Top Oasis tribute band set for Ayrshire gig this week
The tunes from the Britpop icons will be blasting out this Friday evening.
One of the UK's best Oasis tribute bands will be rolling into Ayrshire this week.
Definitely Oasis is set to bring a dose of britpop nostalgia to Kilmarnock's Garage leisure complex on Friday night (May 16).
A spokesperson for the Garage said: "The Garage understands a lot of people couldn't get tickets to the real thing so we thought we would offer the next best thing.
"Known for their electrifying performances and uncanny likeness to the real thing, the five-piece band promises a night of pure Britpop nostalgia.
"This exclusive pre-nightclub event marks a first for The Garage – never before has a full five-piece tribute band graced the venue's stage, and early ticket sales suggest it's set to be a sell-out.
"Running from 8pm to 11pm, the gig will seamlessly lead into the venue's legendary nightclub, with free entry included in the ticket price – making it an unbeatable night out for music lovers and partygoers alike. Whether you're a die-hard Oasis fan or just love a great live gig with a proper party after, this is one not to miss."
Tickets priced at £10 are available via The Garage's Facebook page.

Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg tells Scots brothers rowing the Pacific their story 'could be a movie'
The Ted actor called the three brothers, who are currently rowing across the Pacific Ocean. Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg has said he is 'inspired' by three Scottish brothers who are attempting to row across the Pacific Ocean, telling them their story 'could be a movie'. The Ted star made a surprise call to Ewan, Jamie, and Lachlan Maclean - even offering to play one of them in a film. The brothers are rowing 9,000 miles unsupported, from Lima, Peru, to Sydney, Australia, to raise funds for clean water projects in Madagascar. Speaking to the trio, Wahlberg said: "You're badasses doing something no one else would even think of. This could be a movie. The best films I've done are based on true stories - ordinary people doing extraordinary things. No way I'd row an ocean, but I'd play one of you guys in a movie." As they battle salt sores, relentless weather, a broken watermaker, and a faulty autohelm - with over 5,000 miles still to go to reach Sydney, and more than £900,000 left to raise towards their £1 million target - the call with one of their heroes was a welcome and "surreal" boost. Wahlberg connected with the brothers over faith, family, and resilience, and pledged to help raise awareness for their mission. The Perfect Storm star, who is the youngest of nine siblings, shared his own experience of life at sea - on hearing that the brothers had a tuna on the line, he recalled nights spent sleeping on a tuna boat with squid as a pillow while filming for the true story he starred in alongside George Clooney. He commented: "When I was preparing to do The Perfect Storm, I went out on a sword boat - in Ocean City, Maryland, a longliner, and we were actually fishing. "We caught some pretty big tuna - 500, 600 pounder. I don't know how you guys are gonna wrestle that thing onto that boat, man. Oh my gosh." Wahlberg continued: "What you guys are doing is next level. You're living out a sense of purpose - combining passion with impact. "That's rare, and it's humbling to watch. People need to hear about what you're doing. "I couldn't be more inspired by the grit, the determination, the resiliency. What you guys are doing for such an amazing cause, and how hard you're willing to sacrifice yourself and your own wellbeing for the good of others, is so inspiring. For you guys to do this under your own free will - it's pretty crazy. "Some would say we might need to give you a couple of psychological examinations." The actor, who owns restaurants in Sydney and the Gold Coast, also promised the brothers a meal at the finish line, which will be a welcome reward after four months or so of freeze-dried meals.

My gosh, by that time, we may even be down there to welcome you." The Macleans expect to spend more than 100 days on board their 28-foot carbon fibre boat, Rose Emily, named in memory of their late sister. With no engine, no sail, and no support crew, they row in two-hour shifts, surviving on freeze-dried meals and desalinated water. "It's been much harder than we expected," said Ewan Maclean (33), who left his job as a Dyson engineer to help design and build the boat. "But today we had dolphins surfing near the boat, and that lifted our spirits - and then we hear we get to speak to Mark Wahlberg, so spirits are absolutely through the roof. "We are such big fans, and speaking to him is like a dream come true for us. It's so cool but it's bloody surreal." Lachlan, who will turn 28 next week and is the youngest of the trio (Jamie's 32), added: "We're all operating in such little sleep that we thought it all could have been a hallucination." The brothers, who previously set three world records rowing the Atlantic in 2020, are rowing for The Maclean Foundation, their charity supporting clean water projects in Madagascar.

Noel Gallagher looks stony-faced on the tube as he heads to join brother Liam for Oasis rehearsals for the first time in 16 years ahead of reunion tour
Noel Gallagher looked distinctly stony-faced as he made a lonely journey on the tube to join brother Liam for rehearsals on Tuesday. The rocker, 58, cut a casual figure while making his way to a secret London studio where he was set to join his sibling, 52, for band practice for the first time in 16 years ahead of their reunion tour. The formerly feuding brothers had put their differences aside and announced that they are set to perform a number of Oasis reunion gigs this summer. And while Noel and the rest of the band have already kicked off band rehearsals without the frontman, Liam finally joined the rest for a full set run-through just weeks before the world tour begins. In typical Liam style, the singer made a chaotic entrance to rehearsals, arriving in a van laden with Lockets and cough syrup, suggesting his vocal cords were in need of some TLC.

Springwatch viewers fume as show airs gruesome scenes with 'no warning'
Springwatch viewers were left in shock after the BBC Two programme showed gruesome scenes without giving any warning Springwatch viewers have been left fuming after the show failed to warn them before airing gruesome scenes on the BBC Two show. The episode saw hosts Chris Packham and Dancing on Ice star Michaela Strachan update fans on a short-eared owl's nest, but things took a turn for the worst when one chick was "pecked to death" by its sibling. Addressing Springwatch viewers, Michaela said: "It seems like they were all being fed, and just yesterday I was saying that one was doing well. But I'm afraid in that nest things took a turn for the worst." Michaela admitted the team was "really surprised" upon telling viewers how one chick ate its sibling in "shocking" scenes. However, viewers were left horrified when the show went straight into the clip without any warning. "As you can see, that little one became week and defenceless, and that stronger sibling took complete advantage and started pecking at the younger one who was still alive." Apologising that it was hard to watch Michaela continued: "It pecked it to death. That was really surprising to us, because as Chris said they were fed four times." Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one shocked fan wrote: "Really dont think they should have shown the owl being eaten alive #Springwatch." Another said: "Got to love #Springwatch. Just watched my first 5 minutes of this series and I've already seen one short eared owl chick peck a sibling to death and eat it's cadaver," as a third commented: "Baby owl eating its sibling alive ffs . Give us a 5 minute warning next time." It comes shortly after the show k icked off its 20th anniversary series. The show broadcasted from a new location, in the picturesque Peak District. Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan introduced the first episode on May 26 with a nostalgic montage of clips featuring familiar faces, including Kate Humble and Bill Oddie, from the show's debut in 2005. To celebrate two decades on air, the show introduced a new feature, Springwatch Street, which delves into the secret lives of urban wildlife, showcasing the thriving populations of foxes and swifts in city environments. Fans were overjoyed with the anniversary series, with many taking to X, formerly known as Twitter to share their delight. Others were more focused on Chris' Oasis style bucket hat. To go along with the theme, the host peppered his opening segment with Oasis puns, teasing viewers that they were in for a treat: "You'll want to be here now as we're about to bring you the Champagne supernova of wildlife TV, starting tonight." "@ChrisGPackham clearly on an Oasis kick tonight," penned one follower, as others begged him to break out into song. "Oasis songs then Chris?" questioned one, as another said: "Some might say that Chris is naming Oasis songs."
