Parlour Flames On Playing A Free Gig This Weekend















Music fans can hear a sneak preview of a new album featuring the Hale-based ex-Oasis guitarist, Bonehead.

The 47-year-old - real name Paul Arthurs - will perform songs from Parlour Flames at a free gig in Manchester on April 20, (Saturday).

Bonehead will be joined by songwriting partner Vinny Peculiar for a gig in Pretty Green, the King Street clothes shop owned by his former band mate Liam Gallagher.

The CD is Bonehead’s first album release since leaving Oasis in 1999 and the musician said he’s looking forward to the performance.

He said: “I'm excited about playing the album in the venue as it's not a regular gig venue, and obviously it's owned by Liam who is a good friend of mine. Also we wanted to do something different to celebrate the release of the record for Record Store day.”

Bonehead said both he and Vinny are happy with the album and added that the idea was first broached several years ago.

He said: “As the recording progressed, we both felt that we had produced something we were both happy to put out. I don't think it was a case of waiting so long to release something, more a case of "this feels right" and I'm happy to put my name behind it.”

Liam and Noel Gallagher have a colourful reputation and Bonehead said working with them in Oasis was a “massive” part of his life.

He said: “We went on to achieve everything, and more, that we set out to do. It's certainly a period of my life that I'm immensely proud to have been a part of, and yes I've got plenty of anecdotes I could share with you, but you probably wouldn't put to print.”

* The gig starts at 1pm and admission is on a first come first served basis. Pretty Green can accommodate up to 120 people.
