Mick Hucknall has risked reopening a war of words with Oasis after claiming the Gallagher brothers have made northerners look like a “cliché”
In an interview for the new edition of Q, out on November 25, the Simply Red star accused Noel Gallagher of making the north “sound stupid”.
His comments come after the dust had settled on a ten-year-old dispute between the Hucknall and Oasis which saw the singer brand Noel “a dickhead” in an interview and reportedly led to a scuffle with Liam.
But in the interview for Q’s regular “A Round With ….” Feature, Hucknall revisits their feud. Asked if he had seen the footage of Noel being attacked on stage in Toronto, Hucknall said: “No. Was that for making the North sound stupid?”
Asked to explain, he added: “I think it’s fair comment. I love that Harry Enfield sketch when [Kathy Burke as Perry] comes back from a weekend in Manchester walking like this [affects cocky Liam Gallagher gait] and goes, ‘F***kin’ sound. Bangin’!’. They’ve made a cliché out of presenting Northerners, especially Mancunians, like that.”
