WOLFE Tones singer Brian Warfield has said he fully understands the pressures brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher are under to stop rows undermining the Oasis reunion. Brian, 78, formed the famous band with his sibling Derek, 81, in 1963, and the two brothers released records and toured the world together for 38 years before rows saw Derek leave the band in 2001 to form the rival Young Wolfe Tones. Brian told The Irish Sun on Sunday: “I’d be the last one to offer advice to Noel and Liam , given what happened with us.
But I know it’s difficult for brothers to stay in the one band. In fact, it’s near on impossible. “With two brothers, there can be a lot of baggage hanging over from childhood.
In the case of the Wolfe Tones , Derek is three years older than me. “He always wanted to be the boss. I’m sure it’s the same thing going on with Oasis .
” Speaking to this journalist back in 2008 about their split, Brian said: “There is more chance of a united Ireland than a united Wolfe Tones. It was just a case of, after 36 years together, I wasn’t getting on with Derek and he wasn’t getting on with me “It was just a case of, after 36 years together, I wasn’t getting on with Derek and he wasn’t getting on with me. “So the three of us who did get on decided to keep playing together and Derek went off to do his own thing.
” Derek told The Irish World: “I got on with my life when the band broke up. I thank God that I’ve had my health to create a second Wolf.
