Emeli Sande Hits Back At Noel Gallagher

Next To Me' singer tweets picture of old granny sticking her middle finger up.

Emeli Sande has hit back at Noel Gallagher for saying her music is "for grannies".

In an interview with Shortlist, Gallagher singled out the multiple Brit-winner, adding that he doesn't get her music, and had a few words for Paloma Faith too. He said: "You look at the 'best' now. Paloma Faith? Do me a favour. Who’s fucking decided she’s a star? Emeli Sande? That is fucking music for grannies. I don’t get it."

The 'Next To Me' singer has now responded to the comment and made her feelings clear by tweeting "Thanks Noel", along with a picture of an old granny sticking her middle finger up.

Noel And Liam Invited To Gallagher Global Gathering

Liam and Noel Gallagher have been invited to take part in a record-breaking family gathering in Co Donegal.

Organisers of the second Gallagher Global Gathering hope the Oasis brothers, who famously fell out in 2009, will kiss and make up in time for their huge event this summer.

"We are extending a special invitation to Noel and Liam Gallagher," a spokesman for the Gallagher clan said.

"We hope they will be interested because of the songwriting and musical aspects but, also because it's a Gallagher family gathering."

The 10-day event (between September 6 and 15) will take place at Gortahork in west Donegal - the homeland of the Gallagher clan. It aims to bring together tens of thousands of Gallaghers in an effort to break the world record for the largest number of people with the same name in one place.

All Gallaghers and those with variants of the name; those with Gallagher in their family tree and their friends have been asked to descend on Donegal to celebrate their shared heritage with local relatives.

Six years ago, 14,088 Gallaghers congregated in Letterkenny, also in Co Donegal, and took the title from the Joneses of Wales. Confirmed attendees include songwriter Benny Gallagher - of Gallagher & Lyle fame - who started his career as a staff writer for The Beatles and also worked alongside Simon and Garfunkel.

He is to perform in concert and conduct a songwriters' workshop. Arranger, producer and multi-talented musician Frank Gallagher who has worked with big names such as Dame Shirley Bassey, Charlotte Church and Phil Coulter has also signed up.

A personal invitation is to be sent to both Liam and Noel Gallagher requesting their attendance. The Oasis frontmen are as famous for their bust-ups as they are for their hit songs and have hardly spoken since Oasis split in 2009.

Liam went on to form his own band the Beady Eye while Noel set up The High Flying Birds in 2011. Their mother, Peggy, is originally from Co Mayo.

On This Day In Oasis History...

On March 14th 1998 Oasis played at the San Carlos Apoquindo Stadium, below are a few videos from the show and a short interview with Noel Gallagher & Guigsy.

Noel Gallagher To Play With Ryan Adams, Paul Weller And More At The Teenage Cancer Trust Shows

Noel Gallagher’s Teenage Cancer Trust gigs start next week. He tells Hamish MacBain about booking Blur, Kasabian and Rizzle Kicks

For a man who sang No1 single The Importance Of Being Idle, Noel Gallagher hasn’t half been busy recently. As a two-year tour to promote his solo album was finishing up, he got a call from Roger Daltrey. The Who icon realised he’d be on tour during the 2013 Teenage Cancer Trust shows, which he usually curates, and unable to be “on the bloody cellphone for eight hours a day” sorting stuff out.

Fortunately Gallagher, who had guested with The Who at the first TCT show 12 years ago, returned with Oasis in 2002 and played some of his first ever solo shows in 2007, was the perfect replacement.

And so the 45-year-old has spent his time gathering old friends, enemies-turned-friends and bands his daughter likes for a special run of shows, starting on Tuesday. And it sounds as though he’s had fun doing it…

How has booking a week’s worth of gigs been for you? Stressful?

Well, I did most of the work last year, because I was out at festivals, so I tapped most of the bands up then. But to go and knock on dressing room doors of some of the biggest bands in the world and ask if could they possibly [do it], would they be noble enough – it brought out a side I don’t like.

What acts are we talking about?

