Biografie
Gallagher grew up in the north of England, his difficult upbringing led to him leading a reclusive and sometimes criminal life as a teenager. His passion for music roots back to him watching The Smiths on Top of the Pops and being inspired by guitarist Johnny Marr.
After an early career in construction and as a roadie, he requested to join his brother Liam’s band “The Rain” in 1991, after being unimpressed with their shows. Noel took over as the sole songwriter of the band, and after playing a talent scouted show in Glasgow, they were signed to Sony America on a six-album deal.
The band released their debut album, “Definitely Maybe” to critical acclaim and commercial success, with the LP debuting at number one, and becoming the fastest selling British debut at it’s time of release. During their following US tour, the Gallagher’s had one of many bust ups to come, and Noel left the band for a brief while, citing poor touring conditions and the lack of positive response from US audiences.
However by the following year, Oasis, and the Gallaghers were back, with a number one single “Some Might Say” and a number one album (“What's the Story) Morning Glory?”. During this point, Noel and the rest of the band were at the height of their fame, with a hype surrounding them, rival band Blur, and the Britpop Scene. Gallagher became known for living up to his rock’n’roll lifestyle, drinking and partying with celebrity friends such as Kate Moss and Ian Brown.
Over the next 10 years or so, Oasis released a further five albums, played around the world at festivals and sold out arenas. But in the end, Noel and Liam’s fighting led to the band splitting up in 2008. Noel went on to work on his solo project, releasing an eponymous album with his band Noel Gallagher’s Flying Birds in 2011. Gallagher is an avid Manchester City fan, and can often be found at their home games.

Are there any two members of formerly world dominating bands who have more vastly differing relationships with their material – old and new – than the eternally warring brothers Liam and Noel Gallager? Where the former and his band Beady Eye continue with their series of diminishing returns and seem to only play Oasis classics through gritted teeth, the latter seems to be far more at peace with his place in the history of British rock’s past, and his role in its future. Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are a band as slick as any huge rock act one could come across, but also one making relevant music, so much so that comparatively fresh faced tunes like ‘AKA What A Life!’ generate a comparably large swell of emotion in an audience when played live as songs his crowd will have known since they were similarly short in the tooth themselves. What is Gallagher the elder’s real skill as a solo artist however is his ability to inject new life in to said old dogs, with both startlingly vibrant renditions of ‘The Importance of Being Idle’ and slight melodic tweakings of tunes like the otherwise vastly overplayed ‘Wonderwall’ having them sound just as full of life as they ever did when played under the banner of Oasis.

Considered to be the more talented brother of the Oasis duo, Noel Gallagher appears to be going from strength to strength after his High Flying Bird's soared from the wreckage of the former band where Liam's Beady Eye unfortunately crashed and burned. The notoriously controversial singer/songwriter is still as cutting and nonchalant with his crowds as ever yet this is just something you come to expect when watching a Gallagher perform.
Despite the lack of onstage interaction, the strength of the material more than makes up for it as Noel performs a great mixture of new solo tracks such as 'A.K.A What A Life' and 'If I Had A Gun' which have already been accepted by the crowds as modern classics. It is of course the Oasis covers including 'Master Plan' and 'Fade Away' that receive the greatest reaction thus far with the audience bellowing along those unforgettable choruses. It is unlikely that an Oasis reunion is on the horizon, but with a live act as solid as Noel's the fans do not seem to be particularly disheartened about this.

The first concert I have seen in Mexico City and the crowd were both passionate and knowledgable. Noel rattled off a full array of NGHFB songs in perfect style along with a few songs from his past including Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Don't look back in anger.
The Teatro Metropolitan as a venue is superb, a 3000 seat capacity that means no one is far from the action.
After the show the locals left the building all singing along to don't look back in anger as a football crowd might do.
10/10

What a gig!
Noel on top form. Old classics like Digsys Dinner, Fade Away, Champagne Supernova and an unbelievable version of Don't Look Back In Anger with a choir behind him.
New album sounds even better live than on record, and we even got a guest spot from Johnny Marr and updates on the Man Utd game throughout.
Bring on the next one.
