@@JamesHargreavesGuitar Another thing I mentioned to him was the possibility of creating a themed event similar to International Beatleweek (very professionally organized by Cavern City Tours in Liverpool), preferably in Manchester. Where there would be gigs in historic places (with good headliners and bands from the UK and different countries) and a great convention day with personalities linked to the band, taking advantage of the fact that many are still alive. It doesn't have to be annual like BW.

Absolutely amazing collection. I met Oasis on August 9th 1996. Myself and my mate (in a band together) got under the fence at Knebworth whilst the band were soundchecking on the Friday afternoon. On the documentary that came out last year there's a brief bit where myself and friend can be seen leaning on the fence at the stage front watching the band play. We got a chance to chat to Noel and Liam and Liam even "treated us" to a ride hanging on the back of the golf buggy he was zooming about on. Sadly this was before camera phones and widespread Internet use. We had no evidence that this amazing afternoon occurred until that documentary came out. Noel was buzzing around the arena on a Vespa. John Squire was also there. They played Champagne Supernova to an audience of about 50 people and really jammed out at the end. It was bloody amazing. I wish I'd known how generous these guys are, I would've certainly asked for a memento or even to have a go on Alan's drums. As 15 year olds in a band in 1996 we played a lot of Oasis covers. Meg Matthews was there, she was nice, very friendly. And Alan McGee was also there. We were too scared to talk to him though. All in all, an amazing experience. This video has really brought back those memories, so thank you very much. Very enjoyable. You have the greatest collection.
