Isn't there like, what...12 people out there? Hard to justify the expense.
Anecdote from the show I saw in Dublin 5 years ago, Noel dedicated don't look back in anger to all his aunties who came down from County Mayo, which I heard as Canada. Which I thought was a bit much, since he'd just dedicated rock'n roll star to me on account of my Team Canada hat. (I was in the front row, and he'd been looking over at me oddly all night, culminating in him looking at me, pointing to his head and saying "long trip, that. I guess this one's for you."
Not a bad night out, all told.

Nah, that was the girl beside me who'd been screaming "you're wicked!" at him all night. "No, I'm not. In fact, I'm quite nice."

My sporting life: Phil Daniels
The actor and lifelong Chelsea fan is practising his poker face, cutting down on his porklife and getting some exercise
Emma John
Sunday April 6, 2008
Observer
Baby boomers know him as Jimmy in the cult film Quadrophenia; the Britpop generation know him as the voice on Blur's Parklife; and a new breed of EastEnders fans know him simply as Kevin Wicks. Phil Daniels, 49, is a multi-talented actor, and it turns out he's a sporting all-rounder too. This year he's even doing the London Marathon ...
Who talked you into the Marathon?
I was at a golf day for Sparks, the children's medical research charity, and on the 9th tee one of the girls said: 'Do you run?' and I used to do a bit of running to keep fit for football. I had a couple of drinks in the bar afterwards and I sort of committed myself and when, about six weeks later, I got a phone call saying, 'Did you mean that? ' Pride meant I had to say yes.
What's your training regime?
I got a schedule off a website - I like running on Hampstead Heath with my iPod on and my Sophie Ellis Bextor and Kanye West and Badfinger. My daughter put Regina Spektor on it and it's really slow, dirgey music: I can't listen to that. Vengaboys, anything upbeat - the Spice Girls are really good to run to. I bump into Liam Gallagher a lot. We sometimes have a little chat about who we're listening to. He runs like... [swings his arms wide] like he's from Manchester.
You've always played a lot of football ...
I don't like to admit it, being a Chelsea fan, but I play for the Arsenal celebrities side. The worst thing I ever did was when I played against Chelsea celebs and 10 minutes into the game the ball came to me at the edge of the box and I swung my left leg and scored and put Arsenal one up . All these die-hard Chelsea fans are going: 'Judas, Judas.' I didn't celebrate ; thank God Chelsea won 3-1. And I've been playing for the NME for decades. Bob Marley played in our league. I nearly played against him once, I've been with them that long. But I pulled my calf recently and had to have eight days off running, so I've had to stop playing until after the Marathon .
You've always lived in north London. You support Chelsea. What's that about?
The No 14 bus goes to Arsenal and to Fulham Broadway and I got on the bus going the wrong way ... No, I think it was Peter Osgood. And I liked the white stripe on the kit. I went to the 1970 FA Cup final when I was 12 and that was it for me.
You even used to do the match reports.
For the Morning Star, I was their Chelsea correspondent for three years. Ken Bates kicked us out in the end, because he considered us Russian. How tides have turned.
Are you bored with success yet?
It's tricky. Some of the best times are when you avoid relegation, but winning the League was fantastic.
Where do you sit at the Bridge?
I sit in the cheap seats. I'm in Matthew Harding Lower. I have thought about changing at times, but I don't get quite enough stick. I think the fans like it that someone on the telly still sits with them. There is a lot of singing and a lot of passion.
We heard you asked specifically for your EastEnders character, Kevin Wicks, to be a Chelsea fan.
Yeah, it was part of the deal. I didn't want to go in there and be West Ham and then get vilified at Chelsea.
You've also taken up golf ...
The actor Phil Davis used to play football with me, but he retired when he was 30 and started playing golf. And he said he had no one to play with, would I like to go? So we went up to Whitewebbs in Enfield. I lost about 15 balls . I never really got any better. I play off 19, I think he's still on 20.
Any other sporting loves?
I like the horses. And I'm a big cricket fan. I have to admit I have been fickle in my support. I was a Kent supporter when I first started, because they had Alan Knott and Brian Luckhurst, and I'm Surrey now. But this year I might go and see Middlesex play because I like Owais Shah .
You were in the original cast of Patrick Marber's Dealer's Choice - do you play poker?
Backstage was a joke. To get us on stage we had to be dragged away from the poker table. I'm going: 'Well, I can't put this hand down.' 'But you're on!' I play on the internet now. I did one of them TV celebrity poker tournaments. Craig Charles wiped me out. He called my bluff .
Actors should be good at bluffing, shouldn't they?
I think they shouldn't be. They should be giving it all away, underneath.

I saw Quadrophenia not too long ago and it's held up very well. I'm beginning to think it's one of the best British films from the 70s. I even liked Sting in it, which is amazing considering what I usually think of him . . .

Phil Daniels is only 49? I thought he'd be 60, judging by the parklife video...which was over a decade ago.

Yeah, and if I'd booked a plane ticket three days later last year, I could've been there. Fuck. Thanks for reminding me.
(It's my favourite smiths song, too. And he played the second half of the show with an all-girl string quartet. And he played sad song. And don't go away. And two songs with Weller. Fuck.)

Paul Weller has commented further about working with Oasis’ Noel Gallagher and former Blur musician Graham Coxon on his new solo album 22 Dreams and has also revealed details of the possible first single.
Gallagher appears on “Echoes Round The Sun” alongside fellow Oasis member Gem Archer, and the album track is expected to be the first single released on May 26, a double A-side with “Have You Made Your Mind Up”.
Weller who previously helped out on Oasis’ Champagne Supernova told BBC news this week that a new collaboration was a long time coming. He said: "Well me and Noel have been talking about trying to write something for years now. He had the idea for the backing track and I just put the tune and the words on top."
Weller also adds that Oasis fans could be disappointed that the Gallagher doesn’t sing on the track, saying: "He's not singing on it, he's playing a lot of keyboards and some bass which is not necessarily the first thing you'd think of."
Graham Coxon features on 22 Dreams album track ‘Black River’ and Weller says they "worked on that early last year” adding that “Graham plays drums, backing vocals and guitars."
Weller also commented on the collaborations in general saying: "I think among most musicians you just get on with it and enjoy it, and it's fun and just a joy to do."

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant reportedly told Liam Gallagher to leave his dressing room when the band played their reunion show last December.
Recalling the concert, which took place at the O2 Arena in London, Plant said: "The Gallaghers came by the dressing room and leaned against the door.
"And Liam said, 'You're the f**king business you are, aren't you? You're the one.' And I said, 'Of course I am, I always knew that. It's just that you never switched on.
