Noel Gallagher is ready to debut ‘a couple of new songs’ during his performances in Dubai and London later this month, but has insisted the decision doesn’t mean a second solo album could arrive sooner than expected.
Gallagher was speaking to Time Out Dubai ahead of his performance in the city on March 15th with Richard Ashcroft – a gig that will be followed soon after by an appearance at the Royal Albert Hall for Teenage Cancer Trust.
“It’s mainly my High Flying Birds stuff, a couple of new songs, and some obscure Oasis b-sides,” Gallagher revealed on the likely make-up of his set.
“I write all the time,” he continued. “I never sit down and think, ‘Today I’m going to write a new album’, I just write as a hobby, whenever I get ten minutes I’m always messing about on this guitar here and if a line for a song pops into my head I might write it down. There’s nothing, there’s no plans. I am really, really enjoying resting on my laurels at the minute. My laurels are very comfy.”
Noel Gallagher has curated this year’s series of Teenage Cancer Trust concerts for one year only as Roger Daltrey continues his touring commitments with The Who.
