How do you tell one of the most belligerent men in rock and roll he’s playing his own song wrong?
That’s a dilemma discussed by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds bass player Russell Pritchard during the latest episode of the unmissable StageLeft Podcast series, which can be heard at this link.
Upon Noel Gallagher‘s support stint with U2 in Europe during the past few weeks, Pritchard inherited the joint honour with Mike Rowe of being the former Oasis man’s longest serving touring partner since his solo career began in 2011, and the bassist goes on to talk through his experiences during those six years as well his time with The Zutons and how they came to write their most famous track Valerie.
There’s tales along the way of brushes with other rock icons such as Paul McCartney and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
