Inspiral Carpets have announced a 2023 UK Tour.

Noel gallagher's life in photos, including roadying for inspiral carpets:, noel, paul, liam and peggy gallagher in 1974.

Noel Thomas David Gallagher was born in Longsight, Manchester on 29th May 1967. He was the middle child of Peggy (née Sweeney) and Thomas Gallagher and was born two years after older sibling Paul. Their younger sibling William John Paul Gallagher (Liam) was born five years after Noel in September 1972. Pictured are the three Gallagher brothers with mum Peggy in 1974.

Noel Gallagher's childhood home

Soon after Liam's birth, the Gallaghers moved to Ashby Avenue and then to Cranwell Drive in Burnage (pictured). With a violent and alcoholic father, Noel and his brothers had an unhappy childhood before mum Peggy left Thomas in 1982 with her three children. In his teenage years, Noel was expelled from school for throwing flour on a teacher and he received six months' probation for robbing a corner shop alongside a friend – something he later admitted was a "very stupid thing to do."

Noel Gallagher's hero Johnny Marr with Morrissey

Noel Gallagher found salvation from his brush with the law through music. He taught himself to play guitar and witnessing The Smiths on Top of the Pops in 1983 proved to be a pivotal moment in his life. Noel noted in 2007: "I remember seeing The Smiths on Top Of The Pops, and I don't mean this in a sycophantic way, but I wanted to be Johnny Marr. He had the Brian Jones haircut, the turtleneck, and the big red semi-acoustic guitar and he was cool as f---."

Noel Gallagher at the Hacienda

Noel Gallagher at the legendary Hacienda nightclub in Manchester in 1989. He later said that the unity and togetherness of the acid house scene "changed my life." During the late 1980s he spent many years unemployed, however for a short period he did land a job at British Gas in the company's storehouse where he spent time writing songs, including an embryonic version of Oasis' future anthem 'Live Forever.'

Noel Gallagher the Inspiral Carpets roadie

In 1988, Noel Gallagher formed a friendship with Inspiral Carpets guitarist Graham Lambert after they met at a Stone Roses show. Noel unsuccessfully applied to become their lead singer in 1989 – losing out to Tom Hingley – but became a roadie for the band over the next three years alongside van driver Mark Collins, who later joined The Charlatans. Pictured is Noel setting up for the Inspiral Carpets in Manchester in the early 90s.

Noel Gallagher becomes 'The Chief' of Oasis

With Noel on the road with Inspiral Carpets, younger brother Liam joined a band called The Rain alongside founding members Paul McGuigan (bass), Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs (guitars), Tony McCarroll (drums). Upon the suggestion of Liam, the band changed their name to Oasis after Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon. Noel approached Oasis and asked to become their leader and songwriter – hence his nickname The Chief – and brought a cavalcade of songs and ideas with him. The rest, they say, is history.

Oasis signed to Creation Records

Oasis spent the next year finely honing their craft and in spring 1993 recorded the 8-song demo tape Live Demonstration featuring raw versions of future Oasis classics including 'Rock N' Roll Star'. Ahead of the demo's release, Oasis drove six hours to play a gig at Glasgow King Tut's in May 1993 where, unbeknownst to them, Creation Records boss Alan McGee was in attendance. He signed Oasis on the spot. Pictured is Noel Gallagher on stage at The Water Rats in London in January 1994.

Noel Gallagher writes Oasis' debut album 'Definitely Maybe'

Featuring 11 songs all penned by Noel Gallagher, including 'Supersonic', 'Shakermaker', 'Live Forever' and 'Cigarettes & Alcohol', Oasis' seminal debut album 'Definitely Maybe' was released in 1994 and it became the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time. Not just one of the greatest albums of the Britpop era, it's also one of the finest records of all time.

Noel Gallagher with Liam in 1995

Noel Gallagher and his younger brother Liam in June 1995 shortly before the release of Oasis' second album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?'. Featuring timeless Noel-penned anthems incluing 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova', the album has sold more than 22 million units globally including a phenomenal 4.7 million in the UK alone.

