Review: Beady Eye In Newport

Beatles and Stones shot at Newport Centre, Wales. For the 3-D effect you will need some Blue and Red anaglyph Glasses to view.

The last time Liam Gallagher swaggered his way onto a Welsh stage was at the spacious surrounds of The Millennium Stadium in June 2009.

Fast forward almost two years and the more vociferous half of the Gallagher brothers was back in Wales, in front of approximately 60,000 less people than witnessed what was probably the last appearance of Oasis in Wales.

Unsurprisingly, tickets for Beady Eye’s Spring UK tour sold out in hours, and the 2,000-capacity Newport Centre was fit to burst with the mad-for-it crowd ecstatically lapping up each song.

They were treated to a thorough run-through of Beady Eye’s debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding, delivered with style and panache by Gallagher and his immaculately turned-out gang.

We got the TNT-packed, one-foot-on-the-monitor opener Four-Letter Word, one of several leather-clad wig-outs that give Beady Eye’s set a bruising sonic edge.

However, it’s moments such as deft ’70s rocker Millionaire, blistering rock ‘n’ roll barnstormer Bring The Light, plaintive psych-folk lament Kill For A Dream and the dreamy headspace of The Beat Goes On that got the adrenaline pumping.

Okay, so there were no Oasis songs, but then what did you expect? There is evidently no wish here to re-enact the last lumpen days of their reign.

As the crashing final chords of Sons Of The Stage – an electrifying cover by early ’90s Manc should-have-beens World Of Twist – brings the set to an incendiary close, the Newport crowd is left to reflect on one question – Oasis? Who are Oasis

Noel Gallagher To Feature In A Movie Later This Year

The world premiere of Kevin Sampson’s new film Powder will take place in Liverpool as part of the Sound City festival.

The film, written by Liverpool author Kevin, was shot in Merseyside – at Alma de Cuba, Korova and Knowsley Hall – and at music festivals in Ibiza and the UK.

It stars Liam Boyle, who also appeared in Sampson’s first film Awaydays and Keith Allen’s son Alfie Allen.

Liam said: “We’re really looking forward to having the premiere in Liverpool. After filming so much of it here it made sense to have it here.

“I haven’t seen the final film yet – the first edit was more than three hours long, then I saw the two and a half hour cut, but the final film is just 100 minutes. I can’t wait to see it.”

The film centres around the music industry – and in particular the fictional band The Grams.

It was filmed at the V Festival, alongside some of the biggest names in the music industry.

The Grams – and their fictional rivals – were allowed to play on stage in between the main acts, with the crew planting their own flags and T-shirts among the crowds.

The security team even let the Powder cameras in their helicopter to get impressive overhead shots of the band playing. Real-life musicians were keen to help out too. The film features cameos from the Ting Tings, Lily Allen, The Script, The Wombats, Noel Gallagher, Johnny Marr and Brandon Flowers.

Powder will be screening for one night only at FACT, Seel Street, on Thursday May 19 before the film goes on general release in the autumn.

Places are limited, with a first-come first served free allocation for Liverpool Sound City delegate pass holders and a small number of tickets on sale to the general public, available from the FACT website, www.fact.co.uk.

Beady Eye's Second Album Coming Soon

Liam Gallagher has promised that Beady Eye won't be hanging around when it comes to releasing their second album.

The singer told the Irish Times that they wouldn't let promotion for their recent debut 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' run into 2012 and instead would get to work on its follow-up.

Comparing life in Beady Eye to his old Oasis reigime he said: "We're not going to put the ball down, sit around in a big house and go 'We're great'. We won't be booking into the studio for months and months on end."

He added: "We're not going to be rolling over this album into the next year. There will be an awesome second album coming soon. We're responsible for our every move. We're on our own label. We do all our own artwork and videos. It's not like, 'Oh, send that off to the visual arts person

Alan McGee Turns Down Creation Records Factual Drama

Former Creation Records owner Alan McGee turned down the chance to make a film drama about the label's history, he has revealed.

The British music label, which McGee founded in 1983, was home to bands like Oasis and Primal Scream and The Jesus and Mary Chain before folding in 1999.

He said he was approached by the BBC and Channel 4 about telling the story.

But speaking to BBC 5 live, McGee said that a straight dramatisation "reeked of miscalculation."

The 50-year-old added that Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh had agreed to write the screenplay and had suggested "morphing" McGee, Sex Pistol's manager Malcolm McLaren and former Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham into one character.

"That to me was a 10 out of 10 idea," McGee said on Thursday.

"But not for the BBC or Channel 4, they want a dramatisation of Creation Records straight, so yesterday me and Irvine turned it down.

"It was going to be called something like Beyond The Eruption."

The former manager, who is featured in Upside, Down - a new film documentary about Creation's history - added: "If we were going to do a literal Creation thing let's do it on one of two subjects.

"Either when we were out of our minds 88-94, or the whole Brit Pop political thing when Labour were asking me if I could get young Britain back to work and we were going to Downing Street.

"The rest of it is too much of a freak show."

Review: Beady Eye In Newcastle

Rock ‘n’ roll badboy Liam Gallagher came to Newcastle last night to play his first gig in the city with his new band.

The Mancunian returned with his newly-formed group Beady Eye for the first time since Oasis spectacularly split.

