke Park or the Aviva'. "I said it to Tommy and he said he'd come back for Croke Park. So it left the door half open. "He seemed to be enjoying it. I wasn't in the car with him going back from the stadium, but I saw the video of him waving at everybody and enjoying every minute of it and I thought, 'this fella is not giving up yet.' "We already turned down a gig in Glasgow after Liverpool and Tommy said he was happy enough and he didn't need any more money."

He said: "It was kind of sad. All of the emails afterwards were saying 'please, please don't give up'. "Two nights sold out and the crowd couldn't have been nicer, couldn't have been more responsive than they were. "They had great passion. People were crying in ways. "A lot of people were very emotional and there were a lot of young kids saying, 'you can't give up now, we need you'. "Someone said to me that there was everyone there from teenagers right up to people who were in their 60s and 70s. "There was a great mix of people, and it just shows that the Wolfe Tones had brought every generation along as we went through our voyage across the years."

Who are The Young Wolfe Tones?
Irish rebel band The Wolfe Tones played what they say is their last ever performance at Limerick's Thomond Park on Sunday to a packed stadium. The trio, comprised of Brian Warfield, Tommy Byrne and Noel Nagle, were set to retire last year but announced two further gigs at the Limerick stadium for their Final Farewell, having enjoyed a particular resurgence in recent years. The band were formed in 1963 by Brian and Noel who were joined by their neighbour Liam Courtney. The following year, Brian's brother Derek came on board, and then Tommy joined the band, replacing Liam. The four-piece went on for almost 37 years before Derek left the band in 2001. Derek had been performing solo alongside his band duties, and continued with his solo career up until 2006. Following his departure, Brian, Tommy and Noel continued as a three-piece. The band is comprised of six members with Derek leading, along with Damaris Woods, Andreas Durkin, Eddie Kane, Paddy McGrandles and Brent Hopper. Pic: The Young Wolfe Tones/ Facebook They went by the name Brian Warfield, Tommy Byrne and Noel Nagle, formerly of the Wolfe Tones and released their song, You'll Never Beat the Irish along with the album Child of Destiny. Since Derek's departure from the band, his relationship with his brother has been frayed with the pair revealing in 2017 that they hadn't spoken since the split apart from an on air argument in 2009. This took place on Liveline when a discussion began on who owned the rights to the band name, with Brian at the time noting his brother was 'getting restless and wanted to do his own thing.' Last year, The Wolfe Tones celebrated their 60th anniversary. Meanwhile, while Derek pursued a solo career which boasted 11 albums he also formed The Young Wolfe Tones. The band is comprised of six members with Derek leading, along with Damaris Woods, Andreas Durkin, Eddie Kane, Paddy McGrandles and Brent Hopper. The band have a number of concerts coming up, with a certain crossover between The Wolfe Tones due to Warfield's connection to both. For more information go here.
