Liam Gallagher Is Greeted By Fans As He Arrives in Manchester














He might live in London, but Manchester will always be home to Liam Gallagher.

The Northern musician arrived into the city on Tuesday, and was greeted by fans as he stepped off the train onto home soil.

Joined by his Beady Eye bandmates, Liam, 40, made a dapper return in his trademark Modish style.

The former Oasis star wore a dark blue jeans under a beige mac with a pair of matching suede pumps from his own Pretty Green menswear collection.

Round his neck, Liam wore a blue, red and white scarf and carried a checked weekend bag over his shoulder as he stepped out of the train carriage onto the platform at Manchester Piccadilly station.

Before he and his band exited the train hall, Gallagher stopped to sign some autographs for some fans making the most of the rare opportunity to see the Manchester legend.

Beady Eye's arrival into the city comes a day after the release of their second record - BE - which was launched in London's Rough Trade with a special performance from the band at the Brick Lane store.

The band - made up of Liam, Andy Bell and Gem Archer - worked with cult producer Dave Sitek on their second album and promise an experimental new sound unlike anything their fans have heard before.

'Sitek just opened something up in us, ' Liam explained. 'He’s without a doubt the best producer I’ve ever worked with, a real outlaw - he doesn’t give a f***, no rules.'
'We had a new found focus when we were writing it - we really got our heads down and got our s*** together - clear heads, none of that crap from the '90s. It feels like a really special record for us.'

In the studio Beady Eye played around with Protools, cassette tapes, samplers, recorded conversation, iPhone apps and unusual instrumentation to create and 'ambitious and exhilarating set of tracks showcasing a stunning depth of songwriting.'

'It’s a trippy record!' Sitek says. 'The strength of the tracks is so high that we got to really play around!'

It’s rock-band instrumentation, but used in a different way. Liam’s vocals are incredible, all you have to do is turn on a microphone and you’re like, "that sounds like a record!" You don’t have to do anything to them'.

Despite his success with Beady Eye, Liam wouldn't say no to a reunion with Oasis, as he told NME magazine: 'People ask would I get Oasis back together. I'd do it for nowt, but if someone's going to drop a load of f****** money, I'd do it for that too.'

'If we do, it'd be nice to do that f****** thing that's coming up (the 20th anniversary). I'd be up for that but I'd still go back to Beady Eye and Noel would go back to his thing.

'We could bury the hatchet for a quick lap of honour.'

Soon they will be performing in a series of three very special intimate fan-only UK live shows, starting off at The Manchester Ritz on June 19th, then at the Camden Centre in London on the 20th, before heading back up North to Glasgow for the final gig at the ABC on June 22nd.

Their new track, Flick Of The Finger, had it's first play on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show.
