Noel Gallagher On Playing At Croke Park In 1983 And More

Noel Gallagher will play in Croke Park tonight as support to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but it will not be the first time he has played the venue.

Earlier today Gallagher recalled the time as a 16-year-old schoolboy he played a match in Croke Park in 1983 against Kilmacud Crokes.

The Gallagher boys were involved in the Oisín GAA club in Manchester as youngsters and took the field as under-age Lancashire champions.

Gallagher’s memories of the match are vague except that he scored a point and his team got “leathered”. It was his first visit to Dublin.

“I enjoyed it at the time I’ve got to say,” he said, “I was still at school then. Quite quickly after school I went smoking and drinking. Birds and drugs take over. Playing football goes out the window.”

“I got as far as I could take it,” he said of his short career in Gaelic football. “I’m not an athlete. Too much hard graft goes into that.”

While in Dublin, members of the Oisín club stayed in the homes of players from the club. By coincidence Gallagher met the person who put him up in Dublin while playing a concert in Melbourne last January.

“He was about my age and he said to me ‘were you in Dublin at a certain date and I said yes’. His mum and dad had a picture of me and often wondered was it the same guy. Apparently I used to eat a lot of Weetabix.”

He was back in Croke Park this afternoon to announce details of a joint-headlining show that he and his band The High Flying Birds will be playing with Kasabian in Marlay Park on August 23rd.

Kasabian lead guitarist Sergio Pizzorno said he and Gallagher have been friends for eight years. The band supported Oasis in Slane in 2009.

Kasabian, who have been one of the biggest acts to come of the UK in recent years, have credited Oasis with inspiring much of their success especially bringing guitar music back to the fore.

However, Pizzorno said comparisons between his band and Oasis as “laziness”.

“Oasis made you believe that you actually be in a band. It was very much a punk attitude. We play guitar too, but that’s where it ends,” he said.

“Writers they have got things to do. They might read something you said and then they say ‘I don’t really like these cats so I won’t give them a chance and I’ll say what everyone else says about them’.

“We’ve kind of used it in our favour. For a lot of people we have been underestimated. When they come and see us live and listen to the CDs, there’s so much different that you can’t put us in the same category as Oasis.”

Tickets priced at €49.50 go on sale on Friday.

Noel Gallagher Lines Out At Croker Again After Making His Point 30 Years Ago

There are a few more wrinkles these days, but the bushy eyebrows and rock star sneer have not changed.

Oasis legend Noel Gallagher returns to Croke Park tonight to support the Red Hot Chili Peppers, nearly 30 years after scoring at the GAA headquarters.

Back in April 1983, the then 16-year-old was more in danger of becoming a GAA All-Star than a rock 'n' roll star.

He visited Croker when his Manchester-based Oisin's GAA club played an exhibition match at the ground.

Mr Gallagher gets the chance to play the stadium again tonight as his post-Oasis band, the High Flying Birds, supports the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Padraig Johnson, chairman and then selector of the GAA club, said that back in 1983 Mr Gallagher would not have realised that he was playing on hallowed turf.

"To be honest with you, looking back, I'm not sure if Noel or any of his teammates knew the significance of playing in Croke Park."

The young Gallagher -- seen here pulling a face next to the goalie -- is remembered by Mr Johnson as "always up for mischief".

"But Noel wasn't a bad kid. He was just like a lot of young men you meet, a little bit wild. You'd coach him and he'd listen.

"All in all, he was a very promising young player, and might have gone further in the GAA if he hadn't taken up rock 'n' roll," added Mr Johnson, who himself progressed to be president of the GAA in Britain.

The game at Croke Park came completely by chance, when the Manchester side were invited over to Dublin for the weekend by local side Kilmacud Crokes. "A few strings were pulled and at 11.30 one Saturday morning, I saw my young lads from Manchester coming out under the Hogan Stand to the sound of 'Amhran na bhFiann'," he said.

Gallagher's debut on the hallowed field is remembered in Croke Park's museum, in a book on display commemorating Oisin's centenary in 2004.

And the experience clearly did stick in the memory as the star has previously spoken about the game himself.

"We came to Dublin to play exhibition games against some Dublin teams in Croke Park. We were hammered though. But I scored a point."

Both Noel and Liam Gallagher played for the Oisin side but Mr Johnson said he "has no idea" why brother Liam Gallagher was not part of the weekend trip.

The Gallagher brothers were born and brought up in Longsight, Manchester by parents Thomas Gallagher, originally from Duleek, Co Meath, and Peggy Sweeney, from Swinford, Co Mayo.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds Are Mud For It

You couldn’t blame some punters at the Isle of Wight Festival for packing up early.

A lot of them had 12-hour journeys in on Thursday and were fed up with the rain, wind and mud.

But the ones gone by yesterday afternoon missed the set of the weekend in Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds.

They also missed the sunshiiiine, as Noel’s brother Liam would call it.

Soon after walking on to the main stage Noel asked the crowd if they were having a good time.

After a cheer he added: “F*** off – that’s not what it said on the news.”

It’s hard for the audience, who were stood in drying mud, not to enjoy solo tracks like Everybody’s On The Run and If I Had A Gun.

And although he got boos for dedicating it to Manchester City fans, AKA... What A Life already feels like a festival favourite.

It got almost the same response as Oasis tracks Little By Little and Half The World Away.

Nothing could compare to the crowd reaction for Noel’s final track Don’t Look Back In Anger.

Everyone had their hands in the air for the classic and sang every word.

The mood was helped by Noel saying he was singing it for “any Italians in the crowd” just before the footie kicked off.
