About Noel Gallagher:
Noel Gallagher was the main songwriter, lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist of Oasis, one of the biggest and most loved bands ever to emerge from the UK. His band played a tremendous role in shaping and inspiring contemporary guitar music from the 1990’s onwards. Noel’s continued success with the High Flying Birds cements his position as one of the most prolific and successful British songwriters of the last 50 years.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds first emerged in 2011 with their eponymous album released in October of that year. The album went double platinum in the UK and has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. The release of the debut album was supported by a touring schedule covering 150 live shows in 32 countries.

This was followed by ‘Chasing Yesterday’, released in March 2015 - the first album to be produced as well as written by Noel, with 122 further shows in 28 countries.

A third album, ‘Who Built The Moon?’, was recorded in sessions spanning 2 years with renowned producer and composer David Holmes in Belfast and London released in November 2017.

There followed a series of multi-genre EPs released over the course of 2019 and 2020, all receiving high critical acclaim.

June 2021 saw the release of ‘Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021)’ - a Best Of celebrating a decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. This was the bands 4th consecutive Number 1 album and the 12th Number 1 album across Noel’s career. 2021 also saw Noel named as Record Store Day’s official ambassador.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds played Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage in June 2022, delivering a career-spanning set to one of the weekend’s biggest crowds. The show was the culmination of a summer of acclaimed sold-out outdoor venues across the UK.

Fast forward to 2023 and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are looking ahead to their much anticipated fourth studio album, ‘Council Skies’, due for release 2nd June. From the evocative album title to the cover art, to the lyrics themselves, ‘Council Skies’ sees Noel Gallagher bringing a more personal perspective, reclaiming his past and paying homage to his Mancunian roots. His most varied and accomplished solo record to date, Noel’s new album is a record framed by confidence, risk-taking, surefooted creative freedom, and great emotional depth.

The first singles taken from the album - ‘Pretty Boy’ and ‘Easy Now’ - were met with a hail of critical and commercial success by fans and media alike. ‘Pretty Boy’ has also been remixed by The Cure’s Robert Smith, taking the track to a new spaced-out dimension.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds commence touring in early June 20023 with a 26 date USA co-headline tour with Garbage before returning to the UK an extensive run of outdoor venues including a huge homecoming show at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park before closing the year with an arena tour in December.

Great number, I’m glad to hear Noel back with more of that “Chasing Yesterday” sound.

[juvguimaraes]

Catch a falling star and we
Might drink to better days
Hiding what we find behind the Sun
Thinking of what might have been
And what the future says
Waiting on a train that never comes

Taking the long way home
So we can be alone
Catching the butterfly
Under the council sky
Watching the word go by
‘Cause I believe in magical
I'm dedicated to it on
Underneath the council sky
I found you



‘Cause life is unpredictable
You can win or lose it all
Underneath the council sky
I found you
I found you

Taking the long way home
So we can be alone
Catching the butterfly
Under the council sky
Watching the word go by
‘Cause I believe in magical
I'm dedicated to it on
Underneath the council sky
I found you

Life is unpredictable
You can win or lose it all
Underneath the council sky
I found you
I found you
I found you
I found you
I found you

Catch a falling star and we
Might drink to better days
Hiding what we find behind the Sun
Thinking of what might have been
And what the future says
Waiting on a train that never comes

1960s child, 70s was my era... council skies was all I knew but what a time to live.
Saw Noel Gallagher high flying birds last night at a wet a windy Audley End House at Heritage Live... WHAT A NIGHT... brilliant

[almazzeynall]

Maybe I'm wrong but I feel that he always hid a fragile soul behind the image of an arrogant and greedy person. Otherwise he couldn't create these melodies. Love him♡

[carlosdonjuan]

His Melodies are amazing, he never disappointed ❤

[turnupthesun]

Very few songwriters have had a 30+ year run of writing quality tunes like Noel Gallagher. He is amongst elite quality when it comes to his longs he’s been at the top of his game.

[colindawes]

Saw him live yesterday and was blown away !! an amazing songwriter and performer of our generation . Love the council skies album ❤

[michaelaustin]

Love it! 80s retro vibe and I'm getting the feel of tears for fears from this.. Brilliant track.

[Leo_King_Reyes]

Noel Gallagher is clearly a smooth songwriter. He reminds me of McCartney who will keep writing songs and entertain the fans until the age of 100. Noel deserves to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, for sure
