Noel Gallagher performs his smallest gig ever exclusively for Radio 1
|
Noel Gallagher will perform his most intimate gig ever in the front room of one
lucky 91Èȱ¬ Radio 1 listener as part of the network's first Live Lounge tour, hosted by
DJ Jo Whiley from Monday 27 November to Friday 1
December.
Ìý
Noel's gig is part of a week of live performances direct from the living rooms of
Britain's top headline acts including Lily Allen, The Kooks, The Ordinary Boys and
Lostprophets.
Ìý
The week will wind up with a once in a lifetime opportunity for one
Radio 1 listener to have Noel Gallagher play exclusively in their own home.
Ìý
Kicking off the week is Lily Allen - whose chart-topping single, Smile,
became one of the most infectious anthems of the summer - performing live from her
houseboat on the River Thames.
Ìý
On Tuesday it's one of the hottest bands of the moment, The Kooks, who will
perform live tracks from their best mate's lounge in London, where they wrote most
of their album.
Ìý
On Wednesday, listeners get a special celebrity double whammy as The
Ordinary Boys perform live tracks from lead singer Preston's house, which he shares
with his wife and Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle.
Ìý
On Thursday Jo hooks up with Welsh rockers Lostprophets as the band perform
live from lead singer Ian's mum's house in Wales.
Ìý
And on Friday, the tour has a very special ending as Noel Gallagher
performs live tracks from the lounge of a Radio 1 competition winner.
Ìý
Jo Whiley said: "We've had so many amazing artists performing in the Live Lounge all
playing their music in a way you just couldn't hear anywhere else which for me is
the magic of it.
Ìý
"Going out on the road is going to be really exciting and I'm
looking forward to hearing the bands play in their own lounge rather than in ours.
Ìý
"To top it all off we've got Noel Gallagher performing in a Radio 1 listener's home
- which for any Oasis fan has got to be the ultimate prize".
