Another Review: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, HMV Forum













The high priest of rock and roll stepped out with nothing to prove...and a whole lot to offer as a solo artist.

It was an immaculate set of Oasis classics and tunes from the Birds’ self-titled new album, delivered with affection and expert composure.

Opening with Oasis’s much-loved B-side To Be Free, punters knew they were in for a feast.

Haunting solo ballad If I Had A Gun already caused terrace-style chanting that Noel has become accustomed to over the years.

He ditched the band for an eerie Wonderwall that mashed its old swagger with a newfound calm, before the lads came back for something fresh – dancey and energetic current single AKA What A Life.

Don’t Look Back In Anger was a fitting sublime finale.

Noel’s said his band name – an ever-changing cast of gifted mates – is basically a joke.

But those Birds are certainly soaring.
