Noel Gallagher Reveals He Once Gave a Guitar to Oasis Tribute Act Noasis

Noel Gallagher has revealed that he once gave one of his guitars to a member of Oasis tribute act Noasis.

The story emerged during Gallagher’s recent appearance on Chicken Shop Date, where he discussed his reluctance to part with his instruments. Describing himself as a guitar “hoarder”, the former Oasis songwriter said he had nevertheless given some guitars away, including one to a musician who portrayed him in a tribute band.

Gallagher recalled that he had gone to see Noasis perform and was impressed by the show’s sell-out crowd. He subsequently brought a guitar to the band and handed it to the player representing him.

The anecdote adds another small link between Gallagher and the tribute acts that have kept Oasis’ music on stage during the band’s years apart. Noasis had previously spoken about meeting Gallagher after turning up at his home and inviting him to one of their performances.
