Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds Are Mud For It

You couldn’t blame some punters at the Isle of Wight Festival for packing up early.

A lot of them had 12-hour journeys in on Thursday and were fed up with the rain, wind and mud.

But the ones gone by yesterday afternoon missed the set of the weekend in Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

They also missed the sunshiiiine, as Noel’s brother Liam would call it.

Soon after walking on to the main stage Noel asked the crowd if they were having a good time.

After a cheer he added: “F*** off – that’s not what it said on the news.”

It’s hard for the audience, who were stood in drying mud, not to enjoy solo tracks like Everybody’s On The Run and If I Had A Gun.

And although he got boos for dedicating it to Manchester City fans, AKA... What A Life already feels like a festival favourite.

It got almost the same response as Oasis tracks Little By Little and Half The World Away.

Nothing could compare to the crowd reaction for Noel’s final track Don’t Look Back In Anger.

Everyone had their hands in the air for the classic and sang every word.

The mood was helped by Noel saying he was singing it for “any Italians in the crowd” just before the footie kicked off.

Interview With Noel Gallagher From The Isle Of Wight Festival

Noel Gallagher sits down in the Absolute Radio campervan for a chat with Sarah Champion backstage at the Isle of Wight Festival 2012.

Noel chats about being his own boss these days, being offered a spot on Strictly Come Dancing - and Mr Gallagher also takes a phonecall from Ian Wright...

Noel Gallagher: My Wife Got Me Hooked On Bird’s Fags

After revealing he snubbed an approach by Strictly Come Dancing, Noel Gallagher revealed he’s hooked on ‘bird’s’ fags after capitulating to wife Sarah’s demands.

The self-conscious 45-year-old told all when he turned up to the Isle of Wight Festival yesterday to play with his High Flying Birds.

He explained to Absolute Radio: ‘When I met her, she smoked Marlboro Lights and I smoked Benson & Hedges, and she made me change to Marlboro Lights because she reckons Bensons were bad for me. And then do you know what she did? She gave up smoking.

‘So now I smoke bird’s fags and she’s the picture of health.’

Noel’s girlie turn came after he confirmed he’d knocked back the chance to learn a little rumba.

‘I did get offered to do that,’ he confirmed. ‘Yeah, with the best will in the world, no thanks, you know?’

Meanwhile, despite owning a Godlike Genius award Gallagher taunted the other celebs who used speedboats and helicopters to get to the Isle. He said: ‘It looks so undignified when you turn up in a lifejacket. All windswept, like a dog that’s had its head out of the car window for 45 minutes. Just get on the ferry with the people.’

Flying high with his new project, Gallagher said an Oasis reunion was a long time off.

The If I Had A Gun singer said: ‘Funnily enough, I spoke to Gem yesterday. I’m just getting on with it, I’m so busy I don’t really have the chance. It’s been so successful so far.’

Noel Gallagher Loves Steven Gerrard's Wonder-Ball

Rock star and football fanatic Noel Gallagher reckons Steven Gerrard has proved once and for all that he should get the vote over Frank Lampard in midfield.

Football has always been divided about whether the two can play together for England.

But crocked Chelsea star Lampard, 34, was ruled out of Euro 2012, leaving Gerrard, 32, to run the show.

And Manchester City fan Gallagher (below) says he has done a superb job.

He thought the Liverpool skipper was man of the match against Ukraine and said: “It was the best I have ever seen him play for England. Isn’t it ironic, the debate about him and Lampard? Blah, blah, blah, blah. No more.

“It just goes to show when he is the main man, he plays like the main man.

“He has had a hand in all of ­England’s goals so far. He has been brilliant, dictating play, taking free-kicks, running the show.”

Gallagher believes the only way to beat Italy tonight is to bring back Andy Carroll – and continue to rely on a huge slice of luck.

He said: “For as long as I can remember we’ve never had such luck, now we seem to be getting it for once. I can see our game against Italy being goalless, a grind and us winning on penalties.

“I don’t think England can improve, they can only change the system and play Andy Carroll up front – go for the Stoke City approach.

“The quality is going to step up tenfold now we are playing Italy and, in Pirlo, they have arguably the best midfield player of the tournament.”

Gallagher compared the Ukraine victory to a “Scottish third division match”.

And he added: “Roy Hodgson has been playing like that all his career. But I still think we win will.”

Noel Gallagher Plays Peacemaker In Rocker Fight

British rocker Noel Gallagher played an unlikely peacemaker after defusing a fight between Reverend And The Makers star Jon Mcclure and his brother.

Gallagher, no stranger to physical and verbal spats with his brother and former Oasis bandmate Liam, invited MCClure and his sibling Chris to a wild party he threw on tour in 2009.

However, the night descended into debauchery, and Gallagher had to pull apart the MCClures after they almost came to blows.

MCClure tells Britain's The Sun, "It was the final gig and Noel said, 'This is mash-up (heavy partying) night. We're going to the moon. Book your tickets.'

"We were all off our nuts (drunk). My brother and I were squaring up to each other and Noel had to step in. He said, 'Ah, this reminds me of another couple of brothers,' then just walked off."

Oasis broke up in 2009 following an explosive bust-up backstage at a gig in France, and the pair has since become embroiled in a legal battle, with Liam suing Noel for libel.
