Noel Gallagher to debate himself at Xfm charity event
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 30 September 2014
Noel Gallagher will on 3 Nov lead a live, Xfm-presented Q&A event centring on… well, himself, a topic on which he, if anyone, is the world’s #1 authority.
Taking place at the Hammersmith Club in London, this “WORLD FIRST” has been arranged in order to raise “a few bob for the kids” of Make Some Noise, Global Radio’s national children’s and young people’s charity.
Gallagher and a team of biz insiders – like Alan McGee, Nicky Wire and Shortlist magazine’s dep ed Hamish McBain, for instance – will all sit in on the ‘in conversation with’-style affair to look back on Noel’s life and times ‘in rock’, from his Oasis days, to the rise-and-drop of 1990s Britpop, and his doings with his new band, the High Flying Birds.
Tooting his horn ahead of the big night, NG says: “Having rarely stopped blowing my own trumpet since April 1994, it’ll come as no surprise I jumped at the chance to let the people catch me at it again, so to speak, while at the same time raising a few bob for the kids. It’ll be a pleasure”.
Xfm’s Managing Editor Chris Baughen, meanwhile, adds: “We all know how great Noel’s music is but I think we sometimes forget just how much he’s packed into the past 20 years, and the impact he’s had on a generation. This unique night will allow us to hear some of the stories behind one of the biggest bands, and one of the greatest songwriters in the world”.
Tickets to ‘An Evening With Noel Gallagher’ cost from £40 to £100, and will go on sale this Wednesday, here, with all profits going to Make Some Noise.
