From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
So . . . now then . . . yes comrades!!
I've been having so much fun that I've forgotten to send one of these things for ages. Sorry 'bout that but you know how it is (or maybe you don't?)!
Anyway let's see what I can remember eh? So, if my memory serves me correct I was in Stuttgart, in Germany, with a dirty little cold worrying over whether to pull the following night’s gig or not? Is that right? You tell me? I think so. Got dosed up on hot whiskey and Lemsip (the blackcurrant ones!) and sleeping tablets (to be taken responsibly young 'uns . . . just saying). Woke up the next afternoon in a very damp bed, freezing cold. It did the trick though. Felt well enough to get up and get down (so to speak!) and lo and behold the gig was fucking mega! The wiggers had done the trick!! Onwards to Hamburg feeling much better. Another day on the hot wiggers and Lemsip and ANOTHER top show! Who'd’ve thought? Not me that's for sure.
Think we had three gigs in a row which is unusual (for me anyway) and the next one was a big one . . . that Isle of Wight Festival. Reports on the news made it sound like some kind of recreation of a 1st World War battlefield. Now, I've never been to the Isle of Wight, so I was looking forward to it very much. Woke up in the New Forest and yes!!! The sun was out! It was actually sunny!! So much so that me and Nancy went for a lovely little middle-class walk amongst the flowers and the bushes and the trees and the horses . . . actually that might have been the day after . . . not sure, but I do remember walking amongst the flowers and the bushes and the trees and the horses.
You have to get a ferry to the Isle of Wight and I'll tell you something comrades, it was most pleasant. We even went up on deck and took photos . . . of what I'm not quite sure but photos were taken all the same. We had ANOTHER great show . . . the third great show in a row, which is unusual (for me anyway). This drinking whiskey malarkey is fucking MEGA!! Great crowd although some young 'uns did get a bit excited and lighted up a few flares and one did get lobbed on stage but no damage done and it added a bit of chaos to the proceedings which is no bad thing. That fella "the Boss" approved 'cause he was watching from the side of the stage and was laughing his little head off!!
So then we had a day off in the New Forest. The hangover wasn't too bad. More than manageable. Flew into the great city of Dublin that night for a gig the next day with them Red Hot Chilli Peppers and guess what? ANOTHER GREAT SHOW!!! That must be some kind of record? It must be. I can't ever remember doing 4 GREAT gigs in a row? Considering 5 days prior to that I was gonna call the doctor out for I sick-note, I'm pretty fucking impressed!!!
The singer from that band U2 came to see us with that fella Danger Mouse. It was great to see 'em. We had to leg it early though, back to London for an all too brief visit to see Bunny Dread and the Mighty I . . . that was yesterday . . . and today I'm in the very wet city of Oslo in Norway.
And that comrades . . . is that! You can consider yourself up to speed.
No doubt tonight's gig will be shite.
I will let you know.
ONWARDS.

Sara Gallagher
Noel Gallagher put on a storming show at the Isle of Wight festival on Sunday and he found time to celebrate his first wedding anniversary too.
The rocker, 45, and Sara MacDonald, his partner of 12 years, married at the Lime Wood Hotel in the New Forest, a short hop from the Isle of Wight, on June 18 last year.
And we hear that the couple, pictured above, who have two children, Donovan, four, and Sonny, 21 months, were spotted celebrating their anniversary at the Lime Wood on Monday.
“They were having lunch in the hotel’s Scullery Restaurant before taking a turn around the grounds and looking very loved up,” says our spy in the fluffy robe.

The Stone Roses
Noel Gallagher, David Beckham,and Damien Hirst are just some of the stars who have paid their own tributes to The Stone Roses as the reunited band prepare for the first of their massive homecoming Heaton Park concerts which will take place tomorrow (June 29th).
The Sun newspaper has apparently obtained a copy of the official programme which will be on sale to the thousands of fans preparing to descend on the Manchester venue during the weekend, and quotes David Beckham as writing: “The Stone Roses was part of my upbringing in Manchester. And being an East End boy, that’s saying something.”
“Their music has inspired so many people but for me it brings back memories of the most happiest time in my football career, when I started my career at Manchester United. The fact that they are back is incredible to see.”
Noel Gallagher, who has constantly cited the Roses as one of this chief inspirations, and Beckham’s former Manchester United team-mate Ryan Giggs are also said to have left their own tributes, while the artist Damien Hirst has allegedly described them as ‘more important than Picasso’.

