Folks
Noel Gallagher

Guitar band Folks have hailed Noel Gallagher as a "great man".
The six-piece from Manchester supported the ex-Oasis star on his European tour.
"We did his whole European tour, back in March. And he asked us again to play in Edinburgh," guitarist and songwriter Michael Beasley said.
"Noel's been around a long time now, but he still goes out to check out bands he thinks he might like, and if he does like you, he might well offer you a gig.
"There are so many people in the industry in his position, but not many are as helpful or generous. He's a great man."
The band recorded their album in just 17 days in Los Angeles.
We couldn't afford the place we had used before, Toe Rag Studios in London, so we ended up going to LA," Michael said.
"We had been working with a producer called Luther Russell, who is like LA musical royalty. He was in a band with Bob Dylan's son Jakob, grew up with Clint Eastwood's kids, and Stephen Stills's kids.
"He's a real Beatles enthusiast like we are, and loves four-track tape recorders too. His mate had a studio we could use, so yeah, it was cheaper to go to Beverly Hills and make a record than it was to go to London."
:: The band are on tour in the UK throughout July and August, with their biggest show to date at Edinburgh Castle on July 17, supporting Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. For more information, visit www.wearefolks.

The Stone Roses

Following on from his brother Liam, who supported The Stone Roses at Heaton Park last weekend with Beady Eye, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds warmed the crowd up for tonight's legendary headliners The Stone Roses.
Gallagher packed his set with crowd-pleasing favourites from his debut solo album as well as classic Oasis tracks, such as 'Talk Tonight', 'Whatever', 'Half The World Away' and 'Little By Little'.
'AKA…What A Life' was dedicated to Manchester City supporters, with Noel goading the team's rivals by saying manager Sir Alex Ferguson should "f*ck off".
But, of course, one of the biggest sing-a-longs this weekend came during his epic set-closer 'Don't Look Back In Anger', which saw the whole crowd swaying in unison.

Review: No stranger to a festival, but promoted to frontman status, Noel Gallagher took on Balado with his High Flying Birds for support.
Noel Gallagher had the crowds in their numbers, though they were surprisingly static for Saturday evening T.
Perhaps dragging their limbs through the mud all day had led to full body fatigue, or there was the chance that all audience participation had been reserved for The Stone Roses and their grand return to Scotland, but this may have been positively one of the most polite Scottish crowds ever served to a Gallagher brother. Do you see what happens when Liam's not around?
After years providing much of the talent from his bolder brother's shadow, the turn of Noel to take to the centre stage seems like one he would had avoided at all costs if he could have. With his head often bowed, and focusing on his guitar playing, the swagger's been dropped and there's little acknowledgement of the crowd. Not that it matters really, as this allows a far firmer focus on the music, rather than wondering which person in popular music is heading for a slating next. Can you imagine if Twitter had been around in the heyday of Oasis, I'm sure Liam would have recruited a few more enemies for himself.
A far more melodious venture than his previous success story, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds do still follow a similar vein. The obvious rhyming words are in there, though it's an altogether more laid-back and grown-up venture, though still utilises that crowd grabbing rollick. Playing the first half of the set from their self-titled debut, with much of the crowd word familiar, it's the delve into Oasis territory, that makes mud pies into muddy thighs.
Talk Tonight stirs the crowd, before that old familiar theme tune from The Royle Family- it looks like there are a few of them and their extended family at T- Half the World Away. Looking relaxed and happy, leaving Oasis behind looks like it's put the fun back into performing for Noel.
Back to the present, and (Standed On) The Wrong Beach gets a similar reception to his Oasis revisits, an obvious fan favourite, before a dedication to, "Anyone that used to go to Barrowlands." With those rowdy adventures well documented, Whatever brought a bit of that atmosphere to Balado, for the first full on sing along of the set. Even backed by a crowd of many thousands, Noel's own version was a lighter and more tuneful rendition, a whole happier song without Liam's distinctive drawl across the vocal.
Serving up a set list of festival pleasers, 90s anthems, Little By Little accelerated the set to the finishing line of Don't Look Back In Anger- perhaps some advice for many unhappy customers who left T early as a result of yesterday's difficult conditions.
Leaving the crowd awash in nostalgia, rather than promoting his newer material, Noel Gallagher delivers what Balado needs, and although they were far from wild, there was a certain warmth between them and Mr G back in his second home... Or it could just have been the mutual excitement for headliners The Stone Roses.

