Hailing from Manchester, Oasis took the world by storm in the 90s, with their second album (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? going on to become one of the most successful and influential records of all time-spurred on by the massive hit “Wonderwall.” The band quickly drew comparisons to The Beatles, who the band routinely cited as being primary influences on their sound, style and song writing.

And Gallagher is no stranger to teaming up with his hero-McCartney having joined him and Paul Weller for a cover of The Beatles’ song “Come Together” and then again when Gallagher’s High Flying Birds performed with the legendary musician for his daughter Stella’s 50th birthday. Now, Gallagher has expressed his wish to join a supergroup project with the two remaining members of what many consider to be the greatest rock band of all time.

Gallagher said about being in a supergroup, “I don’t know if I would start one. Who would I like to be in a supergroup with? I could be in a band with [Paul] Weller and I could be in a band with Johnny [Marr], easily. Playing the bass…Ringo and Macca would be fucking great. Imagine being in a band with Ringo and Macca.Who’s singing? Everyone. I’d fucking pay to be in it. Get me [promoter] Harvey Goldsmith.”

The guitarist has steadfastly stuck to the opinion that The Beatles retain the most significant impact that has been on rock n roll music, saying last year that the Liverpool four have always been a level above their peers, providing the most culturally significant songs out of all. Although Gallagher has never spoken to any member of The Beatles about songwriting, the musician feels that McCartney and company are a cut above everyone else in the business-having written songs that still resonate to this day.

Gallagher has recently been in the news for admitting that he struggles to remember lyrics to his hit songs while performing them live. He even went so far as to reveal that he would be open to using a teleprompter at some point in the future to help him through songs that he has forgotten.

Gallagher will be hitting the road in the UK in December, embarking on an arena tour with his band High Flying Birds. Tickets can be found here.

During the last broadcast, they reached nearly 6,000 listeners. This time, they want to break 10,000. They encouraged to “click “Going” on the event page and like, comment and share with all your Oasis-loving mates.”

If this sounds right up your street, then head on over to this link to log in on the night. Jon explained what listeners could expect from the original gig in March.

“You’ll go to an indie night and hear an Oasis song or two, but it’s always going to be the same songs. ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’, ‘Rock n Roll Star’ and maybe even ‘Supersonic’.” he said, describing the night as “an exciting opportunity to play those tracks you don’t hear so much.”

So, to Oasis fanatics out there, if you’re bored Friday night, you know what to do.

Oasis were joined by other British legends such as The Verve, Arctic Monkeys, and The Stone Roses.

Featured on Music-news Noel Gallagher said:

“What can I say? The people have spoken. The fact that there wasn’t one single NGHFB song in the top 20 makes me think the whole thing is a mockery of an unreliable sham! Saying that though, I’m thrilled. Thanks for voting. ONWARDS.”

Chris Baughen, managing editor of Radio X, added:

“Just six months on from the launch of Radio X, we asked our listeners to vote for their favourite records in the first ever Best of British poll, and they have spoken in their thousands. In fact we received more than 50,000 votes in just over two weeks showing how much our listeners love British music.”

‘Wonderwall’, part of the fundamental track list that made Oasis’ second album, (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, released in 1995 this album followed the legendary debut Definitely Maybe.

Covered by The Mike Flowers Pops a year later it also featured in the 1997 movie The Jackal. ‘Wonderwall’ has been covered by a number of artists over the years and will continue to prove to be an ultimate British song for years to come.
