Ex Oasis Drummer 'Alan White' Is Selling His London Home For £7.5m

No comments













A mews house in Knightsbridge owned by Alan White, the Oasis drummer, has been put on the market for £7.5m.

The Oasis drummer Alan White is selling his London home for £7.5m.

The spacious mews property is in the heart of Knightsbridge, adjacent to Cadogan Square and only a short stroll from Harrods.

Decorated mainly in monochrome and metallic tones, it offers two to three bedrooms, with the master bedroom suite occupying the entire second floor.

As befits a musician's home, the house has state-of-the-art audio equipment throughout. A Sonos music zone system means that music can be played wirelessly in many of the rooms, while even the terrace has speakers.

White, 41, has lived in the property for over 10 years, and refurbished it from top to bottom. He said he loved the home, but that he and his partner Charlie had decided to bring up their family outside of London.

“This has been a great house for me, but after having our son we have decided to move to the country for more space for him to run around,” he said.

“When I decided to refurbish the property I wanted to make it really special so we’ve cut no corners and the end result is really something, even if I say so myself.”

Ollie Marshall, from estate agent Brooks Gordon, said: “As mews houses go, this is really one of the best. Clabon Mews is highly desirable because it’s a fantastic location in the heart of Knightsbridge where there is always a scarcity of good houses.

“Alan’s attention to detail has been amazing; even the garage has been fully wired for AV and has speakers concealed in the ceiling. It's very rock and roll."

White was the longest-serving drummer in Oasis's history, performing with the band for nine years. He left unexpectedly in 2004, and was replaced by Zak Starkey, the son of The Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr.

Oasis' Back Catalogue Will Soon Be Available On Spotify

No comments













Music Week reports that Oasis' entire catalogue is set to arrive on Spotify soon, as the band's management says it's "purely a matter of timing".

The band is one of the biggest holdouts in the UK since it launched in 2008. The post-Oasis work of both Noel and Liam Gallagher (High Flying Birds and Beady Eye) is on the service, but Ignition has not made track available from albums like Definitely Maybe, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? and Dig Out Your Soul.

Ignition Records director John Leahy said: "It is the case that historically the Oasis catalogue isn't on Spotify in the UK, but we're talking to Spotify at the moment to address that - and it will be addressed very soon."

Ignition co-owner Alec McKinlay, who has worked with Oasis since 1993, added: "It's purely a matter of timing. If you're working with artists in any part of the industry, you have to engage with fans in the way they want you to."

Other long time holdouts have recently appeared on the platform, including Metallica, Pink Floyd and The Eagles. Other bands not available include The Beatles, Led Zeppeln and AC/DC.

Ignition, meanwhile, is busy handling self-released albums from Primal Scream, Stereophonics and Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. It uses a model similar to Oasis' Big Brother Recordings.

On This Day In Oasis History...

No comments














"Sunday Morning Call" is a song by British rock band Oasis taken from their fourth studio album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, and was released as the third and final single from it on 3 July 2000, peaking at #4 in the UK charts. The song is written and sung by Noel Gallagher, who took over lead vocal from brother Liam Gallagher on an A-side for the first time since "Don't Look Back in Anger" in 1996.

Though the song has the same anthemic feel that popularised many Oasis songs, and departs from the psychedelic feel of Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, which had been poorly received by critics, it received a mixed critical reception. NME described it as "a dreary thing indeed", whereas Allmusic described it as a "self-consciously mature departure from the group's usual ebullience... a deliberately mellow, mid-tempo [song]".



The music video is a take on the Jack Nicholson film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with characters resembling McMurphy and Nurse Ratched. It was filmed in an old mental institution in Vancouver, Canada and features Scottish actor James Cunningham, who has previously starred in the original play of Trainspotting. Unlike the film, the video begins with the McMurphy character escaping his home and giving chase to the authorities, and ends in a football match. While the inmates celebrate a victory, Oasis are seen watching from the asylum window, and Noel Gallagher makes a 'wanker' hand gesture at Cunningham.

Although unconfirmed, there was widespread speculation at the time that the song was inspired by Noel's friend Kate Moss.

To date this is the only Oasis single on which Liam Gallagher does not provide vocals on any of the songs.

Beady Eye To Play Mallorca Rocks

No comments













Tickets available now at www.mallorcarocks.com

With Liam Gallagher at the helm - an icon to the Rocks generation - we're excited to announce that the awesome Beady Eye are on a crash course with the Balearics for a colossal show to celebrate our 3rd Birthday in Mallorca.

Formed in 2009 as a side project following the infamous split of Oasis Beady Eye have been going from strength to strength ever since. Fronted by Liam Gallagher's trademark swagger the Manchester five piece toured across the globe last year with debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' culminating in a performance at the London 2012 Closing ceremony in front of an estimated auidence of 750 million people. With some massive festival appearances planned for this summer already we can't wait for them to debut tracks from their hugely anticipated second album BE (and maybe throw a few Oasis songs for good measure) on the Rocks stage this July.

Joining Beady Eye for a wild night at the Rocks are a band currently taking the live circuit by storm. A favourite at Rocks HQ Temples have been quietly building a reputation for themselves as ones to watch in 2013 with their awesome first track 'Shelter Song' mixing elements of indie, classic and psychedelic rock.

Beady Eye Announce Dublin Show

Liam Gallagher's post-Oasis band Beady Eye have announced a show at Dublin's Olympia Theatre this November.

Liam Gallagher’s post-Oasis band Beady Eye have announced a show at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre this November.

Tickets, priced €37.05 (including booking fee), go on sale this Friday, July 5, at 9.00am for the November 7 gig. Beady Eye opened last weekend’s Glastonbury and have just released their second album BE, which peaked at No 4 in Ireland.

The band, which also includes former Ride guitar hero Andy Bell, former Heavy Stereo man Gem Archer, and Chris Sharrock, played two Oasis songs, Rock 'N' Roll Star and Morning Glory, at Glasto with Gallagher telling the crowd, "Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star – at 11.30 in the ******* morning!" He also dedicated the song to his sons, Lennon and Gene.

This will be Beady Eye’s first gig in Ireland in two years - not quite the standard set by Noel Gallagher, who has played five gigs over here with his High Flying Birds in the past year-and-a-half.
