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.

He added: 'I was going to bring them some Wolfe Tone whiskey as a little gift.'
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.
