Noel Gallagher shares his musical milestones with Matt Everitt in a programme first broadcast in 2015.
He remembers his first exposure to music including Irish acts such as Dermot Hegarty and Big Tom & the Mainliners, and the way football terrace anthems inspired him. Other early influences were The Beatles, The Sex Pistols and The Dammed plus his passion for the 'holy trinity' of The Smiths, Stone Roses and The Jam.
He looks back on the very first Oasis rehearsal 'mind-blowing' and the difficult birth of their debut album Definitely Maybe. He also recalls his visit to Paul McCartney's meditation bubble, what it's like becoming so famous that when you get a haircut it ends up on the front pages of the tabloids, as well as realizing that Oasis had reached the end of the road and his feelings about becoming a solo artist.
