Noel Gallagher played to a packed out crowd in an idyllic forest in Cheshire last night who were hanging on his every word. There are few artists out there that could pull off decades-old music as confidently as he can.
Noel has crafted a great career post-Oasis and his new style was on full display, as songs from his newest albums and EPs were greeted gleefully. We’re on our Way Now could slide into any Oasis album and Black Star Dancing is a great David Bowie influenced tune that shows his evolution since his split with Liam nearly 13 years ago, and I’m a big fan of this.
But Noel isn’t daft and he knows legions of fans have come to hear the hits. “We’re playing some stuff from the new album then it’ll be hit after hit after hit,” he says. And this it was. His Manc humour on great display throughout.
