Noel Gallagher Disappointed That John Lewis Advert Song 'Forever Linked' To Christmas

High Flying Birds star says his dislike for Christmas has increased yet further by use of Half The World Away.

Noel Gallagher has revealed how his dislike for Christmas has increased, after a cover of his track featured on the John Lewis festive advert.

The High Flying Birds frontman said hearing Aurora's version of the Oasis B-side, Half The World Away, on the high street chain's Man On The Moon advert made him feel disappointed, because the song will now forever be associated with Christmas.

"It will forever be synonymous with Christmas from now on and, as is well known, it's not my favourite time of year," he said as he performed a concert with BBC Radio 2 in London.
"Having said that, at least it comes with a cheque, which, believe me, is highly worthwhile."

The 48-year-old rocker joked: "And don't go buying me John Lewis vouchers for Christmas, trying to be a smart a---, inside a card that says 'Noel'."

Gallagher has previously expressed his aversion for Christmas, saying: "I hate the silly music on the radio, I hate the adverts, I don't like mince pies and I hate turkey. I can't be a---- getting involved."

He was joined by his Oasis bandmate Gem Archer - who was also part of Gallagher's brother Liam's band Beady Eye - as he performed the intimate and semi-acoustic set, filled with B-sides of Oasis singles and hits from his first High Flying Birds album, at the BBC Radio Theatre.

The Manchester-born musician introduced Archer as "my former right-hand man, who is now my left-hand man".

Four hundred fans watched Gallagher play live, although more than 50,000 people applied to attend the gig, which included past Oasis hits Wonderwall, (What's The Story) Morning Glory? and Don't Look Back In Anger.Sara

He also dedicated the Oasis track, Slide Away, to his absent wife Sara MacDonald, "who couldn't be bothered to come tonight".

Gallagher, who performed at Lincoln's Bishop Grosseteste University with Archer on Saturday, will next play at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday.

He will embark on a UK tour next April.

Noel Gallagher Rules Out Performing At Next Year's Glastonbury Festival

Noel Gallagher will attend Glastonbury Festival 2016, but only as a reveller after ruling out an Oasis reunion or any other appearance.

The legendary Manchester band were high on fans' wish lists to headline the sold-out Worthy Farm event next summer, only for the elder Gallagher brother to quash speculation.

Talking to BBC Radio Two presenter Simon Mayo ahead of a live performance on air this evening, Gallagher said: "I won't be doing Glastonbury, nor will Oasis, Beady Eye (band formed by former Oasis members and frontman Liam Gallagher) or any other Oasis spin offs.

"I'll be going to Glastonbury though, but won't be playing."

Review: Noel Gallagher In Lincoln

It's not every day Noel Gallagher comes to Lincoln.

The former Oasis star, famous for his short-temper and rocky relationship with his younger brother, is a British music icon.

He's penned some of the nation's favourite songs, performed to hundreds of thousands of people across the world and scooped the industry's top prizes.

Yet here he was, sat no more than 50 feet away from me playing a small intimate gig to 200 people at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln.

In short – I had to pinch myself.

Of course my night started long before the show kicked off as I mingled among excited competition winners – "would he play Wonderwall" or "would someone mention Liam" (thankfully no one did) many asked.

There was not only a feeling of excitement in the air but a sense of the unknown.

Many were self-confessed Oasis fans with more knowledge of his back catalogue than anything he had done in recent years, myself included.

My colleague and I were quickly shown backstage to get our papers signed.

No one paid any attention to us, including members of Noel's group The High Flying Birds - to say I felt uncomfortable would be an understatement.

It didn't get any better as I was ushered through a door and told to keep my voice down– it turns out Noel was in the room chatting with organisers, Lincs FM.

As I walked past I couldn't help but stare (I'll never get another chance, right?).

He glanced over before carrying on his conversation – I felt cool for a moment, if only briefly, before being shown out of the room.

Fast-forward another hour and he took to the stage greeted by rapturous applause.

What followed was a stellar gig packed full of new songs I didn't know and old classics I've been humming for the last decade.

The Importance of being Idle, Don't Look Back in Anger and yes, Wonderwall, were all performed with confidence and more passion than you'd expect from a 48-year-old who has been doing it for years.

He wasn't stingy with time either, performing more than a dozen songs before he finally left the stage leaving the 200-strong crowd on their feet.

His trademark attitude was also on full display.

He regularly reminded us that it was a free gig and we should be grateful for his time, told us he didn't know where Lincolnshire was before he arrived and jokingly said our Christmas market was naff.

However, the jokes and put downs were all doled out in such a brutally frank fashion you couldn't help but love it.

Everyone at the event knew this was a one-time thing – that Noel might not ever play such a small venue again.

After all, this was a star still at the top of his game, not a once prized race horse stumbling towards retirement.

As I listened to Wonderwall (with my colleague singing into my face) I couldn't help but be impressed.

I still can't say I am his biggest fan but Noel Gallagher has convinced me he's still got it.

Who needs Liam?

Gallery, Setlist And Video: Gem Archer Joins Noel Gallagher On Stage In Lincoln

Below are pictures, setlist and videos from Noel Gallagher's gig in Lincoln yesterday, he was joined on stage by Gem Archer.

I'm not to sure if Gem played the full gig or joined him during the show, but it's fantastic to see him on stage again.