I’d talk to Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons thinking, “I’ll just f*cking do the seven nights myself; what the f*ck am I asking these people for?” And I got let down a lot. Everybody says yes to your face. Everybody. And then the agent will call, and their management will call and then their PR will call and say, “Ah, they’re going to be in Australia at the time.” Really? Well they never said that to me. What’s interesting is all the working-class bands said yes straight off the bat, no f*cking inkling of when it was. The middle-class bands said yes and wriggled out of it. I dunno what that means, but it must mean something. It was an interesting summer. But I will say, if the people that blew me off but said they’ll do it next year actually do it, it might be the greatest event since Woodstock.

Who did you ask who isn’t doing it?

Symbolically we wanted to get Jake Bugg, because he’s a teenager. And for a teenager to be helping teenagers would have been a massively symbolic moment, I think. But he can’t do it because he’s on tour. Metallica: they’re another band who have promised to do it next year for the last couple of years, but we’ll get them eventually.

I know Lars: I call him from time to time and he texts me. He’s a f*cking dude. He’s a nutcase. I love him in Some Kind Of Monster and he’s just exactly like that, but he’s great. Of course, people always go “You and Lars? What the f*ck is all that about?” But I’m like, “Look man, he’s my f*cking mate, leave him alone.”

Speaking of mates, you’ve got Paul Weller and Kasabian on. That must have been straightforward.

I just called Serge and said “Look, I’m f*cking doing it, so you’re doing it.” They were first to confirm, actually. Paul had done it last year, but I thought it’s a bit rude not to ask him seeing as he’s my f*cking neighbour. And I thought to myself, a man who’s got twins, he needs to be out doing sh*t soon. So he’s got Palma Violets on, and I think he’s going to be coercing a few people [to get] up on stage with him. So it should be good.

Do you like the much-hyped Palma Violets?

Yeah, I do like them. I don’t dislike them, let’s put it that way. It’s all right listening to bands on iTunes or watching them on YouTube, but I can only make a decision when I see them live. But for next year, there’s a whole raft of new bands such as Temples or Tame Impala, who [won’t be able] to sell out the Albert Hall. So what we are going to try, in the week leading up to the Albert Hall [gigs], is take over a smaller venue, such as the 100 Club and let young bands do a week. Because I think if we bring it to a younger audience, it will be better for the charity in the long run.

This year, though, you have, er, Rizzle Kicks and Labrinth on.

Yes, and Rita Ora that night as well.

Is that your daughter’s influence?

Well, Damon [Albarn] had taken Rizzle Kicks on the African Express tour and he said, “They’re surprisingly good.” I don’t know anything about them or anything by them. But the promoters, because pop’s not my thing, they come in and say, “These bands are available.” And then I go to my daughter, “Out of these lot, who’s the best?” She’ll say “Rizzle Kicks” and then I’ll pick up the phone and say, “Rizzle Kicks.” That’s it, really.

Were there any nights that were particularly difficult to arrange?

The opening slot for Primal Scream was difficult, because the people that were available Primal Scream hate. Well, they pretty much f*cking hate everyone, and the people they like are either dead or unavailable. Someone came up with the bright idea of asking Echo And The Bunnymen and I was like, “No way are they going to do it.” But we asked Ian McCulloch and he said yes. And now, for me, that is the best night. Never mind me, Damon and Graham [Coxon].

You sharing the bill with half of Blur is what people are talking about most, though. You must have known that would be the case when you booked it?

The idea was to get tickets on sale before Christmas, when people aren’t skint. So we thought, “We need something that’s a proper jaw-dropping bill.” And then I thought, “Well, Blur have never done it, so I’ll ask them.” As luck would have it, I was on tour with Graham, so I asked him then. He said Blur had been put to bed for the time being, but he’d ask Damon. So I have Graham to thank for this. It was quite a moment when I got the call saying, “They’re definitely going to do it.” I wanted them to headline, with me going on [before them]. But I don’t think they were comfortable with that, so the night before the announcement we switched the billing. I don’t know what they’re going to do, actually. I was speaking to Damon at the Brits and he was a bit coy, but he said it’s going to be something “unique and special”. I just think it will be one of those nights where people can say they were there.