Unlike most new bands, this one already has a flock of loyal disciples, most of whom are still coming to terms with losing Britain’s biggest group.

Beady Eye are Oasis, but without the man who wrote the songs which made them so popular. That is, of course, Liam’s brother, Noel.

But looking around the o2 Academy minutes before Beady Eye took to the stage last night, it’s as if nothing has changed. Fans chanted Liam’s name, lager flew everywhere, and The Stone Roses blared from the speakers as excitement grew and the temperature rose.

Then the band walked out to hysteria, and Liam saluted the crowd with a peace sign, before saying: “Hello Newcastle, it’s been a long time.”

But one thing was notably missing, some chap called Noel.

The first song, Four Letter Word, which was introduced by Liam with a few of his own, set the tone from the off. The crowd fed off its raucous, relentless and abrasive sound as Liam dissolved straight back into his trademark pose, leaning into the microphone with his hands behind his back.

Wearing a khaki jacket, blue jeans and white trainers, Liam seemed to be the only person in the 2,000 capacity arena not sweating as the heat was hiked up with each song.

As they played tracks from their debut album – Different Gear, Still Speeding – Liam’s passion for the songs became clear, as he attempted to banish any memory of Oasis.

Liam’s status as one of rock’s most iconic frontmen is undeniable. But what’s equally undeniable is the crowd would have given anything to hear him belt out just one more Oasis classic alongside his brother. I know I did.

After a mix of rowdy tunes and majestic ballads, the highlight being Kill for a Dream, Liam calmly walked off before an impatient crowd beckoned him back.

As the band played their grand finale – an impressive cover of World of Twist’s Sons of the Stage – Liam paused for a moment, looked to the balconies and flapped his jacket to let some air in.

The heat in the place had even got to one of the coolest men in the world.

Liam Gallagher Is On Football Focus Again This Weekend

We've had plenty of comments and emails about the interview since Saturday - the vast majority of them being positive. Some asked why we would even want to speak to him but I think he's one of those people who you listen to even if you know what he says will make you angry.

He certainly plays up to the image of a rockstar but he was much wittier than I expected. You don't have to be called Sebastian (as he suggested in the interview) to be offended by some of his language but he has a good sense of humour and a sharp tongue.

Some people suggested I looked a little scared during the interview which I find a bizarre. I like interviewing people who make you work for the answers and a bit of confrontation goes a long way to making something watchable. I also maintain that there is nothing wrong with
the occasional tucked shirt! Having said that, I do take the point of the guy who tweeted me to say that if you're going to interview a style guru, with the hottest clothing line on the high street, you might want to iron your shirt!

Mark Woodward, the producer, did have to spend quite a bit of time editing out the choice language and there were some things Liam said - and did - that we couldn't put out even on a post-watershed version of Focus.

That said, I thought his opinions on City, Mancini, United, Rooney and football in general were well worth the airtime and, even if you're Gary Neville's biggest fan, his take on the former Manchester United defender brought a little smile to most faces.

Once the interview was over Liam had another dig at my shirt before saying he might bump into me at Wembley on Saturday. We didn't see each other at the Manchester derby but I'm sure he enjoyed himself.

Before we left I asked him for a picture for the blog. "Don't do that rock & roll face" I said "otherwise I'll look like the school prefect sitting next to the cool kid." "You do your face, I'll do mine" he replied. Sadly he did produce the rock & roll face leaving me to look like a slightly over-medicated buffoon.

Mr Gallagher features again on the show this week, with some rather interesting Premier League Predictions. He also has some style advice for the man he's talking on, so definitely worth a watch at our earlier time of 1145 BST.

Watch the interview from last week here.

Liam Gallagher Meets Inspirational Teenagers At Teenage Cancer Trust Unit

Liam Gallagher visited the Great North Children's Hospital, Teenage Cancer Trust Unit in Newcastle today, to meet with patients and staff.

Whilst there, Liam presented a cheque for £40K on behalf of his Pretty Green label. The charitable donation came from the sales of a limited edition t-shirt Liam designed earlier in the year.

Talking of his visit, Liam says:

"Those young people are inspirational, I hope that this makes a difference to them and that it has helped raise awareness of teenage cancer. Teenage Cancer Trust is Pretty Greens chosen charity and we will continue to support them "

Liam and the team from Pretty Green would like to thank everyone who purchased the Limited Edition Tambourine t-shirt and pin badge package.

Andy Bell (Beady Eye) also accompanied Liam on this visit..

Teenage Cancer Trust Nurses deliver new opportunities and excellent services for young people with cancer and their families.

Background to the Great Northern Children's Hospital:

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie officially opened Teenage Cancer Trust’s new state-of-the-art unit in Newcastle in May 2010. They were joined by The Who frontman Roger Daltrey CBE and local star Joe McElderry.

The unit is the result of a £1.7 million fundraising appeal and will provide care for 13 to 18 year olds with cancer from across the North East and Cumbria.

The new unit in Newcastle includes 10 inpatient beds and will provide a home from home for many young people and their families. Unlike ‘ordinary’ hospital wards, it has been designed specifically with teenagers in mind. It includes a recreational room, kitchen and dining area, a study, parents’ room and kitchen, a complementary therapy room and chill out zone plus access to media facilities such as the internet, TV and music.

Pretty Green would like to thank all of our followers and fans for helping make this donation possible.
