Noel Gallagher
Noel Thomas David Gallagher is an English musician, singer, guitarist, and songwriter. He served as the lead guitarist, colead vocalist and principal songwriter of the rock band Oasis. Raised in Burnage, Manchester, Gallagher began learning guitar at the age of thirteen. After a series of odd jobs in construction, he worked for local Manchester band Inspiral Carpets as a roadie and technician in 1988. Whilst touring with them, he learned that his brother Liam Gallagher had formed a band of his own, known as The Rain, which eventually took on the name Oasis. After Gallagher returned to England, he was invited by his brother to join Oasis as songwriter and guitarist.
Gallagher was born in Longsight, Manchester, the son of Irish parents Peggy and Thomas Gallagher. He was the couples second child, after the birth of Paul Anthony Gallagher. Soon after the birth of younger brother Liam in 1972, the Gallaghers moved to Ashburn Avenue in the Manchester suburb of Burnage. Gallagher had an unhappy childhood. He and his brothers were often beaten by his father, who was an alcoholic, and he was often reclusive. Liam described him as the weirdo in the family. Due to their unease around their father, he and Paul both developed stammers. As the oldest child, Paul was given a room to himself, and Noel was forced to share with Liam.