How was your night together at the Brits? You shared a table, didn’t you?

Yeah, we were both guests of War Child. We both got f*cking roaring drunk and told One Direction to f*ck off in unison, which was funny. It turns out that after 20 years of slagging each other off, we’re quite genial fellows. It’s incredible what age and fatherhood does to your head.

You were first photographed together at the Brits last year. But pictures of the two of you together still cause a bit of a stir, don’t they?

People go on about it, but when somebody comes over and says, “Can I take a picture?” I don’t particularly think of the consequences of it; I don’t really give a f*ck. We had people coming over to the table and going, “Ooh, fancy seeing you two together,” but I’m too old for all that now. We’ve gone through that; we’re out the other end of it. And you look round at the room of all the ‘bright lights’ of the British music industry and all the flavours of the month and the hot new sh*t of the moment, and you think, “We had something different.”

There was use of the word ‘boring’ in the context of the Brits this year.

I think the Brits has now reached a tipping point. Something needs to be done. It’s a sh*t thing for a middle-aged man to say – “Well, it’s not as good as it was in my day” – but, you know, I’m still switched on enough to think, “It was better.” The best album category in 1996 was The Verve, Oasis, Blur and Radiohead or something [it was actually Blur, Pulp, Radiohead and Paul Weller]. And you look at the best now. Paloma Faith? Do me a favour. Who’s f*cking decided she’s a star? Emeli Sande? That is f*cking music for grannies. I don’t get it. And then you have the other side of the coin: One Direction. Prancing up and down singing a Blondie song and getting an award for it. Nice lads though they might be, f*ck off. Which is exactly what we told them. It’s turning into the grand finale of The X Factor, which is exactly what Simon Cowell wants.

And here’s another thing: I must have been asked to write songs for people about 20 times. “Hey man, we should write some songs together.” F*cking write your own songs. I spent 46 years busting my arse to get here, slaving over a line in a song for a month. So no, I won’t f*cking write a song with you, you little prick. F*ck off! It just annoys me.

What about you, Damon and Graham, though? Might you do something together on the night you’re playing together?

We talked about it. I spoke with Graham about it. I talked with Damon about it at the Brits, but to be frank we were plastered and I forgot what was said. I think it was a case of, “We’ll just work it out on the night.” I’m easy. I can see us all on stage at some point, but if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. There’s plenty of sh*t for people get their teeth into.

You’ve played with most of the other acts at some stage. Will you be joining in on any of the other nights?

Weller’s asked me to get up. Actually, I’ll rephrase that: Weller’s told me I’m getting up. To be honest, nearly everybody’s asked me to go on with them. Ryan Adams is mithering for me to get up. I’ve got to introduce every band, every night. And no doubt there’ll be a guitar knocking around, so you never know. And on my night, as well as Damon and Graham, there’s Gruff Rhys from the Super Furry Animals, so hopefully there might be a bit of We Are The World at the end

What about the comedy night with Russell Brand? What’s this about him playing an answerphone message you left him at his shows?

That was after he brought the Olympics to a shocking close with his rendition of I Am The Walrus. “A junkie in a top hat, on a bus, murdering the Beatles – hmm.” The message went along those lines. But he’s been [playing it to the audience] on his world tour. His night is an improvised thing with Noel Fielding called ‘The Goth Detectives’. And me, Russell and Matt [Morgan, Brand’s writing partner] are doing a three-hour radio show on Xfm the Friday before it starts, which is just going to be music with me and Matt destroying Russell’s Hollywood persona in between.

How is Russell? We had him on our cover recently, posing as Jesus…

Yeah, all that’s becoming tedious now, isn’t it? Hare Krishna this, f*cking Jesus malarkey that. And all the yoga. He’s mithering me for all sorts of sh*t. I’m doing a TV show with him on Thursday night. He’s got an American TV show called Brand X – the ratings must be going through the floor, so they’ve asked me to do it live from London. But last time I saw him, he was looking good. He’s behaving like an Englishman in LA: in other words like a ludicrous buffoon.

