Alan McGee Credits Model With Oasis Discovery

Music legend Alan McGee has sourced plenty of great bands during his years in the business including The Libertines and Primal Scream – but his greatest discovery owes itself to a certain female figure.

The Glasgow mogul – who founded the legendary Creation Records – was just a love-struck young man when he entered King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut on the city's St Vincent Street in May 1993.

Waiting to be set up with a model friend of his sisters, McGee took little note of the floppy haired Mancunian brothers raggedly setting up their instruments on the nearby stage.

However, a cruel twist of fate would result in McGee finding one of the greatest rock n’ roll bands in British music history.

Speaking to The Hour, McGee told the real story behind his discovery of Oasis and how he plans to cope with retirement from the industry he loves.

“I didn’t go looking for Oasis,” explained McGee. “I was actually chasing a model at the time but I can’t say who because she was my sister’s friend.

“The girl didn’t show up in the end but me and my sister stayed to watch this band, who turned out to be Oasis. So that’s actually why I was there.

“Most of my best signings have been to do with chasing women. It helps because girls usually know what’s good in music.”

Now retired from the cut-throat music industry, the man who discovered some of Britain’s biggest bands is now working behind a film documenting his days with Creation Records.

Aptly titled Upside Down, the movie tells the story behind one of music’s biggest and most chaotic movements and how Britpop would change the nation’s musical tastes for years to come.

Although McGee admits that the days of The Beatles and Oasis are long gone he still has high hopes that his home city can produce some more music greats – even without his legendary eye for talent.

“I like some Scottish new bands. I like Glasvegas obviously and I like Pete Macloud.

“There are three cities that are really important in UK for music. Probably the most important city is Manchester, but Liverpool and Glasgow are also important.

“I think it’s the fact that these cities are all cultural centres for Irish people and that celtic-ness, it just kinda works."

Liam Gallagher Has His Beady Eye On New Fans

Liam Gallagher is playing festivals this summer to attract new fans to Beady Eye. The band are playing several festival dates - including slots at Reading and Leeds and the Isle of Wight Festival - and the 'Four Letter Word' singer is keen to showcase his new music to people who might not necessarily be interested.

He said: "This is the name of the game, to f***ing get new fans. I mean, obviously all the Oasis fans jumped on board and got involved and all that and liked it. But the music is there for anyone. Beady Eye is for anyone." Liam - who formed his new group with the remaining members of Oasis after his brother Noel Gallagher quit in August 2009 - insists he is hungry to prove himself again to wide range of music fans.

He added to NME magazine: "Hopefully, there's going to be people out there that are getting a little bit more from Beady Eye than what they did from Oasis. There's not a day that goes by when you don't want to get up and f***ing mean something to people."

Liam Gallagher Mocks Noel At Beady Eye's Teenage Cancer Trust Show

Singer also exchanges words with a fan at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Liam Gallagher took a dig at his brother Noel during Beady Eye's Teenage Cancer Trust show in London last night (March 25).

The former Oasis frontman made a number of remarks about his former bandmate as he performed at the Royal Albert Hall.

"This is Beady Eye," he announced as he swaggered onstage. "This is not a Noel Gallagher concert."

Throughout the show Liam continued to take pot shots at his brother.

"We were going to sit down to sing the next song," he told the crowd before launching into 'Bring The Light'. "But apparently someone who played here last year stole all the stools. Apparently he's got a nice little collection going on and all."

Later he quipped: "Where's Noel when you need him, eh?"

Noel played two shows for the charity at the same venue last year. During one of those shows he took a pop at Liam over his Pretty Green clothing range.

Beady Eye played a similar set to that featured on their recent UK tour, showcasing their debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding'. They played 'WigWam' for the first time live.

Liam's name was often chanted by the crowd, but the singer wasn't happy with all the attention he received. He had an angry exchange with one fan after the crowd member seemingly threw something towards the stage.

"If you're going to throw something at me throw something hard," the singer sneered. "Who the fuck comes to a rock n' roll gig with a bit of lime, soft lad?"

Beady Eye played:

'Four Letter Word'
'Beatles And Stones'
'Millionaire'
'Two Of A Kind'
'For Anyone'
'The Roller'
'Wind Up Dream'
'Bring The Light'
'Standing On The Edge Of The Noise'
'Kill For A Dream'
'Three Ring Circus'
'The Beat Goes On'
'Man Of Misery'
'The Morning Sun'
'Wigwam'
'Sons Of The Stage'

The gig was part of the week-long Teenage Cancer Trust gig run. Biffy Clyro play earlier in the week and curator Roger Daltrey performed 'Tommy' in full.

Noel Gallagher 'Banging Out Tunes' In LA Studio

You Me At Six singer says his band are working in same studio as Gallagher.

Noel Gallagher is working on new material in Los Angeles, according to You Me At Six singer Josh Franceschi.

Last night (March 23) Franceschi wrote on Twitter.com/joshmeatsix that the ex-Oasis man was working in the same studio as his band.

"Can hear Noel from Oasis blasting his new tunes from the studio next door," he wrote. "Absolutely mental."

The Surrey quintet are currently recording their third album in the US city.

Last month Gallagher claimed that he hadn't started work on his solo album yet. His brother Liam, now fronting Beady Eye, said he reckoned that he had, though.

Also last November Miles Kane said he'd been working with Noel on his first post-Oasis solo album.

Liam Gallagher Is Teacup-Total

Liam Gallagher's rider requests have changed over the years.

It used to be Red Stripe and decent crisps. On the current Beady Eye tour frontman Liam is firmly on the wagon - so it's honey, a few lemons and some fine china all the way.

He takes his teacup to the Reading and Leeds festivals this summer. But he said: "At the moment we're all bang into the little gigs."

Of the bigger shows, he added: "When the time comes, I'll fit back into that dress."

Gerard Way Really Wants To See Beady Eye Live

My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way was devastated when he found out the schedule for the Reading and Leeds festival - because his band's headline slot means he will miss out on watching Beady Eye's highly-anticipated performance.

The Welcome to the Black Parade hitmakers are one of the bands topping the bill at the double-venue event this summer (Aug11), and they will play in the main arena while Liam Gallagher's new band will perform at the same time on a separate stage.

Way admits he's overjoyed to be headlining the festival, but regrets he won't be able to see the former Oasis rocker play.

He tells NME magazine, "I really wanna see (Beady Eye play). That's quite a bummer. But that happens a lot... I would definitely love to have gotten to see Beady Eye... I'm a huge fan of (Liam), a fan of his brother and of Oasis, so I think it'll be fine. I think it'll be good."