Noel Gallagher
Paul Gallagher
Westlife
Noel Gallagher has been one of the most outspoken voices in British music for the best part of two decades. Never one to hold his tongue or any range of subjects, Noel was in town this week to play support to the Red Hot Chili Peppers in a bumper show at Croke Park. While there, Noel called a press conference to announce details of an upcoming double-headliner gig with Kasabian in Marlay Park on August 23rd next but seemed more intent on discussing other matters, like playing a GAA game in Croke Park as a child, the possibilities of an Oasis reunion and Ireland's performance in Euro 2012.
Have a peep at the highlights below.
On playing in Croke Park in 1983
Someone's just given me a photograph of it actually. I remember I scored, I scored a point. We got hammered, but I scored. I can't remember at which end.
On what happened to his GAA career
I'd gone as far as I could take that team. It was decided that I'd be better off in the music business. I'm not an athlete, too much hard graft goes into that. [My brothers] all played too. I enjoyed it at the time; I've got to say, until smoking, drinking, birds and drugs take over. Football goes out the window then, doesn't it? Just watching football is hard enough.
How did Noel end up playing at Croke Park?
The Irish community in Manchester has lots of Gaelic football teams and we played for one. We were the champions of Lancashire for years, from U-14s right through to U-18s and we came over here to play an Irish team and we got leathered.
We stayed with the other team's families. It's funny actually, I was in Australia in January doing The Big Day Out and I bumped into an Irish guy and he was about my age. "Were you in Dublin..." and he gave the dates of the GAA game...and he said his mam and dad had a picture of me. I must have stayed at their house. They often wondered if it was the same guy! I said, yeah that was me. Apparently I used to eat a lot of Weetabix, hence the fairly successful career since.
On what position he played
Oh I've no idea. I can't even remember what the positions are. I would have been some goal-hanging twat I would have thought.
On following Gaelic Games
My older brother Paul follows Mayo. If I knew [the All Ireland Final] was on I'd probably watch it but nobody would tell. I've seen a few down the years, it's quite exciting. I'm not too into hurling. Fuck that, it's like gang warfare innit?
On if his kids want to be rock stars
Who doesn't want to be a rock star? If that's what they want to do, but I've assured them that they're not going to be as good as me.
On what he's like around the house
I think I'm brilliant; my wife thinks I'm useless. I'm sure it's like any other relationship that anyone else has with their wife. I don't do a great deal. I don't have a shed, I don't do any whittling. Do I do the ironing? Good lord, no. I've got staff for that. Although I shouldn't refer to the wife as 'staff'.
On artist tax exemptions in Ireland
I'm a bit uncomfortable with that. There's only so much money you can earn. Nobody likes paying 50% tax but if that's the way it is, it's the way it is. I wouldn't ever go and see my accountant and try to squirrel away a few bob here and there. For what?
On how much tax he pays
Me? Well I sorted that out with Tony Blair in the 90's, I don't have to pay anything (laughs).
On Liam Gallagher and the possibility of an Oasis reunion
I texted him at Christmas, after the City match. I don't think [a reunion] is going to happen. It would be great for everybody else except me. I would be great for millions and millions but I wouldn't be very happy about it. I was in Oasis for nearly 20 years. I've been doing this, what I'm doing now, for one year. I'd like to see what it's like to do it for a lot longer.
I spoke to Gem (Archer, formerly of Oasis now of Beady Eye) recently, not about that, but nobody ever brings it up with any seriousness. Liam does publicly, but he says a lot of things publicly. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously.
On Ireland at Euro 2012
Why is everyone being so hard on the team. They played Spain and Italy, two of the semi-finalists - one of them is going to win it. You're lucky to get a kick off Spain, let alone a goal. If you look at it in the cold light of day neither England nor Ireland have good enough players to win tournaments like this.
On whether or not he was sad to see the end of Westlife
Why, what's happened? They've not been killed, have they?
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will play a double-headliner with Kasabian at Marlay Park on August 23rd. Tickets on sale from Friday, priced at €49.50. Support is from The Cribs.