Finally, there’s your own set. Will you be doing any new songs?

I might do one brand new one, and then I’m doing one or two solo ones I’ve never done before live. And a couple of Oasis tunes I’ve never done before. These nights at the Albert are special, so you’ve got to do something different. I did 11 gigs in London last year, all told, so I can’t do the same set again.

And then are you done for this year?

Yeah, I’m not doing anything for a while. It’s been nice rehearsing knowing there’s just one gig, rather than another year on the road. I’m not ready for that yet. It’ll probably be next year when I start doing sh*t again, I guess. To be perfectly honest, I’ve just ordered some beautiful garden furniture and I intend on sitting in it all summer.

Forget Bowie...Bonehead's Back

His return may not quite match the frenzy which greeted David Bowie’s comeback but 14 years after quitting Oasis, Bonehead, the band’s original guitarist, is to release his first album.

A cult figure who walked out of Oasis in 1999 at the height of the band’s Britpop success, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs abandoned a life of stadium gigs and tabloid infamy to spend more time with his family.

Now Arthurs, 47, will finally give fans a taste of the band Oasis might have become when he unveils his new band, Parlour Flames, who will release their self-titled debut album in May.

Arthurs, a plasterer who formed the band which became Oasis in the late 80s, shares writing credits with Manchester-based musician and poet Vinny Peculiar, in the new venture.

Their first single is called Manchester Rain and the album’s musical sophistication, featuring cellos, flute and flugelhorn, may surprise those who assumed that Noel Gallagher was the song-writing genius behind Oasis.

The single is influenced by the Mamas & Papas classic California Dreaming. In Bonehead’s version his drizzly hometown is where “all the fields are brown and the buildings are grey”.

Bonehead said he quit Oasis because being in the band was no longer fun and he wanted to see more of his young children.

“We were renting out Christian Dior's mansion in the south of France. Liam was on a drinking ban and I wasn't helping by not sticking to it,” said the guitarist.

After leaving Oasis, Bonehead set up a recording studio and presented a radio show on BBC Manchester.

Bonehead was replaced by Gem Archer in Oasis and has indicated that he would be willing to rejoin the band, which split in 2009, for a one-off reunion concert.

The rhythm guitarist, who also plays piano, once said his favourite Oasis song to play was Columbia because it consisted of just three chords.

Immortalised in one of the band's B-sides, Bonehead's Bank Holiday, the guitarist got his nickname years before he joined the band because of his thinning hair.

Noel Gallagher Talks Past, Present And Future

Let’s get this out of the way early... Oasis aren’t reforming any time soon. And while we’re at it, Noel Gallagher’s suitably-named High Flying Birds isn’t even a band, let alone ‘the new Oasis’.

“It’s not a band, it’s never been a band. It never will be a band,” says the Mancunian as bluntly as we’ve come to expect of one of rock’s straight talkers.

“This is the name of my act. The guys who I am on stage with, most of them didn’t play on the record. “None of them play on the next record. We’re a band when we’re on stage.

“Apart from the guitarist, the other three lads I’ve known for a long time, but it’s not a band. No, no.”

It was just over three and a half years ago that chief songwriter Noel walked out on Britrock giants Oasis, claiming he couldn’t work with frontman and younger brother Liam any longer.

Even now, there’s still speculation over a reunion, despite Liam and the other former Oasis band members forming their own band ‘Beady Eye’.

Noel’s fairly clear about his thoughts on the idea of returning to the fold. He says: “I’d been in a band, which was more democratic than people make out, for 18 years. I had enough of that.

“I miss that kind of camaraderie in the dressing room afterwards, drinking until five in the morning. But the band dynamic... I don’t miss that.

“It’s like, the band thing you were in business class and this is first class now.