On This Day In Oasis History...

The video below is from December 6th 1994, when Oasis appeared on Later With Jools Holland.

Noel Gallagher Dazzles Lincoln Crowd At Intimate Gig

Noel Gallagher turned in a stellar performance at an intimate gig in Lincoln to delight fans and leave a 200-strong crowd on their feet.

The veteran Oasis star rolled back the years in an impressive display at Bishop Grosseteste University featuring some of his most famous songs.

The hour-long set treated excited competition-winners to classics such as Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger for more than an hour.

The event, which was sponsored by Lincoln College and put together by Lincs FM, saw the 48-year-old poke fun at the crowd every chance he got.

Sean Dunderdale, director of programming at Lincs FM, says he was delighted to bring the superstar to Lincoln.

Speaking after the gig he said: "It was amazing – we have been doing these up close gigs for a few years now and this was the best one of the lot.

"The fact that he did over an hour was fantastic.

"It was great to bring him to Lincoln – we started talking to his management in February.

"We bought Adele to Louth just before she became really famous but Noel is a big star right now.

"I feel ecstatic, it went so well."

Matthew Portess from Barton was blown away.

The 35-year-old said: "It was absolutely awesome – it was a once in a lifetime experience to see Noel play to such a small crowd and be so close up to him.

"I have never seen him before but I was left very impressed.

"Don't Look Back in Anger was my favourite – it made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck."

Neil Newell from Lincoln was left similarly impressed.

The 44-year-old said: "It was very good – I have seen Oasis a couple of times in places like Wembley but I preferred this.

"I was always more of a Liam fan but after tonight I have been convinced."

Paul Gascoigne from Lincoln says he wasn't a big fan before the gig but will be leaving with one of his albums.

The 44-year-old said: "Obviously I have got some Oasis albums but I had not heard any of his newer stuff – but I thought he was superb.

"I came here and did not know what to expect but it was great."

Shane Kelley and Dean Reed, who have been performing in an Oasis tribute act for the last three years, both paid tribute to the singer.

Shane, 40, from Lincoln said: "His music is quality – it is what he says on the tin – great British music."

While Dean, 32, also from Lincoln said: "I think after all these years he is still on top form – his last two albums have been really adventurous and he still has it."

Noel Gallagher Learns About New Music From Paul Weller

Noel Gallagher never listens to the radio but learns about new music from his friend Paul Weller.

The 48-year-old rocker rarely listens to the radio any more so only discovers new artists through his friend, who is obsessed with independent stations.

He said: ''I was doing a festival during the summer and Jamie T was on before me and I didn't know any of Jamie T's stuff apart from 'Zombie', which is a great song and he was f***ing amazing.

''All the time I'm thinking, 'Why do I never hear these songs?' I suppose it's because I don't listen to the radio any more.

''I'm really reliant on Paul Weller. I don't know what he does, he must listen to f***ing independent radio all the time because he's forever on the phone to me all the time saying, 'Have you got this? Check this out, check this out.' ''

However, Noel is never very impressed by his pal's recommendations.

Asked if he is ever recommended anything bad, he told Q magazine: ''All the f***ing time. Most of it is s**t. But he's still getting it in there, do you know what I mean?''

Noel Gallagher On The John Lewis Christmas Advert And More

Noel Gallagher tells Chris Moyles why he's enjoying performing his classic Oasis track more than ever.

Noel Gallagher's Half The World Away might be everywhere at the moment thanks to the John Lewis Christmas ad , but the former Oasis star says he's quite happy to "ram it down people's throats"... maybe at least until it charts anyway.

Speaking to Chris Moyles at the Radio X Road Trip, who asked if he'd be playing the track, he replied: "I'd say as it's getting caned in the charts, I might even play it twice!"

He added: "As I might have a passing interest in it, I might ram it down people's throats until January 1st, and then you might never hear it again."

Noel and his High Flying Birds delighted fans on the Radio X Road Trip with Chris Moyles together with O2.

Playing songs from his eponymous debut and this year's No. 1 Chasing Yesterday album the star treated his fans to an intimate set at the O2 Apollo Manchester on Wednesday 2 December.

As well as playing solo hits in Everybody's On The Run and In The Heat Of The Moment, Gallagher treated fans to a selection of Oasis favourites, including Champagne Supernova, The Masterplan, Don't Look Back In Anger and Definitely Maybe track Digsy's Dinner.

Speaking to Chris Moyles before the show, Noel said of the legendary Manchester venue: "I saw my very first gig here: The Damned in 1979. I saw my second gig here: Stiff Little Fingers. And I saw my fifth gig here, which was U2.

"I used to work in a pet shop over the road. I'm not joking. Tahiti Aquariums, it was called. I used to mend fishtanks."

True to his word, the Ballad Of The Mighty I singer then sang a moving performance of Half The World Away- much to the delight of the crowd.

Noel had support from collaborator, friend and fellow Mancunian Johnny Marr, who treated the crowd to an energetic set, with a sprinkling of The Smiths hits, including Panic, How Soon Is Now and There is A Light That Never Goes Out.

Mr Gallagher continued: "I've never had a bad gig in Manchester. Apart from those three years where we went unnoticed."

Also on the bill were young Scottish band Neon Waltz and Pretty Vicious from Wales.