Noel Gallagher performs at Maine Road with Oasis

Six months after the release of their blockbuster second studio album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?', Oasis played two colossal concerts at Maine Road stadium – home of Noel and Liam's beloved Manchester City – on 27th and 28th April 1996. Noel commented in 2019: "They were amazing gigs and it will never be repeated."

'This is history!' - Oasis rock Knebworth

Oasis arguably reached the zenith of their popularity in August 1996 when they played to 80,000 people over two nights at Loch Lomond in Scotland, and a historic 250,000 fans at their two Knebworth House mega-concerts. Noel famously said on stage at Knebworth: "This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history!" He wasn't wrong.

Noel Gallagher marries Meg Mathews

Noel Gallagher married Meg Mathews in June 1997 and they had one daughter together, Anaïs Gallagher, who was born in January 2000. The couple divorced in 2001.

Oasis release 'Be Here Now'

Oasis' third album 'Be Here Now' was a record-breaker in August 1997, selling a whopping 813,000 in its first seven days in the UK. Noel later stated that the success of predecessor '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' had an adverse effect on the follow-up record, saying: "I started to overthink it." He also said 'Be Here Now's popularity didn't indicate it was a great album, explaining: "Just because you sell lots of records, it doesn't mean to say you're any good. Look at Phil Collins."

Noel Gallagher quits drugs

As detailed in the 2000 Oasis song 'Gas Panic!', Noel Gallagher suffered "serious panic attacks" in the late 90s brought on by his debauched party lifestyle. He quit drugs in June 1998.

Oasis announce departure of Guigsy and Bonehead

In August 1999, Noel and Liam Gallagher held a press conference (pictured) to announce that co-founding Oasis members Guigsy and Bonehead had left the band. Noel duly played all the guitar parts on Oasis' fourth studio album 'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants' in 2000 before Gem Archer was recruited to replace Bonehead. Andy Bell later joined on bass. Notably, 'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants' was the first Oasis record not to be written entirely by Noel, with Liam penning the track 'Little James'.

Oasis release 'Heathen Chemistry'

Noel Gallagher relinquished the songwriting baton yet further on July 2002's 'Heathen Chemistry' with Liam Gallagher penning three songs, and Gem Archer and Andy Bell a song apiece. Noel was responsible for two of the record's standout tunes, however – 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' and 'Little by Little.'

Oasis' final two albums

Oasis final two studio albums – 2005's 'Don't Believe the Truth' and 2008's 'Dig Out Your Soul' – were much more warmly received than their two predecessors and heralded by some as the band's finest material in a decade.

Noel Gallagher quits Oasis

Oasis officially split up in August 2009 when Noel Gallagher quit then band following a back stage altercation with Liam at the Rock en Siene festival in Paris. Noel wrote on Oasis' website: "It is with some sadness and great relief...I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."

Noel Gallagher marries Sara MacDonald

After a decade together, Noel Gallagher married Sara MacDonald in June 2011 at the Lime Wood Hotel in New Forest National Park with Russell Brand serving as best man. They have two children together - Donovan Rory MacDonald Gallagher who was born in September 2007, Sonny Patrick MacDonald Gallagher, born in October 2010.

Noel Gallagher launches Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Noel Gallagher formally announced his solo project Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds to the world at a press conference in London in July 2011. Lauded by critics, the band's self-titled album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' was released in October 2011 and it stormed straight in at Number 1 in the UK and went on to sell more than 800,000 copies. It spawned anthems including 'AKA... What a Life!', 'Dream On' and 'Everybody's on the Run' and it was an emphatic return to the fore for Noel.

Noel Gallagher honoured by Peter Blake

In 2012, Noel Gallagher featured on an updated version of The Beatles' famous 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' album cover by pop artist Peter Blake. Titled Vintage Blake, the piece marked Blake's 80th birthday and it depicts Noel playing his Union Jack guitar alongside Amy Winehouse, Paul Weller, Mick Jagger, Ian Curtis ang many other music legends. Noel told the BBC: "I was lucky enough to go down to his studio. We were fans and all the props were still there from the 'Sgt. Pepper' photo shoot."

