Expenses Row Is Death Of Politics Says Noel Gallagher

Oasis co-creator Noel Gallagher has given his verdict on the MPs' expenses row and said it signals "the death of politics".

The guitarist and songwriter, who admits he is an avid Sky News viewer, spoke to us about the current state of politics.

When Labour won their landside victory in 1997, Tony Blair invited the two Gallagher brothers to a high profile reception at Downing Street.

But a lot has changed in the past decade and with Gordon Brown under increasing pressure from fellow Party members, it reminds Noel of another period in politics.

"It feels like the end of the Thatcher era," he told Sky News, "where the Cabinet ganged up and stabbed her in the back."

Over the past week eight Labour ministers have resigned and there have been reports of an email campaign by backbenchers.

They aretrying to get MPs to sign a letter asking the Prime Minister to stand down.

"I think he (Gordon Brown) is dogged enough to try and stick it out", said Noel.

"But if the momentum keeps on going the way it is, he won't be able to survive, because his party will want him out."

Noel though is very sure about the future of Labour: "They absolutely won't get in at the next General Election," he said confidently.

"I don't know anybody that will vote Labour. I'd be surprised if anybody votes at all after what has happened with this expenses row."

The days when Noel drank champagne with Tony Blair and other Labour MPs are now a distant memory.

He thinks Labour only has "themselves to blame" for what has happened with the MP's expenses scandal.

"They came to power and said they were going to be whiter than white and squeaky clean, and 12 years down the line they have been shown to be just like the rest."

"I think it's the death of politics and it's a shame."

Oasis are currently touring the UK and last week played their home city of Manchester.

The guitarist said he is not interested in talent shows like Britain's Got Talent but the Susan Boyle phenomenon has not passed him by.

Unlike the Scottish singer Noel's rise to fame was over a three year period and he is not fazed by the whole fame game.

"I like being famous," he said. "It can be a bit of a pain but you get free food in restaurants and people send you clothes".

Kasabian Pay Tribute To 'Iconic' Oasis

Band speak about their tour mates...

Kasabian singer Tom Meighan has paid tribute to Oasis, who the band are currently supporting on a UK tour.

Meighan told BBC Newsbeat the Manchester group were one of only a few remaining “iconic” bands.

“You've got to remember they were huge and they still are huge, they're massive,” he said.

“It's the enigma, its just Oasis, they're still here after 15 years.

Kasabian are the main support act on Oasis' UK tour, which began last week with three shows in Manchester.

After an opening night which was tarnished by sound problems, the band completed their run with two gigs on Saturday and Sunday.

Kasabian Want To Copy Oasis' Heaton Park Gigs

Leicester band reveal ambition after supporting Gallaghers

Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno has revealed he wants his band to one day play large hometown gigs in Leicester, after supporting Oasis at the three Manchester Heaton Park shows last week (June 4, 6 and 7).

Pizzorno and co played before the Manchester legends at all three of the shows, with the singer saying the experience had inspired the band to work towards playing similar headline shows of their own.

"It'd be amazing to do it in Leicester one day," he told BBC Newsbeat. "That city would never have seen anything like it."

Oasis had to abandon the Heaton Park stage at their first gig on Thursday due to a faulty generator.

They did, however, return to play a full set, then performed unhindered gigs on Saturday and Sunday.

Send Us Your Questions For Liam Gallagher

On Friday we will be meeting and interviewing Liam Gallagher a few hours before he takes to the stage at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in front of 60'000 Oasis fans.

I will also be getting to see the full Pretty Green collection, and have a close look at the clothes and the quality of the garments.

If you have any questions regarding the Pretty Green clothing range? Please send them to scyhodotcom@gmail.com and I will ask Liam the best ones.

Pretty Green is an up-front, straight talking, classic clothing range owned, founded and designed by Liam Gallagher. The clothing range, which is entirely 'limited edition', will include classic designs across footwear, denim, jackets, trench coats, parkas, t-shirts, knitwear, hats, scarves and accessories; all subject to Liam's final approval

Members of the Pretty Green community are now able to order from around the world from prettygreen.com all items will be limited availability and only available until September, so good to get in the order quick.

Delivery in the UK and international will be shipped from around 19th June.

All items come in bespoke packaging which is colour co-ordinated to the clothes you buy, as expected the clothes are really high quality, stuff that Liam would actually wear - Egyptian cotton and none of the rip off tees you'll be able to get outside the stadium shows....

When Oasis Do Something, They Do It In Style.

