Oasis Star Lends His Support To Nottingham Musical




















Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is known for his singing, his swagger, his outbursts and, most recently, his new fashion range, Pretty Green.

His online shop, launched today, features classic Mod staples such as trench coats, parkas and suede desert boots.

But it is his very own parka that he is lending to one of the stars of a new 1960s musical that debuts at Nottingham's Theatre Royal next week.

Mod Crop's leading man, Mark Joseph, will be wearing the item as part of his essential Mod wardrobe.

Pretty Green has also become an official sponsor of the show – which opens on June 9.

Steve Wallis, who co-wrote the musical with novelist and former Mod Alan Fletcher, said: "As you can imagine, we are absolutely delighted to have Liam support us on the show.

"Liam said, 'this sounds like a pretty cool thing to be doing'.

"Mod is something Liam is known to have an interest in and to have him involved in our show is a great honour."

It was Liam's idea for Mark to wear his parka during the show, which he heard about during a Pretty Green photo shoot using a Vespa scooter, which will feature in the musical.

Steve, from Wollaton, said: "Liam expressed an instant interest and proposed that Mark wear his parka and asked us to advertise his Pretty Green clothing range in our programme."

The Vespa, owned by Dave Wyburn, was ridden by Sting in the film Quadrophenia.

Alan, whose novel Brummel's Last Riff forms the basis for the musical, said: "I met Dave at Mod Aid in Portsmouth a few years ago and the scooter was on show there.

"Everyone wants a piece of this iconic bike, it's been used in loads of fashion shoots.

"Dave will always unselfishly promote other people and he told Noel and Liam about the show in Nottingham.

"We have invited them to come along but I think Oasis are on tour during the musical."
