OASIS LIVE..IN OUR LIVING ROOM IN CHESHIRE!
By Patrick Mulchrone
IT certainly wasn't the biggest venue Noel Gallagher has ever played - but it was probably the cosiest.
The Oasis superstar gave a Wonderwall-to-wall performance yesterday ... in fan Ben Haynes's LIVING ROOM at Poynton, Cheshire.
Ben, 22, sat spellbound on a couch with his mum and dad and the rest of his family as Noel strummed some of the band's greatest hits.

"I just couldn't believe it was really happening," said Ben, who won the personal gig of a lifetime in a Radio 1 competition and was interviewed by DJs Jo Whiley and Chris Moyles.
"It was a totally amazing experience. We were all chatting to him and he was really nice."
With just an acoustic guitar, Noel played Half The World Away - theme tune to TV's The Royle Family - The Importance of Being Idle and Don't Look Back in Anger. His surprise performance from the Haynes's household was broadcast to millions of Radio 1 listeners.
Ben - a chef at Selfridges in Manchester - has seen Oasis live nine times. He won the chance to entertain one of his heroes at home by remembering which song Noel's brother Liam played live on air when he popped in to Radio 1 in 2003. He gave the answer Songbird, then had to say why Noel should play his lounge.
"I just explained that I was one of Oasis's biggest fans," said Ben. "I can't really remember what else I said - but it obviously worked. I was gobsmacked when Noel turned up on the doorstep."

Do people in the UK use the term "living room" nowadays? Growing up in eastern Canada 25 years ago we always called it the "front room". I always thought that was a result of our Commonwealth linkage. It certainly set us apart from Americans and their "living rooms". Just curious...  Where's Novascotialad? Maybe he can back me up! |

Oops! Well I'm just about to turn 32. I'm from Halifax originally - as is all of my family. I grew up as a military brat so my family lived just about everywhere. Perhaps my family was just weird about the front room thing. How about the thing you sat on in the living room? Was it a chesterfield?  |

intresting question. But, for me, I always called it a living room. Then I met now, an xgf and she always called it a front room and it kinda stuck to me, I got back an forth on them both.

We use the term "living room". It would be a dream to see Noel &/or all of Oasis in such an intimate environment. Not sure I'd want it as invimate as my living room, but I wouldn't be picky. Thanks for posting the review! |
