The Inspiral roadie gig was probably key to Noel having the confidence to put Oasis together

I spotted Mr Boon recently at the checkout in Aldi, Stockport. No sign of any milk tokens.

I live in a town in Western Montana...one of my friends is Howard from Manchester, I see him every week at a local bar here...Howard was the lead singer of the prog band called Gentleman that was on the So It Goes Show with the Pistols...another patron of the bar was Ric Parnell, who died a few years ago, son of Jack, drummer with Atomic Rooster and the drummer of Spinal Tap ( Ric was Spinal Tap in real life)...I saw Howard on Friday and he still thinks his band were better!