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds played the penultimate Main Stage slot on the Sunday night before headliners Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. Seven years later, Noel would step up to headliner.

Noel Gallagher becomes friends with Damon Albarn

Two decades on from Blur and Oasis' infamous caustic rivalry, in the 2010s Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn became close friends. Noel joined forces with Albarn, Graham Coxon, and Paul Weller to perform Blur's 'Tender' at a Teenage Cancer Trust Royal Albert Hall show in March 2013, and in 2017 Noel sang backing vocals on the Gorillaz song 'We Got The Power.'

Noel Gallagher performs intimate gig for Absolute Radio

Following the release of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Bird's second studio album 'Chasing Yesterday', Noel performed an exclusive concert for Absolute Radio at the ultra-intimate Rivoli Ballroom in London. The 12 song set was dominated by Noel's incredible solo material but culminated with a poignant rendition of Oasis' 'The Masterplan.'

Noel Gallagher joins forces with David Holmes

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds have gone on to release two more chart-topping studio albums – 2015's 'Chasing Yesterday' and 2017's 'Who Built the Moon?'. Speaking to Absolute Radio in 2021 , Noel said that making the critically lauded 'Who Built the Moon?' with producer David Holmes is the standout moment of his solo career so far. Noel told us: "It turned everything that I've ever done, and everything that I do, and the way that I do it, upside down, and threw it all up in the air. We came up with something completely different."

Noel Gallagher headlines Isle of Wight Festival

Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds headlined the Friday night of Isle of Wight Festival 2019. The first half the Noel's triumphant headline performance was dominated by sublime solo tracks, but the set truly peaked when Noel launched into Oasis' 'Wonderwall', 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out', 'Half the World Away' and 'Don't Look Back In Anger' before he closed with a cover of The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love'. Stunning.

Noel Gallagher releases best-of album

Celebrating a decade of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, the band's best-of album 'Back the Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011–2021)' is released on 11th June 2021.

New single 'Pretty Boy' featuring Johnny Marr

Noel Gallagher and his band of High Flying Birds premiered their new song 'Pretty Boy' featuring guitar from Smiths legend Johnny Marr in October 2022. Stamped with Noel Gallagher's indelible musical imprint throughout its hypnotic five minutes, 'Pretty Boy' is the first taster of NGHFB's upcoming fourth studio album, which lands in 2023.

Fourth High Flying Birds album 'Council Skies'

Released on Friday 2nd June 2023, 'Council Skies' features 10 tracks including the singles 'Pretty Boy' and 'Easy Now.' Noel Gallagher explains that 'Council Skies' harks back to the early 90s before he achieved global fame as the guitarist and songwriter with Oasis. "It's going back to the beginning," Noel says. "Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could be… that's as true to me now as it was in the early '90s. When I was growing up in poverty and unemployment, music took me out of that." He added: "Top Of The Pops on TV transformed your Thursday night into this fantasy world, and that's what I think music should be. I want my music to be elevating and transforming in some way."

The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2015 shortly after the death of their friend and drummer

The group, who were an integral part of the Madchester movement, are heading out for their first live shows since 2015.

The tour will, of course, include a date in their home city here in Manchester , where they will perform at the Albert Hall.

Their keyboard player Clint Boon is a familiar face on Manchester’s music and nightlife circuit, DJing at venues and festivals across the region.

The group last performed at the Leeds O2 Academy, but went on an indefinite hiatus after the death of their close friend and drummer Craig Gill.

A statement from the group said: “Craig’s death had a profound effect on many people.

“The outpouring of love from around the world at the time gave some comfort to his family and friends as we all tried to come to terms with what had happened.”

• Factory International in talks to sell naming rights to £210m arts complex to help fund rising costs
• Andy Burnham says government is in ‘chaos’ and calls for early general election

The shows will both celebrate the band’s history and commemorate the life of Craig.