Noel Gallagher

Even though there’s an air of almost unassuming dignity to Noel Gallagher now he’s no longer one half of rock’s biggest bitchfest alongside his brother Liam, he doesn’t appear entirely able to divorce himself from the role of agent provocateur.
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
Main Stage, Saturday
****
His new stage persona is that of a smartly middle-aged man issuing sober thank-yous between songs, but he found it impossible to resist dedicating a song to “all the Man City fans,” his fellow victors at long last, and issuing a stern “**** you” to someone in the crowd who appeared to take issue.
It was a welcome outburst. Where Gallagher’s old band long outstayed their welcome for all but the most easily pleased, his new project navigates the tightrope between all that used to be good about Oasis and all he still has to offer with reinvigorated skill. The aforementioned dedication preceded AKA... What a Life, the finest song from his first and only solo album, and it spoke volumes that few of these tracks were ignored while the crowd awaited the hey-day hits, as many of Oasis’ later efforts were. If I Had a Gun..., Dream On, AKA... Broken Arrow and the resonant Stranded On the Wrong Beach were at least worthy of sharing a bill with bona fide classics like Talk Tonight, Half the World Away and a closing, joyously-welcomed Don’t Look Back in Anger.

Oasis

"D'You Know What I Mean?" is a song by British rock band Oasis. It was the first single from their third album Be Here Now and was released on the 7th July 1997. It reached #1 in the UK singles chart, the 3rd Oasis song to do so. The song was written by Noel Gallagher. It was certified platinum for UK sales.
At the time "D'You Know What I Mean" was released, Oasis were at the height of their fame, and as a result, the single, along with the album, was highly anticipated. Upon its release it was critically and commercially successful.
The guitar chords on both the verse and the chorus are similar to the chords used for the Oasis single "Wonderwall" (F#m7/A/Esus4/Bsus4).
The song also shows more of Noel's influences. References include Bob Dylan ("Blood on the tracks and they must be mine"), and The Beatles ("Fool on the hill and I feel fine"), and even their own earlier work ("Don't look back in Anger "). The song also features a drum loop from N.W.A.
The Morse code in the background translates to include such sayings as "bugger all", "pork pies" and "Strawberry Fields Forever." Oasis haven't performed this song since 2002.

B-Sides
One of the B-sides, "Stay Young", has become a popular Oasis song, so much so that fans voted it onto the B-sides collection The Masterplan - one of only two B-sides from the Be Here Now period which made the album. The song was originally intended to be the "Digsy's Dinner" of Be Here Now (the lighthearted novelty track, such as "Digsy's Dinner" on Definitely Maybe and "She's Electric" on (What's the Story) Morning Glory?), until Noel set it aside in favour of "Magic Pie". Gallagher claims not to be particularly fond of the track.
Interview
In a 1997 interview promoting Be Here Now, Noel Gallagher had the following to say about the first single: "I was going to make up some profound statement in the chorus but I couldn't come up with anything that fitted. Then I just thought "All my people right here, right now. D'You Know What I Mean? Yeah, Yeah" Very vague, very ambiguous, that'll do. Look in the mirror and wink while you're singing it and it's quite saucy. And I f***ing love that line, 'Coming in a mess, going out in style'. We were a bunch of scruffs from Manchester and we're going out in a Rolls Royce."
In another 1997 interview, this time on BBC, Noel Gallagher said: "I cant believe I wrote it, it's going to blow people away."
"The morse code in the background was inspired by Strawberry Fields. We got hold of a code book and tried to tap out 'Bugger All' to follow that line 'Don't look back cos you know what you might see'. But if anyone can tell me what we really said, please let me know. Profound lagerisms..."
Seven Ages of Rock
In an interview with the BBC for their documentary Seven Ages of Rock, Gallagher said of the song, "Its eight and a half minutes, the first single, the drums haven't fuckin' come in for two minutes- its all feedback!". He also says that he expected someone to ask them to edit the introduction to the song down, but such was their status in Britain, nobody did. They even performed the song on Top of the Pops, still playing most of the lengthy introduction.
The performance on Top of the Pops ended with a stage invasion by surrounding fans- the second of three stage invasions in the whole history of the show (the first was Nirvana and the last Symposium).
Cover information
The single cover photograph, by Michael Spencer Jones and directed by Brian Cannon of Microdot, was taken in front of the 'Blind Steps', a staircase in Wigan so called because they run past the Blind Workshop, which can be seen to the left of the shot. The steps can still be found on Darlington Street. The shoot was shrouded in secrecy to protect mass media coverage, but newspaper The Wigan Evening Post got exclusive rights to cover the event and subsequently sold the photos to the Daily Mirror. At a lunchtime break, Liam Gallagher and sleeve designer Brian Cannon enjoyed a pint of beer in the nearby Crispin Arms pub by Birkett Bank.
Music video
The music video is filmed at Beckton Gas Works in London with many military helicopters and a strange landscape of concrete slabs and torn down buildings. Liam Gallagher is wearing a snorkel parka and sports a unique pair of sunglasses.
