Brendon O'Connor
Kathryn Thomas
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Kathryn Thomas has revealed Brendan O’Connor left her completely mortified when he asked Noel Gallagher who she was on The Saturday Night Show.
The Winning Streak star was a guest on the RTE series on the same night as Noel – however the Oasis frontman was not too familiar with who she was.
“Waiting backstage, I couldn’t believe my ears when he asked Noel Gallagher; ‘What would you do if I told you Kathryn Thomas was coming on next?’” Kathryn said.
“In his droll Mancunian manner, Noel drawled: ‘I’d say, who on earth is that?!’”
The TV star admitted in her Daily Star column the snub left her feeling completely “humiliated”.
“Cue yours truly, arriving out to the audience red faced but laughing.”
“Although it galls me to say it, I thought Brendan’s intro was hilarious,” she admitted.
“Embarrassing yes, and a tad humiliating, absolutely.”
The cringe worthy moment was made even worse by the fact that Kathyrn is a massive Oasis fan.
“I was the biggest Oasis fan back in those late 1990s, a glorious music era.”
“Behind the scenes on Brendan’s show, I made it my business to introduce myself to Mr Grouchy Mancunian eyebrows before departing Donnybrook.”
“And I am still glad that I did so,” she added.

Alan McGee
Bonehead
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Paul Weller
Noel Gallagher recently revealed Paul Weller would “put his windows in” if Oasis reformed. He clearly values the fenestration in his Maida Vale home, so any reunion plans for the nineties rock behemoths have been put on ice.
According to midweek sales tallies, Gallagher's second solo album Chasing Yesterday is on course for this week’s number one. His world tour began in Belfast, but gets off to a slightly shaky start on its second night in Dublin.
The opening two numbers sound curiously flat, as if team Gallagher haven't quite figured out the sonic intricacies of their 2015 set.
A triple whammy of the Oasis favourite ‘Fade Away’, recent single ‘In the Heat of the Moment’ and the all out rocker ‘Lock All the Doors’, nicely kick the show back into touch.
‘Champagne Supernova’ works its familiar magic with a little help from a supporting cast of thousands. Shout outs and dedications are made to former Oasis guitarist Bonehead, who is in the audience and deejaying at an after show party, and Derry chanteuse and familial namesake, Bronagh Gallagher.
The music impresario Alan McGee, who discovered Oasis and signed them to Creation Records, is also in attendance.
A Noel show wouldn't be complete without the evergreen anthem ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’, but the icing on the cake is an epic rendition of 'The Masterplan'. Released as a b-side (remember them?) to ‘Wonderwall’ in 1995, it's yet another reminder of Gallagher’s prowess as a songwriter. Judging by the reaction to his latest collection of songs charging up the charts, this power doesn’t look like fading any time soon.
My gut feeling is Oasis will eventually reform, but Noel Gallagher won't be in any massive rush to do so.

Alex Turner
Bastille
Blur
Damon Albarn
Noel Gallagher
Noel Gallagher has reiterated that he finds Alex Turner boring and said that nobody he criticises should take offence as he never makes things personal.
Gallagher recently stated that he would "rather drink petrol from the nozzle" than listen to the Arctic Monkeys frontman give another interview. Speaking in the new issue of NME, which is on newsstands now and available digitally, Noel explains his thinking about the outspoken comments he makes about other musicians.
"What is there to be offended about?, Gallagher said. "I never say anything about their persona. I don't diss anybody’s character. Alex Turner wouldn't be offended by that, why should he be? I guess he could be by the headlines, because they’re like 'Noel Calls Queen A Cunt', but I was just talking about rock star interviews in general. Alex is a fucking top dude in a fucking top band, and a very attractive man. His interviews, on the other hand, are lacklustre."
"It’s even worse for solo artists," he argued. "But if someone says fucking 'Noel Gallagher's shit', they're not saying I'm shit, they're saying my music's shit. And you can't be a fan of everybody’s music, can you? I stand by everything I've ever said. Apart from Damon [in 1995, Noel said he hoped the Blur singer and bandmate Alex James would 'catch Aids and die']. I'd have found that offensive."
"I find it odd when bands say 'it's such an honour to be a bunch of cunts'. I read something in a magazine where a guy from Bastille said that it was such a fantastic honour that I'd said in an interview that in the '90s I would've taken him out after one interview. I just thought, 'You fucking dick'.”

Bono
Chris Martin
Ed Sheeran
Harry Styles
Noel Gallagher
One Direction
U2
Rock star Noel Gallagher has revealed how he is vying with Bono and Chris Martin to write the greatest song of all time.
He opened up about his friendship with the Irish singer in a new Rolling Stone interview and disclosed how he has dubbed him, Father Bono.
The Oasis legend, who has just released his latest album, said he loves socialising with the U2 frontman.
He said: “Of all the people I know, he’s the most fun to hang out with, for sure. He’s a funny fucker, and he can drink.”
He also revealed he is in competition with the U2 frontman and Chris Martin to pen the ultimate song.
“I still think tomorrow might be the day that I write the greatest song of all time. It’s like going fishing.
“The guitar is your fishing rod, and if I’m not fishing for that song, Bono will get it, and if he’s not, Chris Martin will.
“And fuck those two guys, because they’ve got enough. We’re all fishing in the same river, and its cut throat”, he told the music bible.
He is amazed at the interest the U2 frontman takes in the making of his albums for his new band, the High Flying Birds.
“He’s got big ideas — for his band and for my music as well, which is astonishing. He’s always giving me titles for songs and albums. I call him Father Bono.”
The outspoken British singer said he liked U2’s new album but named Joshua Tree as one of his favourite albums of all time.
“I like (Songs of Innocence).
“Some of the greatest moments of my musical life have involved U2. Anybody who doesn’t like The Joshua Tree is a c****ucker, for a start.
“And anybody who went to see the Zoo TV tour and didn’t think it was the greatest of all time at that time is also an idiot.”
He doesn’t have the same praise for Ed Sheeran who walked off with the gong for album of the year at the Brit awards.
But he explained a recent comment, stating he didn’t want to live in a world where Ed Sheeran was headlining Wembley Stadium, had been said in good humour.
“He’s all right, Ed. He took it with good humour which is how it was meant.
“I was bemoaning the fact the biggest rock bands in England can’t even sell out Wembley, and yet pop music can. Modern pop music is bland nonsense. There isn’t even a word yet that’s capable of describing it. If it was a colour, it would be beige.”
He also likes superstar band One Direction but he doesn’t understand why they collaborate with songwriters for the hits on their albums.
“I know Harry Styles. We’ve hung out a couple of times. They’re lovely lads.
“But I’ve got to say, I have difficulties with people who don’t write their own songs, who’ve got a team of songwriters who work for your record label.”