Whether that's Noel Gallagher swaggering into Downing Street in 1997, or Liam attacking Gordon Ramsey's "bobbins sweet potato" on the F-Word.

Everything is done with Mancunian class.

Almost two decades on they're still doing it - backstage at Heaton Park there's a football pitch, two sparkling Porches and a purpose built nightclub.

Just a day before - the first break on the tour, which culminates in three nights at Wembley Stadium in July - Liam Gallagher took friends and support band Kasabian for a country drive, in his helicopter.

"We had some dinner by a lake - a good chat, a good catch up, it was great," says guitarist Serge Pizzorno early in the afternoon.

"Seeing England from a helicopter is kind of strange as well, you get a real of sense of where you're from and the nation."

Saturday - the second of 3 nights at Heaton Park - is the tour's proper kick off following a faulty generator which forced the headliners offstage on the first night.

To make matters worse, The Enemy, slayed by food poisoning, pulled out all together.

"I was becoming intimately acquainted with my bathroom floor," admits lead singer Tom Clarke.

"It gave a night on the tiles a whole different meaning."

Sufficient confidence

Clear of mishaps, Saturday begins with a turn from newcomers Free Peace and Twisted Wheel, both showcasing sufficient confidence to warm the drizzle soaked crowd.

Back to full strength The Enemy are determined to make up for their personal false start.

It's an enviable arsenal of tunes the Coventry rockers have now, Away From Here, Had Enough and No Time For Tears sparking the first mass pogo-ing of the day.

Meanwhile, camp Kasabian is arguably in the fittest shape it's ever been.

With new single Fire debuting in the top 3 of the charts and new LP West Pauper Ryder Lunatic Asylum seeing them stake their claim on Oasis' popular rock crown, Tom Meighan and co are on devastating form.

Theirs is an almost faultless hour exercise in toned-rock - Shoot The Runner, LSF and opener Vlad The Impaler.

"It'd be amazing to do it in Leicester one day," says Serge beforehand. "That city would never have seen anything like it."

Don't bet against it.

Cruise-control

Oasis though remain untouchable.

Whilst the five-some rarely break a sweat during two hours of hits, their cruise-control is better than most other band's best efforts.

Liam, in a green anorak, is a statue of cool, as is Noel, dryly acknowledging the crowd.

Resigned to the fact the fans want the old stuff four songs are played off latest LP Dig Out Your Soul as they stack up the crowd pleasers.

Opener Rock 'N' Roll Star, Roll With It, The Masterplan, Morning Glory, Live Forever, Supersonic, Don't Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall are all greeted with mud splattered abandon.

As for the Gallaghers - it's not that there's a palpable atmosphere between Liam and Noel (according to reports their recent South American tour saw relations once again become strained) it's the lack of any atmosphere at all.

Still, the important thing is its 70,000 jubilant fans they're eye-balling and not each other.

Wrapping things up with an obvious homage (The Beatles' I Am The Walrus), a sodden Heaton Park doesn't leave just in fine voice - but without any voice at all.

Noel Gallagher Interview With North West News

Madonna Next After Oasis?

Mum was the word for at least one of the Gallagher brothers when Noel nipped home while back in Manchester for three stunning concerts at Heaton Park.

Noel and partner Sara MacDonald called to see mum Peggy at her home in Burnage on Saturday.

And the Oasis guitarist got a true Mancunian soaking as the rain poured down when he rushed from her house to his silver Mercedes.

Despite the rain Noel was still a happy man after the two concerts so far were hailed a huge success.

And traders who cashed in on the events are now hoping the council make the north Manchester venue a regular for gigs.

A huge clean-up operation was needed after expected audience of 210,000 poured into the park over the three nights.

But it was the smooth running of the shows and the lack of any major disorder which has left many wondering whether this could be the start of a new chapter in the park's colourful history.

Traders told the M.E.N. they want more after many saw their takings rocket.

And council bosses believe the extravaganza could make north Manchester an attractive proposition to big-name stars from all over the world.

Names such as Madonna and the Rolling Stones have already been mentioned as future performers.

And if rock legends The Stone Roses were ever to reform Heaton Park would be expected to be top the list of potential sites for an historic homecoming.

In front of the largest numbers at the park since Pope John Paul II's visit in 1982 the shows got off to an inconspicuous start.

On Thursday under clear skies the band had to leave the stage twice after a generator blew with Noel promising a refund for 'genuinely disappointed' fans.

But they made a triumphant return to play a blistering 24-song set to the joy of the thousands who had paid around £40 to catch a glimpse of their heroes.

