OASIS

As many of you may already know, the Modfather Paul Weller picked up the Godlike Genius Award at last week's NME Awards. No argument from us; the guy is a legend. No one would agree with us more than Noel and Gem.

Noel recorded a special message for the awards and Gem was asked by Paul to join him on stage to perform as part of his band playing guitar and providing backing vocals.

If you're not in the UK or didn't catch the TV broadcast you may have missed the guys so we decided we'd go trawling the interwebs to find you the footage:

HERE's Noel talking about Paul (approximately 3'20" in).

And a little later on in the same video Gem performs 'Start' and 'Eton Rifles' with Weller.

Gem also performed with Paul at his performance at the Haiti Benefit at The Roundhouse on the 25th February. To donate to the charity or find out more about their work, click HERE!

And while we're on the subject, Gem is not only a killer guitar player he also enjoys dabbling in graphic design and made up an exclusive art print for us. You can check that out HERE!

Noel is set to headline two nights at this year's Teenage Cancer Trust benefit later this month. The support bands for both nights have now been announced:

The Courteeners will be playing on Thursday 25th March whilst the support for the Friday 26th gig comes from Plan B.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Teenage Cancer Trust's series of benefit shows and the fifth year that Noel has performed.

As previously mentioned 2010 marks the tenth birthday of Oasis' own label, Big Brother Recordings.

'Go Let It Out', the first ever release on the label, was marked on the 7th February - ten years to the day that it was released - with a special bundle at the Oasisinet store which sold out in less than 24 hours!

This Sunday 28th February is 10 years to the day since the release of 'Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants', the first album to be released on the label.

To celebrate this day in the band's history and to thank you the fans, every one of Oasis' albums will be available to purchase digitally at a celebratory £3 each for ONE DAY ONLY. This includes the 14 million selling album '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' which last week took the award for "Best Album Of The Last 30 Years" at the UK's Brit Awards.

You can access the digital store on Oasisinet HERE!

DON'T FORGET THIS SPECIAL OFFER ON SUNDAY IS FOR ONE DAY ONLY FROM MIDNIGHT (UK TIME) ON 27TH FEB!

On Sunday one of the UK tabloids carried a story that Noel made derogatory comments about Liam's new band. The claims made in the article and the quotes attributed to Noel were untrue. Noel has never made any comment regarding Liam's new band. The newspaper concerned has subsequently withdrawn the story and apologised to Noel for their error.