They continued: “We know this will be an emotional journey for a lot of people, not least Craig’s family.

“We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate some of the music we created, and which has brought so much joy to people over the last 34 years.”

The Co-op Live has announced it is postponing both The Black Keys gig and Peter Kay’s performance.

Both shows were set to take place this week as the huge arena finally opens in Manchester.

This is the second time Peter Kay has been rescheduled – the show was meant to officially open the venue earlier this week.

Co-op Live went ahead with a test event with Rick Astley last Saturday, albeit with a capacity that was reduced at the eleventh hour.

But the huge venue was hit with ‘power supply issues’ and took the ‘difficult decision’ to postpone Peter Kay.

It’s now gone one step further and pushed back The Black Keys – meant to be their first proper live music event – as well as Peter Kay AGAIN.

In a statement shared today, the Co-op Live said it has been ‘undertaking an extensive protocol of testing critical procedures to ensure all areas are ready for fans’.

It said that the shows are being rescheduled to ensure they can ‘run safely’.

The 23,500-capacity arena said this will give them ‘the extra time we need to continue testing enhanced emergency communications thoroughly’.

The Black Keys will now perform on 15 May, and Peter Kay on 23 and 24 May.

As for the Bolton -born comedian, he sounds somewhat in disbelief himself:

My apologies once again but unfortunately the Co-op Live still isn’t ready and so, as yet, remains untested for a large-scale audience. Consequently, they are having to reschedule my two shows yet again (I know I can’t believe it either). Read the full statement below. pic.twitter.com/QgiIdiNVlu — Peter Kay (@peterkay_co_uk) April 26, 2024

Co-op Live’s statement reads: “Since making the difficult decision to postpone the live shows at Co-op Live due to take place this week, we have been undertaking an extensive protocol of testing critical procedures to ensure all areas are ready for fans.

“To ensure that we can run all shows safely, regretfully we have now had to take the decision to reschedule the planned The Black Keys and Peter Kay shows.

“Both The Black Keys and Peter Kay have graciously agreed to reschedule their shows. The Black Keys will now perform on 15 May 2024, and Peter Kay will now perform on 23 and 24 May 2024.

“All tickets remain valid and ticket holders will be contacted by their point of purchase. Refunds will be available for those who can no longer attend.

“We deeply appreciate the impact this will have on excited fans, and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience that this change will undoubtedly cause.

“Rescheduling Peter Kay and The Black Keys will give us the extra time we need to continue testing enhanced emergency communications thoroughly.

“This is vital to satisfy the rigorous set of guidelines and protocols that are necessary for a venue of this size to ensure that our fans, artists and staff have the safest experience possible.”

The boss of Co-op Live, Manchester’s enormous, ground-breaking new arena, has resigned from his position just days before the venue is set to open.

The enormous music-first arena has been taking shape beside the Etihad Stadium for several years, and was due to welcome its first official audiences this week, but has been hit with last-minute challenges.

And now Co-op Live ‘s boss Gary Roden has quit the mammoth project, with the news of his resignation announced late Thursday evening.

Oak View Group, which Co-op Live is part of, said in a statement that they would like to ‘thank Gary for his help bringing the UK’s newest arena to live entertainment fans’.

Stepping into his shoes as interim general manager will be Rebecca Kane Burton, who previously ran the U.K.’s highest-grossing venue, London’s The O2 arena.

Gary has previously come under fire for saying that some grassroots music venues ‘poorly run’ – a statement that OVG has now distanced itself from.

A separate statement said that ‘neither Co-op Live nor Oak View Group share the sentiment expressed by former Co-op Live General Manager Gary Roden regarding the grassroots industry’.

It continued: “As OVG Chairman and CEO Tim Leiweke has repeatedly stated, Co-op Live remains committed to grassroots music in Manchester and beyond, including teaming up with Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham on the Artist of the Month campaign, and as a founding partner of Beyond The Music.

