Stand By Me: Noel Gallagher Hugged In Street By Bedraggled Fan

He may be used to spending time with his famously scruffy little brother Liam but this new admirer was enough to make even Noel Gallagher look uncomfortable.

The Oasis frontman looked taken aback as he was accosted by an enthusiastic fan for a late night embrace.

Noel was caught off guard as the bearded and bedraggled passer-by threw his arms around the star as he emerged from a nightclub.

The fan, clad in a dirt covered camouflage jacket and jogging bottoms, collared the Mancunian singer as he came out of London's Groucho Club on Friday night.

Noel looked uncertain at first before warming to the encounter and the pair parted smiling as he joked with friends.

The superstar had earlier performed new Oasis single Falling Down during a special live version of Top Of The Pops as part of Comic Relief's Red Nose Day.

The band were joined on the show by fellow guests U2 and Franz Ferdinand.

Welsh legend Tom Jones also joined the line-up to sing Comic Relief single (Barry) Islands in the Stream with Rob Brydon and Ruth Jones from hit comedy Gavin and Stacey.

Noel's hug ended a busy day which including a recording session for Radio One's Live Lounge.

Oasis, who released seventh album Dig Out Your Soul last year, are preparing to embark on a tour of Asia, South Africa and South America later this month before staging three homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park in June.

In August they will headline the V Festival.

Noel Gallagher 'turns down' Jay-Z

Noel Gallagher has told Radio 1 he turned down a collaboration with Jay-Z.

Speaking to Jo Whiley on Friday morning, the Oasis guitarist explained that he told the hip-hop star, "I'm afraid I'm busy".

However, Gallagher, well known for his humour, didn't clarify whether he was telling the truth about Jay-Z's offer of a collaboration.

The guitarist was an outspoken critic of the rapper headlining Glastonbury last year.

Jay-Z then mimed to Oasis' Wonderwall and played a montage of clips of Gallagher's comments at the start of his festival set.

During the interview, Gallagher also revealed that he and his girlfriend Sarah MacDonald are devoted fans of Coronation Street.

"Me and Sarah watch Coronation Street religiously," he said. "It's such an institution, that programme - why they've never asked me to be in it is really one of the scandals of our age.

"I could just have a walk-on part, a tiny little bit in Coronation Street would be brilliant."

Gallagher also said he'd be keen to live in Los Angeles, but wouldn't want his children to pick up the accent.

"LA, I've kind of grown to love it, and I never thought I'd say that," he explained. "I'd probably love to get a house in between Madonna and Robbie Williams, it'd be brilliant.

"I'm not sure I could ever actually live out there, I don't think it'd be fair on the kids. I'm not gonna have a child with an American accent, calling me 'pop'."

Oasis Honoured With Bus Tour Exploring History Of Noel And Liam Gallagher's Band

Oasis have been honoured with a music tour exploring the history of the Manchester band formed by Noel and Liam Gallagher.

For £10-a-head, fans can be guided around landmarks in the life of Burnage's most famous sons.

Sights on the two-and-a-half-hour tour include where the brothers went to school, where they first rehearsed together as a band and the record shop where they bought singles from.

The bus tour was the idea of Inspiral Carpets drummer Craig Gill who already runs a series of Manchester Music bus and walking tours alongside music expert Phill Gatenby revealing famous locations in the history of bands including Joy Division and The Smiths.

Mr Gill already knows Noel from the days he was just a budding musician who ended up becoming a roadie for the Inspirals after failing to win a place as the band's singer.

The band, originally called The Rain, even re-named themselves Oasis after seeing the name on a poster of Inspiral Carpets' tour venues.

Mr Gill said: "I first met Noel when he came up to me in the Hacienda and told me he was a fan of the Inspirals and gave me a cassette of him playing acoustic guitar. He was still working for the gas board back then.

"When our singer left in 1988, we asked him to come for an audition but we were after something really specific, so to break it gently to him we asked him to come and be our roadie, but he became more or less the sixth member of the band. But then he joined up with his brother and formed Oasis."

The tour will launch on June 6 ahead of the band's huge Heaton Park gigs, but is available for private bookings before then.

The tour includes perhaps the most famous fan landmark - Sifters Record Shop in Didsbury - where the lads used to buy singles, and credited in Oasis's 1994 song Shakermaker with: "Mister Sifter sold me songs, When I was just 16."

