Back when the Noel-curated line-up for this years Teenage Cancer Trust shows was announced, it was suggested the former Oasis man could share a stage with his one time Britpop enemies Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon – and that’s exactly what happened at the Royal Albert Hall last night. Watch the fan-shot video of Noel, […]

Oasis exhibition of rare photos and memorabilia announced
So yeah, that ‘Chasing The Sun’ announcement from a couple of weeks ago was a bit underwhelming – but today we’ve found out there’s more to this whole 20th anniversary thing than just a bunch of reissues. ‘Chasing The Sun: Oasis 1993 – 1997’ is a free exhibition running from 11-22 April at Londonnewcastle Project Space […]
Top 10 acoustic guitar songs – ever!
I had the idea to do a post about the best acoustic guitar songs and thought it would be fun to try and put together a list of my favourites. As soon as I started though, the ‘fun’ turned to despair as I had to start choosing which classics to include and which to leave out. It’s not easy, trust me!
After much deliberation, here’s my list of the best acoustic guitar songs ever recorded. Some aren’t strictly acoustic, but they’re all heavily-reliant on an acoustic guitar.
I’d love to know what you guys think so leave your suggestions in the comments at the bottom and maybe we can start building a bigger list.

Bands That Just Couldn’t Get Along
You hear about it all the time in celebrity news: bands that are fighting or arguing. These reports are usually accompanied by rumours of whether or not they’ll break up. For the most part the band members work things out and continue with their careers. But sometimes years of infighting forces a band to implode […]
Oasis ‘Time Flies… 1994-2009’ – Album Review
After 15 years at the top, the Manchester legends release their swan-song – a 27-song tour through their biggest hits. But is it really needed?

The best music videos on YouTube
YouTube has been the catalyst for the biggest shift in the way we consume music. No longer are we satisfied with the sterile, nicely packaged singles and albums our favourite pop stars hand down to us – we want to see them up close and personal outside of their PR bubble. To that end we […]
Oasis reunion rumours – Noel Gallagher says ‘it definitely won’t happen’
As befits a man as eminently quotable as Noel Gallagher, the Oasis man has weighed in on the current reunion rumours by saying quite matter-of-factly that ‘it definitely won’t happen’. Noel made the statement while appearing on Andy Goldstein’s talkSPORT radio show, where he also revealed he has a second solo album in the works, […]
Oasis to reform for Glastonbury 2014 – definitely? Or maybe?
Bookmakers have lowered the odds on Oasis reforming to headline next year’s Glastonbury for the 20th anniversary of their debut album, and on producing an album of original material by the end of 2015. Liam Gallagher has said that he would be up for a gig, and that he would even do it “for now” […]
Oasis albums will soon be available on Spotify
Despite the growing popularity and influence of Spotify on the music industry, there are still a few bands holding out on the music streaming service. Slowly but surely though, the ‘hold-outs’ are coming to an end. Most recently Pink Floyd ‘unlocked’ their entire back catalogue on Spotify once their track ‘Wish You Were Here’ had […]
Album review – ‘Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds album review [rating:3/5] Right then, we finally get to hear what the solo album from arguably the best songwriter of his generation sounds like, and the initial reaction is one of…… disappointment.