“Co-op Live also donates over £1m a year to the Co-op Foundation to support communities and empower young people to take social action through its new Young Gamechangers fund.

“Oak View Group and Co-op Live remain happy to meet with grassroots organisations once the venue is fully operational.”

The news of the venue’s boss stepping down comes at a time when all eyes are on Co-op Live, the opening of which has been delayed.

The Co-op Live’s opening event – two nights with Bolton comic legend Peter Kay – was pushed back due to ‘power supply issues’.

The venue did host a test event with Rick Astley last weekend, but even that faced difficulties, with thousands of tickets cancelled to reduce capacity just hours before showtime.

It’s now set to officially open this Saturday 27 April with a performance by rock group The Black Keys.

The full statement from OVG about Gary’s resignation said: “Gary Roden has decided to resign. We’d like to thank Gary for his help bringing the UK’s newest arena to live entertainment fans and wish him the best for the future.

“Rebecca Kane Burton has been named Interim GM, effective today. Rebecca is a seasoned veteran of venue management and live entertainment in the UK having served as VP/GM of The O2 from 2012-2016 and CEO of LW Theatres from 2016-2021.

“We are focused on opening Co-op Live.”

After coming through a really difficult time as a band we now feel ready to return and give the best fans in the world what they have been calling for. We couldn’t stay away forever.

A vital component of the infamous ‘Madchester’ movement,  Inspiral Carpets formed in Oldham in 1980. With 3 Top 10 albums (‘Life’, ‘The Beast Inside’ and ‘The Revenge of the Goldfish’) and 11 Top 40 hit singles to their name including ‘This Is How It Feels’, ‘Saturn 5’, ‘Move’, ‘Caravan’ and ‘She Comes in the Fall’, they remain one of the era’s most celebrated and enduring acts.

Much-loved not only in Manchester but all across the UK, Inspiral Carpets last took to the stage in 2015 at Leeds O2 Academy – a venue they will return to for the first time since on Saturday 8th April next year. Following the tragic loss of their close friend and drummer, Craig Gill, a year later, they went on an indefinite hiatus.

“ Craig’s death had a profound effect on many people. The outpouring of love from around the world at the time gave some comfort to his family and friends as we all tried to come to terms with what had happened ” The band say.

On the news of their 2023 reunion tour, the band are keen to emphasise the celebratory nature of the forthcoming live shows, giving fans a chance to sing along to their favourite hits and commemorate the life of Craig.

As the band add:

“ We know this will be an emotional journey for a lot of people, not least Craig’s family. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate some of the music we created, and which has brought so much joy to people over the last 34 years. ”

Inspiral Carpets Announce 2023 Greatest Hits Tour – Their First Australian Shows in 30 Years

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

30 years since they last visited the country, influential Madchester outfit Inspiral Carpets have announced their return to Australia. The veteran English group will celebrate their 40th anniversary with a national tour throughout July and August 2023.

Inspiral Carpets formed in 1983 and rose to prominence later in the decade alongside contemporaneous Mancunian acts The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays . They released their critically-acclaimed debut album, Life , in 1990 and their second, The Beast Inside , in 1991. The band’s one and only Australian tour came in 1993, by which time they’d released their third album, 1992’s Revenge Of The Goldfish .

Inspiral Carpets – ‘This Is How It Feels’

Inspiral Carpets released their fourth album, Devil Hopping, in 1994 but were dropped by their label, Mute Records, in 1995 and split up shortly thereafter. The classic lineup of vocalist Tom Hingley, guitarist Graham Lambert, keyboardist Clint Boon, bass player Martyn Walsh and drummer Craig Gill got back together in 2003 for a couple of UK tours.

Original vocalist Stephen Holt replaced Hingley in 2011 and the Carpets released their fifth album, Inspiral Carpets, in 2014. The band parted ways again in 2016 following Gill’s death at the age of 44. Lambert, Boon and Holt will be joined on the upcoming Australian tour by drummer Kev Clark and bass player Jake Fletcher.
