Oasis
The first in a new series of specially designed artworks celebrating historic Oasis gigs from the past. Released 30 years on, and coinciding with the week the band’s World Tour brings them to London once again, this piece commemorates Oasis’ two shows back in Nov 1995 at London’s Earls Court. The event was significant, signalling their arrival on the big stages, and proving to be equally at home playing large arenas as well as the clubs and theatres they’d previously frequented. Earls Court closed as a venue in 2014.

Sometimes when you’re so deep into a subject, you can be underwhelmed by new books or documentaries which cater to audiences that might only have a surface level knowledge of the topic. It has been a long time since I’ve read anything new on Oasis, but Richard’s book has been a pure page-turner, with genuinely fascinating insights from people who were there at the start. I could list 100 facts that have changed my reading of Oasis’ history, but that would be a spoiler. You should really read it yourself!
I also liked the fact that the book paints, I think for the first time in any Oasis biography I’ve read, a genuine picture of the graft it takes to get a band going, even when you’re just playing the Boardwalk as they were. The quotes from people like Mary McGuigan and Tony McCarrol in particular show you they were just kind of doing the band to do something in the early days. And despite the world changing when Noel joined that band, they were pretty unique even without him. Mary makes a bold claim that the band would have made it without Liam, and you can see if vividly in those early chapters. I knew they worked hard, but the book shows with direct eyewitness accounts what that actually meant for the people involved, and really goes into fascinating detail about the band’s lives when they were ‘normal people’! The best insights come about the band’s times working their 9-5s and trying to fit in rehearsals, about their first gigs where no one attended. There’s a lot of stuff here you wouldn’t find in biographies that perhaps pander to the band’s publicists and management. There’s nothing overtly critical, but it’s great to get a balanced read on how they were in the early days, and a more detailed insight into the fundamental influence of The Real People and people like Tim Abbot and Brian Cannon. There were also times in those early days when the were seen as just a decent, very loud, local Rock ‘n’ Roll band and not much more. Hard to imagine now when they’re playing gigs recently and people are crying at just seeing them onstage!
As the book goes on, you get a sense of familiarity with the band as people, not only as a collective. I think this has changed how I viewed the band, despite reading pretty much every book or feature that has been published on them over the years. Also brilliant is the insight into the later years of the band and the solo years. You can’t get away from the sensation in retrospect that this was a band trying to find their way a bit once Guigsy and Bonehead left, and it wasn’t really until 2005 when they found their identity again. You feel they could have been onto something great in that second incarnation of the group, but in-fighting again disrupted the plans and ultimately killed the band, seemingly for good. There’s great insight into the solo years, something again which is hugely significant to the band’s history now they’ve reformed.
I’ve said for years it’s a shame how little has been written about Oasis and how generic the accounts generally are, focussing on King Tuts, the Blur rivalry, and Be Here Now fall out, then not much else. I feel this book could be the start of something important for Oasis fan culture, and really should be developed further. I could see the author, Richard Bowes becoming to Oasis what Mark Lewisohn is to The Beatles. The band could do worse than let him into their archive and add more depth to their story.
If you’re going to read a new Oasis book this summer, for all the great stuff that’s come out (special mention again to ‘A Sound So Very Loud’ and John Robb’s new book), but for real fans, this is the one to start with. Really hope this is the first of many from the author.
One Oasis Book To Rule Them All
We’ve been pretty lucky with Oasis books this summer with the current Oasis cultural boom being enjoyed by seemingly the whole of the UK at the moment! It’s a bit like when you support a rubbish football team, and suddenly they’re in the Premier League and winning every week! When I saw all the new books and magazine retrospectives that were scheduled to come out I thought I’d look at a few but presumed it was all going to be history I knew well. I really enjoyed ‘A Sound So Very Loud’ by Ted Kessler and Hamish MacBain and didn’t think anything could top that until I started ‘Some Might Say: The Story Of Oasis – The Official Book Of The Oasis Podcast’, the new biography slash oral history from Richard Bowes. With every page, I found myself thinking this book may have been written specifically for me. It’s the first book by a genuine fan, for genuine fans, and for me the most informative Oasis book I’ve read since I was a teenager.
Sometimes when you’re so deep into a subject, you can be underwhelmed by new books or documentaries which cater to audiences that might only have a surface level knowledge of the topic. It has been a long time since I’ve read anything new on Oasis, but Richard’s book has been a pure page-turner, with genuinely fascinating insights from people who were there at the start.

Oasis
‘It’s been an honour to have been associated with Jill for 30 years’ Noel Gallagher
New Book From Jill Furmanovsky 'Oasis: Trying To Find A Way Out Of Nowhere'
‘It’s been an honour to have been associated with Jill for 30 years’ Noel Gallagher
‘If you look at Jill’s Oasis photographs they form one of the great essays in the history of photography’ Gail Buckland, author, curator, photo-historian
Dramatic, iconic, tumultuous: this is the story of Oasis, as seen through the lens of legendary photographer Jill Furmanovsky and edited by Noel Gallagher.
Jill has been documenting the phenomenon that is Oasis since 1994 and the Definitely Maybe tour, through the tense and difficult shows for Dig Out Your Soul in 2009 and, following a hiatus, to a new beginning in 2025.
Featuring more than 500 exceptional photographs from her archive, this book includes acclaimed and classic shots alongside swathes of candid, behind-the-scenes images, many of which are published here for the very first time.
With unprecedented access, Jill was able to capture strikingly emotive images, recording the band’s raw energy, humour and – at times – their vulnerability. ‘Oasis permitted closeness,’ she commented, ‘and that was a great gift to me as a photographer.’
Weaving sequences together to craft stories and stitch montages, the book brings you right into the room with the musicians. Noel’s foreword is followed by an introduction by Jill, while three expansive pieces by acclaimed author Simon Spence, publicist and writer Johnny Hopkins and music columnist and novelist Laura Barton chart Oasis’s early, mid and late eras. Jill and Noel’s reflections, alongside the photos, give the inside track on key moments, revealing the intimate friendship between band and photographer and reminding us of a remarkable era in music history, right to the edge of their 2025 reunion tour.
This is a book to treasure long after the final encore.
The book is released on September 23rd the cheapest place I can find for an order is amazon.co.uk
