Noel Gallagher Banned From Buying His Family Christmas Tree This Year

Noel Gallagher was banned from buying his family Christmas tree this year.

The gobby rocker was shown a red card by wife Sara, 39, after being rude to a tree seller last year.

The Manc legend, 45, said: “You don’t get a chance to sit around with my missus at Christmas. She said to me, ‘I’m going to get the tree. You’re not invited to get the tree because you were so mean and awful to the man last year!’ I think the bloke was giving me the tree’s life history and I said ‘Look mate it’s minus two here, I’m not interested. Just stick it in the back of the Rolls and shut up’.

“Christmas is a lot of nonsense for me.”

Despite his Grinchlike misdemeanour, the High Flying Birds front man has brought his missus some fancy Christmas presents.

He said: “I got Mrs Gallagher a sparkly thing and some books.

“What is she going to get me with my money? It’s every man’s sore point.

“I’m trying to keep it down to a family pack of Squares crisps.

“She’s insisting she buys me some outlandish David Bowie photograph.

“I said I don’t really need that. I’ll just have the crisps.

“I don’t really need anything.”

Bradley Wiggins Rocks After-Party With Impromptu Oasis Performance

Bradley Wiggins shocked revellers at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year after-party by jumping on stage and belting out a few of his favourite mod songs with an impromptu guitar session.

The Tour de France champion, who claimed the top prize at last night’s glitzy event, celebrated his win in style by rocking out to classic hits by The Jam and Oasis with the hired band.

Wiggins hopped on stage and first asked the musicians if they knew The Jam classic ‘That Entertainment’, which they didn’t.

Not wanting to ruin a good party, they followed his lead, but with the Team Sky cyclist reluctant to sing, he invited anyone who fancied it to get up and give it a go, with a security guard eventually obliging.

Wiggins then requested the band join him in a rendition of Oasis smash hit ‘Wonderwall’, which he lead on guitar while the band’s singer belted out Noel Gallagher’s classic anthem with the help of the crowd.

The Sports Personality of the Year then took the party to trendy London nightclub Whiskey Mist, where he celebrated until 3am.

Liam Gallagher And Chance Facebook Link Leave Band Sitting Pretty

They're the stylish Welsh band taking the first steps to stardom thanks to Liam Gallagher – and a chance Facebook connection.

Cold Committee so impressed Gallagher that he invited the youngsters to play a series of dates at his Pretty Green shops around the UK.

The four-piece from Prestatyn and Rhyl are hoping their career now goes Supersonic and they quickly become Rock ‘n’ Roll Stars after the lucky Facebook encounter resulted in a meeting with the former Oasis frontman.

The outfit – James Cairns, 19, Sam Hughes, 19, Adam Bass, 20, and Jordan Samuel, 20 – linked up with London-based actor Frankie Rizzo, who liked them so much he offered to manage the band.

“I saw a photo on Facebook of Frankie and Liam and I thought I’ll add Frankie, and then I sent him some songs over and asked if he could have a listen and tell me what he thought,” recalls singer and guitarist James.

“Then he came back and said ‘I’m interested and I’d actually like to start managing you’. It was as simple as that.”

Their manager played friend Liam the band’s demos and the rock star offered them the gigs at Gallagher’s clothes stores in Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Liverpool, Cardiff, Birmingham and Newcastle before rounding off with a gig at the store in Covent Garden in London.

“Liam really liked the songs, obviously he’s a mate of Frankie’s but he had to be into the tracks for us to go on the tour,” adds the musician.

It’s been a whirlwind few months for the band formed just five months ago and who started out playing covers in holiday camps around North Wales.

“The Pretty Green gigs have given us incredible exposure,” says James. “It’s all been a bit difficult to take in. We never thought we’d be at this stage in just a few months, it’s all happened so fast.

Last night we played the last date of the tour in London it was and probably the best one yet.

“We got some free clothes, free T-shirts and polos which was great. We look the part!”

And they even got the chance to be starstruck when they met the larger-than-live singer.

“Well, it was weird because we were heading down to London for a gig at The Purple Turtle in Camden and we were playing Oasis songs in the car when my mobile rang.

“It was Frankie who was down in London at a pub with Liam. He said Liam wants to meet you, so we went and a had a few beers with him before our gig.

“We had a chat, he told us a few rock ‘n’ roll tales but mainly he was giving us advice.

“We are all massive Oasis fans so we were thrilled.”

The band’s adventure look sets to continue with James letting slip there is record company interest, but he adds the band are determined to keep their feet firmly on the ground.

“Sony are interested, and Mercury, but it’s early days yet. We want to take it step by step. Hopefully next year we can hit it hard and 2013 can be a big year for us.”

:: Cold Committee play Bar 236 in Prestatyn on December 14 and Proud Galleries, London on December 27.