Never one to shy away from controversy Liam had earlier launched a blistering attack on M.E.N. columnist Angela Epstein who had said the event should not take place.

Saturday's show was blighted by bad weather but most of the welly-wearing revellers were left delighted with the highly-charged performance.

Landlord of the Woodthorpe Hotel on nearby Bury Old Road, James Ballard, 55, described the event as 'absolutely marvellous'.

He said: "There's been no trouble whatsoever and I've not heard of any elsewhere. We weren't expecting this. I'd say 90 per cent of fans have thanked us for our hospitality. They've come from everywhere. Scotland, Ireland. We've nearly tripled the takings so I'm sure the brewery will be pleased with that.

"I'm wondering where we go from here now. I've heard Madonna in September. Personally I'd love to see Genesis. Why not?"

Aziz Rehman, 28, from Prestwich Wines, added: "The fans have been absolutely fantastic and we've had no trouble. I was worried but they've all behaved themselves. Our regular customers say they have been delighted with it. It's good to see so many people in Prestwich.

"I think they should do it again. I'd like to see Snoop Dog and Michael Jackson here."

Rhys Ifans Foot Break Takes The Peth

Bungling Rhys Ifans has broken his foot just four days before his band open for Oasis at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.

The Notting Hill actor is hobbling around on crutches after crocking himself in a footie kickabout with a gang of kids outside his rock group The Peth’s Cardiff studio.

Rhys, who fronts the band, will still play Friday’s gig but with his left foot in a huge RoboCop-style plastic boot brace.

He said: “It was a very un-rock ’n’ roll accident — I was playing football with kids and didn’t even have the ball. I broke a little but very important bone.”

He now has the same brace David Beckham wore after he broke his foot before the 2002 World Cup.

Liam Gallagher Off To A Flyer

Noel Gallagher christened Oasis’s mega-gig tour The Summer Of Bigness.

And they rounded off the storming opening shows at Manchester’s Heaton Park over the weekend with famous faces joining the madness.

Top model Agyness Deyn, Mani from The Stone Roses and actor Ralf Little bowed at the Oasis rock altar and went “mad fer” support acts Kasabian and THE Enemy too.

I bumped into Liam after Saturday’s show and he showed me his new range of Pretty Green threads.

The T-shirts come in a classy gift box and the jackets are awesome.

Liam is clearly intent on going up in the world.

He was helicoptered in for the gigs from his place in Cheshire — a flight that takes just ten minutes.

That’s how to travel like a true Rock ’N’ Roll Star . .

Review From Oasis In Heaton Park, Manchester Night Two

06-06-09 by Nina Finlay

Well, as promised the weather was a tad crap for the Heaton Park gig yesterday but the grey skies and drizzle didn’t dampen anyones spirits. As expected the place was strewn full of `Liam’ wannabes and worse…I won’t go any further than that, I’m sure you’re imaginations can piece the rest together.


Oasis arrived on stage after a tremendous warm up from Kasabian. The visuals were fantastic, a colourful combination providing an impressive back drop for our favourite Northern brothers. Liam, stance and stares at the ready, kicked the show off with `Rock and Roll’ star which saw the crowd erupt and the mood and energy of the 70,000 concert goers lift off and remain that way for the entirety of the hour and a half set. They played a plethora of songs including Masterplan, Lyla, Cigarettes & Alcohol and Wonderwall all receiving a spectacularly welcoming reception. Noel was his usual witty self between tracks at one point asking `did any of you lot come the other night and ask for your money back?` followed with `tight c*nts‘.

Given the problems that they incurred on the first night of the Manchester Heaton Park gigs I did worry that we would have some of the same, I needn‘t have worried although the wind was quite ferrocious at one point and did carry the sound from the speakers somewhat.

If you haven’t seen them live I’d strongly recommend you try and see them at an outdoor gig if you can, a big noise and big band like this can be stifled in an indoor venue. To sum it up top gig and top show provided by the Gallagher brothers once again, nice one lads.

Personal Journey Of 'Reverend And The Makers' Jon McClure

Joining Oasis as they roll into town this week to play one of the largest concerts ever staged in the North will be Reverend and the Makers. Liz Lamb chats to singer Jon McClure . . .

With 53,000 fans packed into a football stadium and the mighty Oasis headlining the sell-out date, this is one of the biggest gigs of Reverend and the Makers’ lives.

But frontman Jon McClure is showing no signs of nerves ahead of the concert at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on Wednesday.

“I can’t wait, I am absolutely up for it,” says the singer, who is busy sunning himself in his back garden in Sheffield.

