The Wolfe Tones say fans are emailing band begging them to reconsider 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." Brian Warfield of The Wolfe Tones performs at Electric Picnic Festival 2023 at Stradbally Estate on September 03, 2023 in Stradbally, Ireland (Image:)
Brian said the band received hundreds of emails from fans asking them to reconsider their retirement.
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."

Wolfe Tones make major Oasis Croke Park announcement
Wolfe Tones singer Brian Warfield wants to give Oasis a bottle of their whiskey – but poured ice on rumours he'll be a special guest at the band's Irish gigs next month. Liam and Noel Gallagher play Dublin's Croke Park on August 16 and 17. There had been whispers the Manchester rockers, who have strong Irish heritage, had invited The Wolfe Tones to join them on stage. But Brian, 79, told us: 'I heard nothing about it. I did say to MCD if there were any spare tickets going around, I'd like to go and meet the guys.' However, the Celtic Symphony hitmaker – who recently retired – said he plans to send the brothers a bottle of Wolfe Tones whiskey to celebrate their return back to Ireland.

Brian recalled how Gallaghers were spotted in the crowds of a Wolfe Tone concert back when they were much younger. He said: 'I saw them when they were at our concerts. They were only kids back then. 'The thing is, we were working very hard over the years. We never got a chance to go to other concerts. 'We would've liked to have gone here and there.' Oasis will be supported by ex-Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft and Cast in Croke Park. He is a long-time friend of the brothers, while Cast opened for Liam on his Definitely Maybe 30th-anniversary tour. Oasis last played in Ireland in 2009 when they headlined Slane Castle.