Last night Beady Eye played their only UK headline show of the year at Warrington’s Parr Hall.

The 1000 fans packed into the venue were treated to a new song written by Liam Gallagher 'World Not Set In Stone' and they also dipped into the Oasis back catalogue for the first time playing 'Rock 'n' Roll Star' and 'Morning Glory'.
They also played a number of tracks from their debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding, strangely missing from the setlist were the last two Beady Eye singles 'Millionaire' and 'The Beat Goes On'.
The band will support the Stone Roses on Saturday before they travel to Japan and Korea next month for two festival shows.

Liam Gallagher said earlier this year that Beady Eye will include Oasis songs in their set at Japan's Fuji Festival in July.
He told XFM: "We're doing Fuji Festival in Japan, which is in July. And we will be dropping Oasis songs for anyone who's bothered".
Gallagher continued: "The time is right now, without a doubt. We were always going to do it, but we thought the [Beady Eye] album needed to stand on its own. We've done some good gigs, we've done some shit gigs. And it's time to drop them in now. Everyone else is. I feel they're just as much my songs as they are Noel's. And if people don't like it, go to the bar or fuck off. If they do like it, jump up and down, let's have a good time."

Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds played Croker last night supporting Red Hot Chilli Peppers and just before his soundcheck he invited us down to the venue to announce ANOTHER gig. They’ll play Marlay Park with Kasabian on the 23rd of August. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am.
Noel told us earlier on how he once played a GAA match at Croke Park in 1983 – he was on a Manchester GAA team called Oisin’s who were competing against an Irish team and he remembers scoring a point but they were beaten by the end.
So where did Noel stay all those years ago? Was it a fancy hotel? Apparently they were put up by the team they were playing against! Noel said: “We stayed with the other team’s families. I was in Australia in January this year and I met this Irish guy on the street in Melbourne. He asked me was I in Dublin on a certain date (the time of the match) and I said yeah. He said his mam and dad had a photo of this kid and always wondered if it was me and it was. Apparently I used to eat a lot of Weetabix, hence the successful career since”.
He’s so famous across the globe but do his kids know what their dad do and would Noel let his daughter go into the music business? Noel told 98FM “My 12 year old daughter knows what I do, my 4 year old has just sussed it out but my 1 year old…well that’s just chaos. If the lads wanted to pursue a career in music, that’s great. It’s a bit tricky with girls though in the music business. They tend to get exploited more. If two lads wanted to join a band, you wouldn’t worry but with a girl, you’d always be thinking of Amy Winehouse. Girls tends to be solo artists and not very happy in my experience but I dunno, if that’s what they wanna do. I have assured them though that they’ll never be as good as me”, he joked.
Speaking of homelife, we had to ask what he’s like around the house. Noel said: “I think I’m brilliant but my wife thinks I’m useless which I guess is just the same as any other relationship that anyone else has with their wife. I don’t do a great deal. I don’t have a shed or anything like that….I don’t do any whittling, I don’t collect anything. When I finish touring, it depends what the day is like. If it’s raining, I’ll sit in and catch up on any telly that I’ve missed but I don’t really make any plans”.
So does a rock star like Noel Gallagher ever do the ironing??? Noel told 98FM :”Good lord no, I’ve got staff for that”. He joked I shouldn’t refer to my wife as staff, she’ll f*****g kill me……I iron yeah. I’ve been known to iron my own shirts from time to time”!!! Who would’ve thought it eh!
He did tell us that he has no real interest in an Oasis reunion saying it would be great for everyone else except him. He also said not to pay any attention to Liam Gallagher when he publicly talks about a reunion!
