In Depth Interview With Noel Gallagher To Be Broadcast Later Today

Noel Gallagher opens up to Gay Byrne about his brother, his estranged father, and his drug years on an episode of The Meaning of Life Later today.

The former Oasis man who is now enjoying success with his new band High Flying Birds, tells Byrne about the things he believes in, the things he doesn't and the thoughts that make him forget his own lyrics on stage.

In the hour-long interview which took place in Dublin's Merrion Hotel last July, Noel talks about his upbringing in inner-city Manchester and the night his Mayo-born mother Peggy took Noel and his brothers Liam and Paul and fled their father Tommy.

Gay talks to Noel on The Meaning of Life later today at 10.30pm on RTÉ One (IRELAND ONLY).

I will see if I can find any links to watch live, if I do I will post them later today.

Gay Byrne Admits He Likes Noel Gallagher But 'Oasis Not My Bag'

He is known as a lifelong jazz fan -- but veteran broadcaster Gay Byrne (78) found himself listening to albums by Oasis recently before a major interview with Noel Gallagher.

"I already knew about them. Oasis wouldn't be my bag to be honest with you, but I didn't find it objectionable and Noel was a very likable fellow," Byrne told the Irish Independent.

Once again it was Gallagher's mother, lifelong Gay Byrne fan Peggy Gallagher, who persuaded her son to record an interview with the broadcaster for a forthcoming episode of his RTE series 'The Meaning Of Life'.

"I have never met Peggy but she seems to hold me in high esteem. When Noel came on 'The Late Late Show' in 1996, it was on Peggy's orders, and I'm sure she had some hand in him doing this recent interview," Byrne said.

Among the subjects discussed was Noel Gallagher's estranged father, Tommy.

"He spoke to me about the impact his father had on his life. It seems to be he wrote his father out of life early on. You are finished, gone, and no longer relevant. Sort of 'goodbye, thanks, it's over'," added Byrne.

Another troubled relationship Gallagher spoke about at the hour-long interview given earlier this month in Dublin's Merrion Hotel, was with his brother Liam. Their final row prompted the end of million-selling rock band Oasis.

"Will Oasis get back together? I'd say it's unlikely," the former 'Late Late' host said.