“We’ve never done anything on this scale before, but bring it on.

“You have got to test yourself in different environments. I am quite confident, there’s no nerves. We’ve been to Sunderland loads before and played gigs there.

“People in places like Sunderland, they want to hear bands talking their language and we’re like that.”

Jon is a lover of Oasis’ music, having grown up listening to them, and occasionally hangs out with Noel Gallagher.

“I’m a big Oasis fan,” he says: “When I was 12 I was told to turn off the TV at 9pm but I remember staying up and The Word came on and Oasis were on there.

“It was 1994 and I just thought ‘Oh My God’. It was a bit of a life change. I thought they were brilliant.

“I know Noel a little bit. We’ve been out a couple of times and exchanged texts and he is a brilliant guy.

“He is inspiring. The thing with Noel is he won’t say anything about people in interviews that he wouldn’t say to their face in the pub. He’s just real and it’s just the same for me, as I am very like that myself.”

Noel Gallagher: "The Stadium Tour Is Going To Be Among The Best Gigs This Year"

Oasis guitarist and singer Noel Gallagher reckons the band’s stadium tour is going to be among the best gigs this year.

Commenting on the line up of Oasis, Kasabian, Reverends and The Enemy, he says: “These gigs are going to be easily the gigs of the year, if not the decade. They are gigs that go down in people’s memories.”

Oasis’ 2009 stadium tour broke all box office records, selling a staggering 500,000 tickets in a matter of hours. The organisers were forced to scramble to put additional nights on sale in both London and Manchester after the band’s two night runs at London’s Wembley Stadium and Manchester’s Heaton Park sold out in hours. Additionally their first ever trip to Sunderland’s City of Light Stadium sold out.

Oasis co-promoter Chris York of SJM Concerts said “This has to be the most tickets ever sold by an artist in the UK in one day.”

If you are a Kasabian fan but couldn’t get you hands on tickets for the Stadium of Light gig, the band will play Newcastle 02 Academy the night before, on Tuesday, June 9. The Leicester rockers will be showcasing songs from their new album, West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum. Tickets £22.50. Call 0191-260 2020

Noel Gallagher Set For Rocky Ride At North Concert

Some might say rock star Noel Gallagher is in for a stormy welcome when Oasis play in the North East on Wednesday after he slammed the club on a radio show.

Speaking on Russell Brand’s show on Talk Sport in April, the guitarist and songwriter said he wanted Newcastle to go down.

He also joked that “there is no greater sight than seeing fat Geordies crying on Match of the Day”.

United supporters yesterday said it would be interesting to gauge the reaction of any Newcastle fans present when Oasis play to a sell-out crowd at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on June 10.

It is quite a reverse from 1997 when Liam Gallagher wore a Newcastle shirt and gave constant score updates through an Oasis gig at Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena when United beat Barcelona 3-2 in one of the proudest nights in the club’s history.

The offending comments came in one of the first shows Russell Brand had appeared in after his ban over the Andrew Sachs scandal.

Noel said: “It would just be brilliant if they go down.

“I don’t think there’s a greater sight than seeing fat Geordies crying on Match of the Day.

“Topless Geordies crying. They should make it a sport in the Olympics: make a Geordie cry. And all that Geordie nation nonsense; the Geordie nation? What does that mean?”

After momentarily backtracking, saying “the people are all right”, Noel continued: “The club’s rubbish. The Shearer appointment is madness. I speak for a lot of football supporters when I say ‘I hope they go down’.”

Greg Tunney, a member of the Toon Ultras supporters group, said Gallagher could expect a hostile welcome.

“If he’s walking about on the street, people are not going to be welcoming him.

“Obviously, the exact welcome he gets will depend on how much people like him for his music. There are going to be a lot of people who he has upset though.

“I don’t know if people will have stopped buying their music but the fans who like the club more than Oasis are going to be annoyed by what he’s said.”

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Newcastle United Supporters’ Club said the Geordie people would be big enough to ignore the comments.

“My response first of all is that what he’s said shows him up for the ignoramus that he is.

“In terms of what kind of welcome he will get, people from Newcastle will rise above such childish comments.

“The comments should be treated with the contempt they deserve. He has shown a complete lack of understanding to be fair.

“He is probably doing it for a bit of publicity . . . he wants to get a reaction.”

Sunderland FC has spent thousands of pounds and is employing almost 1500 members of staff for the massive logistics exercise of hosting the Oasis gig.

The show is expected to pull in a crowd of 50,000.
