Noel Gallagher left ‘shaky' after Oasis after-party in Dublin
A hard day's night of heavy drinking in O'Donoghue's pub on Baggot Street following Oasis 's second and final night of triumph in Croke Park left Noel Gallagher 'feeling a bit shaky' as he headed off to Dublin Airport for his flight home early the following morning. Some scant details of the after-party have been shared widely on social media since the weekend. Speaking on TalkSport, the elder Gallagher brother admitted the night out in one of Dublin's most beloved and traditional musical pubs had left him the worse for wear. 'It went on. It went on,' he said. 'It eventually finished, [and] we had to get a flight home, but it went on for a while.' He said there had been' a lot of singing, a lot of drinking and a lot of talking nonsense ... It was quite a night.' READ MORE As the Croke Park curtain came down on the band's comeback, Noel said he was 'feeling on top of the world [and] couldn't be any better'. [ Did you see Oasis at Croke Park? Share your experience Opens in new window ] He told the phone-in football show that he had been 'completely blown away' by the fans' reception to the band getting back together. 'It's difficult to put into words, actually. Every night is the crowd's first night, so every night's got that kind of same energy to it. It's been truly amazing. I'm not usually short for words but I can't really articulate it at the minute to be honest.' He said that before the tour's opening night in Cardiff earlier this summer he had 'grossly underestimated what I was getting into', and five minutes after appearing on stage in front of tens of thousands of adoring fans, he could feel his legs 'turning to jelly'. He soldiered on and fans would have been oblivious to his reaction to the acclaim, but Gallagher half wished he could go back to the dressingroom to get himself together 'and start again'. With the world tour about to start, he said he was most looking forward to playing the River Plate football stadium in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, in November, which will be the band's second-last show of the tour. He said it was 'without a doubt in the top five places for us to play in the world' and a 'special, special, special place for us'. He expressed pride and a degree of wonder at how his younger brother Liam – a person he has not always seen eye to eye with – was conducting himself on the tour so far, although he added that expressing emotion in a huggy fashion was not really the Gallagher way. 'I'm the songwriter, you know what I mean? I'm not really a singer but Liam is smashing it. I am proud of him. 'Having been the frontman in a band for 16 years, I know how difficult it is and seeing him I know I couldn't do the stadium thing like he does. It is not in my nature. But I've got to say I kind of look at him and I think, Good for you. He's been amazing.'

Wunderhorse in Dublin: Young crowd delirious for one of the buzziest live acts around
Wunderhorse Collins Barracks, Dublin ★★★★☆ Wunderhorse arrive onstage at Collins Barracks to a barrage of plastic cup missiles hurled high into the air or pinged laterally at specific targets. Whether or not you like being soaked in lager, it is a roaring sign of approval from tonight's young crowd. They chant the opening riff to Midas like a football song, punching the air and digging claws into nearby shoulders. The guitar line is a microcosm for much of what is to come: simple, but snarling and effective. The project revolves around frontman Jacob Slater, who penned Wunderhorse's debut album alone in 2022 before inviting the band in for its sequel. While the first record was hailed for its gritty and introspective power rock, the second LP is stronger and more expansive. Slater once said the intent was to sound like the listener has their face pressed up against an amp. Therein lies the juxtaposition of the set. Older songs like Purple, Leader of the Pack and Girl Behind the Glass generate more emotion. The lyrics are riddled with youthful angst and supplemented by thrashing, four-chord chugs. Slater's right arm swings like a forceful handshake in single strums; attendees seem to know every word he has ever written. READ MORE Musically, the newer songs are more interesting. Their frenzy is punctured by uncluttered spotlights on Slater's vocal. This is most effective on one of the night's closers, Superman, which echoes sweetly around the barracks before the clutter is welcomed back in for a ceremonial, melancholic swell. In some respects, Wunderhorse's range should come as no surprise. Over the last few years, the group has been senselessly likened to a range of their contemporaries, partly owed to formative touring slots alongside Fontaines DC and Sam Fender . Those two acts could not be equated, but both seem to crop up as recommended reading for Wunderhorse's sound. Slater himself has not been shy about listing major influences. Elliott Smith , Joni Mitchell and Neil Young are all cited, linked by lyrical fluency and a tight, intuitive grasp of authentic melody. The energy is what he brings, connecting the dots to end up with a rock band that is as heavy as it is sentimental. You would wonder then, what he makes of the flying pints. Though the Wunderhorse merch is a highly popular uniform, a not insignificant number of fans in the audience are wearing Oasis T-shirts. Maybe Slater feels happy and at home in terrace culture, but it doesn't seem a totally natural fit. [ I've seen the future of live music – and it isn't Oasis Opens in new window ] Oasis certainly never wrote a song like Teal, which arrives during the encore to satisfied delirium. It bears the story of a teenage relationship, addiction and the vicissitudes of young life, ultimately concluding in a realisation of life's beauty and the possibility of recovery. This is Wunderhorse's home – unflinchingly earnest guitar music, made truly evocative by clever melodies. It is not without reason that they are one of the buzziest live acts around, and that reputation is cemented in Dublin.
