Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds feat. BBC Concert Orchestra - Council Skies

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds perform their new single Council Skies alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra for the Radio 2 Piano Room

[WilliamMale-hihi]

One of the best songwriters of the last 30 years

[TheWelwyn]

He definitely took notice of Bowie's words who told him to keep writing. A fantastic tune

[alsatch_]

If you're reading this - Noel Gallagher has probably also made a massive impact on your life. He definitely has to me.

[kealanmcateer]

That drummer whoever he is should be applauded, not easy live, that tempo, unbelievable

[lewismitchell]

The drums have such a crisp sound, Chris Sharrock is just sublime. Saw NGHFB at a gig recently and couldn't take my eyes off him, just absolutely spot on.

[spraymie]

I don’t want OASIS back together as Noel’s solo work is utterly immense.

[Deano-pn]

hes never written a bad song to me and i thought that was impossible absolutely Love the Guy Thank You Noel Gallagher!

[thedappercook]

Ive being an Oasis fan since 1994 and I went off Noel for 5-7 years and Im really enjoying this new direction of returning to his roots. Fantastic.

And how good is it to see Gem and Chris.

[stevedinverno]

Noel is a fantastic live playing artist. No need for any trickery or gimmicks. Just great songs that are delivered well. A genius in our time.

[Challengeri]

This particular song is stand out - a modern day masterpiece. I just burst with optimism, new found courage, joy and pride. It's a right banger! Gallagher you wonderful bastard you! x x

[lucasgoncalves]

being listening to this man since I was 14 years old...

[mattgaskell]

I don’t see anyone else able to write tunes like this anymore. He stands alone.

[willyc.]

National treasure, one of the best songriwters of the last 30 years❤

[isabellevvl]

I can't stop singing all the new Noel songs (and the others too!). I have no words to say how much I love his music! Simply perfect ! 🤩

[TheBellau]

This is very bosanova❤ gorgeous instrumentation. Noel knows how to set a mood. He’s actually getting better at it.

[Pleyaddes]

I was so excited to see this song live for the first time... I'm addicted to this song.
Noel is so professional, he makes everything seem so simple... the entire orchestra and musicians behind this song are incredible, I always loved the choirs and violins in this song, live it sounds incredible.
What a way to evolve as a musician Noel, grateful to have been born in a time where your music exists.

[carlhenrikrapp]

First time performed and yet it sounds so freekin good, NG and his band are truly amazing.

[XoXo]

I can’t WAIT to hear “Going Nowhere”’from Later With Jools Holland probably filmed the same day or week as this session.
I really hope BBC2 upload it today too 🙏
First time it’s ever been played live with an orchestra and filmed.
Wow the band and Noel sound amazing. What a great chemistry. Council Skies sounds absolutely massive. Stunning version ❤

[LondoncallingDiane]

I was in London when Council Sky was released, being from sunny Los Angeles - the London weather/ and the architecture enhanced the emotions in this song and suddenly - ALL his music had a new interpretation - going forward I will listen with a new vision. Cheers Noel

[Deedee-eesg]

Brilliant session!
What a genius!
Love you, Noel!