Noel Gallagher To Join The Cast Of Coranation Street?

Noel Gallagher: 'I want to join the cast of 'Coronation Street''

The Oasis man reveals he is an avid viewer

Noel Gallagher has issued a plea to the writers of long-running ITV soap 'Coronation Street' to give him a part in the programme.

Gallagher revealed that he and girlfriend Sara MacDonald watch the show "religiously", although he doesn't have a particular favourite character.

"They are all brilliant. It's such an institution that programme, I love it. Why they've never asked me to be in it is really one of the scandals of our age," Gallagher joked during an interview with Jo Whiley on BBC Radio 1 today (March 13).

The guitarist then went on to reveal his joy at finding out one character - Tina McIntyre - allegedly comes from his hometown, Burnage.

"You know the girl who has just split up with Martin? Erm, Tina? Her character comes from Burnage. That's the first time it's ever been mentioned on 'Coronation Street'! I did a little lap around the coffee table.

"If Martin Platt is gonna get bumped off, please let it be me".

However, Gallagher's knowledge of the programme appeared to let him down - Martin Platt left 'Coronation Street' in 2005. Seasoned viewers will no doubt realise that the Oasis man was probably talking about Martin's son David.

Oasis Songwriter Teams Up With Focusrite And Gareth Johnson To Record And Mix Live Sound For Teenage Cancer Trust

Gareth Johnson is no stranger to recording live music. For years now he’s been drafted in for live mixing duties for the likes of Kasabian, The Who, Kaiser Chiefs and Duffy. Now he’s adding Noel Gallagher to a CV that’s littered with A-listers from the cream of major record labels and a stack of independents too. For the last four years Gareth has also been involved with the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) gigs, an annual outing for the charity that sees them pack the Royal Albert Hall (RAH) for a week of stellar performances from some of the biggest stars of the day.

As a part of raising awareness for the week-long festival, slated to kick off March 24th, Gareth has been drafted in to capture the sound of rock‘n’roll once again.

To coincide with this year’s concerts, Noel Gallagher is releasing the recordings of his performance at TCT RAH in 2007. The Oasis singer and songwriter performed a selection of Oasis’ greatest songs, as well as some of his favourite tracks by other artists, including There Is A Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths and Butterfly Collector with Paul Weller.

The new live disc, The Dreams We Have As Children, will be released digitally but is also available as an exclusive covermounted 11-track CD with The Sunday Times this weekend. (Head to www.timesonline.co.uk for exclusive daily downloads.)

Over the years Gareth has become a tour-de-force on the live circuit, assembling a rig that he can rely on to get the best results – the artists he’s recording are global superstars, so there can be no compromise and no second takes.

“To capture the performance we use Focusrite Octopre preamps. I chose them because they’re reliable and neutral enough to leave scope for a wide range of mix options.”

“Then for mixdown, I need to be able to instantly recall settings on complex mixes with high track counts, which is where Focusrite’s Liquid Mix comes into its own. Working with racks of traditional outboard on projects like this would be a massive pain, but with Liquid Mix it’s just not an issue.”

“Basically Liquid Mix has revolutionised the mix process by enabling me to introduce some great tones and colour into my mixes. No patchbays, no dodgy cables – just a virtual rack stocked full of the finest outboard known to man!”

Using Liquid Mix also means I can keep costs to an absolute minimum, which is essential when working with the TCT. So the whole rig consists of Focusrite Octopres at the front end, then into the Macbook Pro (and Logic) before bringing in the Liquid Mix. Finally I run the audio through an external 16 channel summing box before taking a stereo mix back into the computer. Of course good monitoring is always important, and for this I use my trusted KRKs.

“The Liquid Mix is a real solution for a very real problem. Yes, of course I want bottomless pockets to buy loads of great outboard for my studio, but that’s just not going to happen. I can, however, afford the Liquid Mix, which is much more convenient and packs just as much of a punch. Ultimately, what we have here is a revolutionary product.”

“Dynamic convolution is a great asset in the studio. I own a few of the units that have been emulated on Liquid Mix, and while it’s nice to look at a rack full of expensive outboard gear, in the context of a large multi-track mix you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the emulation and the real thing.”