“I get to do what I want at my own pace and I wouldn’t go back to business class for all the money in the world, because you’ve got to go back to making compromises and I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with doing that now.

“I really miss playing all those great songs to stadiums. That’s not me saying I want to go back to doing it, it just makes me want to write more songs like that. I probably never will go back but I’ve got the memories of doing it. Some people never do it.”

“I’m glad I did it (Oasis), but I’m also glad that I’m here doing what I’m doing now because this is different.

“It’s not as big and exciting, because bands are always more exciting than solo artists. And it doesn’t generate that kind of tribal thing that Oasis had.

“It’s like Oasis was a sports car, one of those supercars Jeremy Clarkson’s always driving, and this is a Bentley.

“They’re great cars, but they’re different. I don’t live my life planning for what I’m going to be doing years from now. “That’s it. I don’t even think about it. Like I say, I wouldn’t go back to a band dynamic because it wouldn’t suit me.”

Although he is planning to play Oasis songs as well as material from his solo debut ‘Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ during the Live@Atlantis gig tomorrow night, the 45-year-old admits the break-up was tough to deal with.

He’s not keen to re-open Oasis wounds - he’s gone on record as saying he regrets walking out the day the band were due to play one of their final tour shows in Paris. And he explains: “Every time I went to public things like awards, I didn’t stop to speak to journalists because all they were going to ask was ‘what are you up to?’

“So I thought: ‘Just don’t say anything. Give Liam and Beady Eye the respect they deserve because all they’re going to try and get me to do is slag them off, so it’s best if I don’t say anything’.”

That attitude might come as a surprise to some, especially those who may have followed the Gallaghers in their younger years, when they were both quick to talk in negative terms about their rivals - especially Blur - and other bands.

“I’m not really that competitive with anybody to be honest, not any more,” says the ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ writer. “I was when I was younger, which is understandable. But once you’ve been to the top of the mountain... I’ve seen the view, I do things for me now.

“I’m quite confident in what I can do. People are always going to be interested in what I do. It’s up to me to make it interesting for them. I don’t live to work.

“Some artists, they’re forever in the studio. I do what I do once every two or three years; that’s when it suits me.

“I work to live. I do this job so I can have a great life when I have time off. I’m not really one that has to be creating all the time.”

James Blunt Hits Back At Noel Gallagher's Jibe

James Blunt has hit back at the Noel Gallagher after he confessed he sold his luxury home on the Spanish party island of Ibiza when James moved nearby.

In a post on Twitter, Blunt writes, "Ibiza's reputation seemed to improve dramatically the moment Noel Gallagher left."

Muse Cite Oasis' 'Live Forever' In Reponse To Noel Gallagher's Jibe

Drummer Dom says he's switching to real ones after "Noel's apparent U-turn"

Muse have cited Oasis' track 'Live Forever' in response to Noel Gallagher's jibe at drummer Dom Howard for smoking electronic cigarettes at the Brits.

"Dom took Noel's lyrics 'I want to live I don't want to die', 'maybe I just want to breath' and 'you and I are gonna live forever' literally,” singer Matt Bellamy tweeted. "He's switching to real cigarettes based on Noel's apparent U-turn."

Gallagher recently said the Muse drummer was symbolic of an "instantly forgettable" Brit Awards night last month and the blandness of the music industry in general. "There are no characters left in the music business," he said. "When we first started going there was a healthy percentage of people, and we were all dirt-kickers from council estates, and we all couldn’t believe our luck that we were at the Brits. You go in now and everybody is a careerist. It’s very corporate, and you know what I’ve actually seen people doing at the Brits? Eating. I saw the drummer from Muse smoking an electronic cigarette. A cigarette with a battery in. I had to say to him: ‘Really? Really? Is that where you are at? Do me a favour, mate, either have a proper one outside, or don’t have one.’ It lit up green when he had a drag of it. Nonsense. He said that immortal line – ‘Oh you know how it is, mate’. And I said ‘I’m sorry, mate, I actually don’t.’"

