Liam Makes Surprise Charity Appearance

Rock superstar Liam Gallagher made a surprise appearance at a north-east charity event before his band Oasis played two nights in Aberdeen.

The band played at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre on Saturday and Sunday, but they stayed at the Marcliffe at Pitfodels hotel last Friday, where a dinner was being held for north-east cancer charity Clan.

Mr Gallagher talked to guests, and made a speech adding his support.

Clan’s managing director Debbie Thomson said: “Mr Gallagher’s impromptu visit really enthused the audience. The event as a whole was a great success with some fantastic entertainment, and an appearance from someone with as high a profile as Liam Gallagher was just the icing on the cake.

“His best wishes for our fundraising were also greatly appreciated, particularly as our cause is so close to his heart after a cancer-related death in his family.”

The dinner – hosted by Aberdeenshire-based company RB Farquhar – raised more than £40,000 towards Clan’s target of £3million for a new centre and also included entertainment from comedian David Copperfield.