“Liquid Mix is a great way to get character, colour and tone into your mix, and really useful for getting elements to jump out in the mix. I used API 550b emulations on the guitars, I love the 1176 on the vocal, while for the strings I opted for the Massive Passive emulation. Then I used the SSL G series comp to glue the mix together. And the results? Well, they’re just awesome.”

Exclusive Oasis 12" Vinyl Remix Release

Oasis have released a new EP including remix and demo versions of their critically acclaimed song "Falling Down" as well as a new b-side rarity entitled "Those Swollen Hand Blues".

"Falling Down" features Noel Gallagher on vocals and is taken from Oasis' 7th studio album "Dig Out Your Soul" which entered at number one in the UK and top 5 in the US upon it's release last October. The EP will be available digitally on March 10. See below for track listing.

To coincide with Indie Record Store Day on April 18, Oasis will release an exclusive "Falling Down" 12" vinyl remix which includes remixes by Amorphous Androgynous. Track listing below.

Noel Gallagher on the "Falling Down" remix: "There's gonna be a very special release coming your way soon. Remember that Amorphous Androgynous lot I was telling you about? Well, they've done a 'Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble' mix of 'Falling Down.' It's 22 mins long. I'll repeat that, TWENTY-TWO MINUTES LONG!! I fully expect 50% of you not to have the attention span to deal with something like that but the rest of you, I hope, will be blown away. It's a staggering piece of music. Monumental even. All superlatives will apply."

The video for "Falling Down" was directed by Wiz with whom the band has worked in the past.

The band travel to Japan & South East Asia in March and will play their first show in South Africa in April. They tour Latin America in May, then return to play the UK stadium supergigs in the summer which saw phenomenal demand for tickets when they went on sale last year with over half a million being sold in a few hours.

Noel Gallagher: ‘The Planet? I Just Don't Give A F***’

Noel Gallagher upset pal Chris Martin when he vetoed the Coldplay singer's attempts to get him to go green.

The singer said he "genuinely didn't give a f***" when the star quizzed him on environmental issues over dinner.

In his typically outspoken style, Noel said: "I remember being out with Chris one night and he said: 'Why do you think it's cool not to care?' and I said, 'Well I don't think it's cool, I don't think I'm being cool.'

"I actually couldn't give a f*** about what's going on outside my family: me, my missus, my two kids and my Mam, and her parents... that's it, for me.

"Other than that, it's not my problem, but that's not to say you shouldn't care about it!

"You know each to their own and I'm glad there's people like that. But I just like to look after my own. I genuinely don't give a f***"

In the interview with Talksport magazine, Noel was also questioned on James Blunt's view that flying is bad for the environment.

He added: "The thought of James Blunt gives me a migraine. James Blunt is bad for the environment that surrounds this part of my f***ing head here."

Good lad.

Oasis In Taipei? Definitely Maybe

After being banned in China, Oasis will perform in Taipei on Friday, April 3, sources in the concert-promotion and music industries said.

The concert was originally to be held at Banciao Stadium in Taipei County (台北縣立板橋體育場) but may now be held at the Taipei World Trade Center (TWTC) Nangang Exhibition Hall. Details have not been finalized because the band is still negotiating with promoters, said the sources, who had not received permission to speak with the media.

Information regarding the Taipei concert that was deleted last week from www.ticket.com.tw and a blog run by Sony can be found using Google’s cache function. Oasis’ MySpace page was updated yesterday to include dates in Seoul and Singapore, but not Taipei.

According to a statement on the band’s MySpace page, the Brit-pop supergroup was to play Beijing on April 3 and Shanghai on April 5.

“[R]epresentatives from the Chinese government have revoked the performance licenses already issued for the band and ordered their shows in both Beijing and Shanghai to be immediately canceled,” the statement reads.

“The Chinese authorities’ action in canceling these shows marks a reversal of their decision regarding the band which has left both Oasis and the promoters bewildered.”

Oasis performed at a Free Tibet concert in 1997. Footage on YouTube shows Noel Gallagher singing Wonderwall in front of a Tibetan flag.

Last March, China’s Ministry of Culture said it would tighten regulations on foreign artists after Bjork shouted “Tibet, Tibet!” during a concert in Shanghai. This week marked the 50th anniversary of the failed 1959 Tibetan uprising against Chinese occupation.