Beady Eye Debut New Single At London Club Night

Liam Gallagher aired a brand new Beady Eye track from the band's forthcoming album at London club night This Feeling, which takes place at the Queen Of Hoxton pub.

Gallagher went to the club to see his Beady Eye bandmate, guitarist Andy Bell, DJing, and gave Bell the green light to play an unnamed track thought to be the band's next single.

“Liam made everyone’s night by shaking every hand in the venue and was on blistering form," said This Feeling organiser Mikey Jonns. "When he gave Andy and [Bell's DJ partner] Arveene the nod to play the new tune the place erupted!”

Tom Rowlett of the band Dexters heard the track. He said, "I was pretty fucked so memory a bit hazy, but it had a big brass section and Liam's vocals sounded massive, proper in-your-face psychedelic rock'n'roll. Sounding fuckin' massive, man, the whole place went off when it came on! Liam was amazing. They always say don't meet your heroes but he was brilliant – he pulled us into his VIP area, we had a few beers with him, he was buzzing off the new LP and so are we now!"

Former Kasabian guitarist Jay Mehler (pictured below), who has recently taken over as Beady Eye's bassist, was also in attendance. Mehler was drafted in following the departure of Jeff Wootton, who has left to go solo.

Bell and Arveene will be DJing at This Feeling Manchester at FAC251 on March 23, with The Sundowners playing live.

Beady Eye Enjoy Tear-Up At This Feeling

Liam Gallagher is a Jekyll and Hyde character – when he’s good, he’s very, very good – and you know the rest.

On Saturday night he was better than good, giving a masterclass in what a rock ’n’ roll frontman should be up to at the weekend.

The Beady Eye star and his bandmates enjoyed a tear-up at This Feeling – the best club night for guitar music in the country.

Liam posed for pictures, spent time with the new bands and was the last man to leave the Queen of Hoxton in East London.

As a treat for the punters who queued to get in he gave guitarist Andy Bell the green light to drop the band’s new single during his DJ set.

From what I hear it raised the roof – promising big things from their forthcoming second album.

The rockers also welcomed a new recruit after some Sky Sports-style transfer day action.

Kasabian guitarist Jay Mehler is taking over bass duties from Jeff Wooton who has gone solo.

With the Leicester lads in album writing mode, they shook hands and wished Jay – above with his girlfriend Lee who is Ringo Star’s daughter – the best of luck for the future.

Mike Jonns, who runs This Feeling, said: “Liam made everyone’s night by shaking every hand in the venue.”

Guitarist Andy and DJ partner Arveene will play This Feeling on March 23 at FAC251 in Manchester.

You never know which rock stars will show up on the guest list...

Noel Gallagher To Play Songs He's Never Played Before At Teenage Cancer Trust Concert

Noel Gallagher is set to play a brand new song and a number of Oasis songs he's never played before at his Teenage Cancer Trust concert that takes place at the Royal Albert Hall later this month.

Speaking to Sky Sports 'Fantasy Football Club' about playing new songs at the annual event he said.

"I might do one new song, I'm going to be doing songs I have never done before, but that's not to say they are new songs. I haven't quite decided what I'm going to do yet,  I'm not doing the same thing as I done, I did eleven gigs in London last year so I cant really get away with the same set.

He also spoke about collaborating with Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon at the event.

The former Oasis man said "Damon and Graham are going on before me doing something, they told me what they are doing the other night but I cant remember what they said. But it's special though, unique".

When asked about collaborating with the pair on stage he said "We spoke about it the other night at the Brits, but I cant remember what we decided we were going to do, cause Champagne was involved".

Listen To Andy Bell's Playlist For Q

Ride, Oasis and now Beady Eye main man Andy Bell (foreground) is celebrating getting out of the studio by staging a mini DJ tour. The guitarist will be behind the decks - along with fellow DJ Arveene - at the This Feeling club night at London's Queen Of Hoxton this Saturday (9 March), before packing up his records and playing the night's date at Manchester's FAC251 on 23 March.

As a little preview of what he plans to play, he's compiled this exclusive Playlist just for Q.
