Noel Gallagher Recruits Sergeant For Glasgow Tour Gigs

Sergeant are preparing for the biggest gigs of their lives after Noel Gallagher demanded they support Oasis at the SECC on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Gallagher is a fan of the Fife outfit and gave his manager their CD, insisting: "Get me this band."

Sergeant singer Nick Mercer said: "We are so excited, totally buzzing.

We are massive fans of Oasis.

"The fact Noel asked specifically for us means he wants us for the music. To be pinpointed by Noel is amazing. We feel brilliant knowing he listens to our CD and is buzzing off it the way we buzz off his tunes."

Nick hopes the Gallaghers will watch his band's performances because the pressure will bring out the best in them.

He said: "We are at our best under pressure. We are on a roll right now and we will nail it, especially if they are standing at the side of the stage. We want to impress them.

"I don't want to sound arrogant but we always knew Noel would like our songs, like a lot of other people like him do.

"The music we make is not reinventing the wheel, we do what people like Oasis do by taking bits from classic bands and reinterpreting them our way. We are influenced by the same bands as Noel so we expected him to like what we do.

"It's still great to know we were right and I would love this to lead to more stuff with Oasis, whether it's support slots or Christmas dinner...I'm up for anything."
