Oasis at Croke Park review: ‘Gallagher brothers on top form for midlifers like me reliving our youth'
Maxie Swain was among tens of thousands of fans reliving their youth in Dublin last night For a whole generation, my generation, Oasis were a force of nature — rock 'n' roll messiahs in parkas and bucket hats. A Molotov cocktail of good looks, great tunes and gargantuan egos, they were a whirlwind of mayhem and mischief; of two-finger-flicking, Stella-swigging, paparazzi-punching excess, here to deliver us from the evil of Shaggy and Shabba Ranks and Soundgarden.

A Place In The Sun's Laura Hamilton displays her incredible figure in a blue halterneck bikini as she jets off to Sardinia with her children
Laura Hamilton displayed her incredible figure in a blue halterneck bikini as she jetted off to Sardinia with her children. The A Place In The Sun presenter, 43, has been enjoying a family holiday at Forte Village resort in South Sardinia. Joined by her children Rocco, 11, and Tahlia, 10, who she shares with ex-husband Alex Goward, Laura soaked up the Italian sun. She looked sensational in a light blue halterneck bikini top with low-rise briefs featuring gold brooches as she did matching poses with her mini-me Tahlia in an array of snaps. Documenting her trip on Instagram on Monday, Laura shared that her and the kids had enjoyed an electric bike ride around the resort before listening to a piano recital. Later the trio took to the clear-blue sea to go snorkelling at the picturesque resort. 'Sass, sparkle, and sun-kissed days at Forte Village ✨,' she captioned the snaps. 'Tahlia's the kind of girl who turns palm-lined paths into catwalks and ice cream runs into comedy shows. She's my tiny travel queen. Quirky, kind, bold, and bursting with magic.' Earlier this year, Laura revealed that she went on a date with Shaggy - and he made her pay! Laura, who split from husband Alex Goward, 44, in 2022 after a decade of marriage, shared details about her dating life in a new interview on Friday. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Laura confirmed that she was still single and having fun as she recalled a surprise date from over 20 years ago. Recounting meeting up with Shaggy, she explained: 'I met him for coffee and I had to pay for it. It was at Heathrow airport. 'I'd been working with him, and he said, 'I really want to meet up with you and talk about work opportunities.'' Confirming that he made up a song and sang it to her, she continued: 'God, that was over 20 years ago. I'm not sure he'd recognise me now.' Adding of her dating life now, Laura said: 'I'm busy working and dating and having fun, and I prefer to find people naturally rather than being on dating apps. 'I like to go out and meet people who have common interests. I made a decision going forward that I want to keep that aspect of my life private. 'I think it's really important that if I'm dating people - and I have been dating people - if they're not in the public eye, then they have a right to privacy. 'Just because I'm in the public eye – you never know what their job is, and they might need privacy for security reasons, and so I'm always mindful of that.' Laura shares two children Rocco, 12, and Tahlia, 10, with her ex-husband Alex, they split after 13 years together. In a statement at the time, she wrote: 'This isn't something I ever thought I'd be saying but, after 13 years of being together Alex and I have separated. 'Our children are and always will be our number one priority and we would respect privacy for our family at this time.' She has been a presenter on A Place in the Sun since 2012 and regularly posts pictures from her sun drenched holidays and filming trips on Instagram. Laura also explained that her time on the Channel 4 show has seen her through so many life changes, notably her engagement, the births of her children and her divorce. The former Dancing On Ice star described feeling like she had 'failed' amid their separation, which saw Laura move out of the couple's Surrey family home. She said: 'We are co-parenting, and it works. But even that, you know, I kind of felt like I had failed.'
