Glenrothes clothing brand re-releases jacket worn by Oasis star Liam Gallagher

The Courier05-08-2025
A Glenrothes clothing brand has re-released a jacket worn by Oasis star Liam Gallagher to celebrate the band's reunion shows.
Keela has recreated the Falkland Parka 95, made at its Nasmyth Road factory, on a limited production run.
The original Falkland was worn by Gallagher during the band's famous headline performance at Glastonbury in 1995.
Keela has produced 50 of the jackets, with 5% of all sales going to charity Cash for Kids.
Keeping the same silhouette as the original, the Falkland – which costs nearly £400 – has been updated with modernised materials.
The Falkland forms part of Keela's Albion Collection – celebrating Keela's sister brand Ilasco's 45 years of UK manufacturing.
Sam Fernando, Keela's sales director, said: 'We're so excited to be bringing back our Falkland Parka, refreshing it for a new generation whilst keeping the essence of what made the original so special.
'Each jacket is a testament to not only our heritage, but our ongoing commitment to manufacturing here in the UK and ensuring that the process continues to be responsible and beneficial for the environment.'
The Courier has taken a look at seven links between Oasis and Tayside ahead of the band's shows in Edinburgh this weekend.

Robbie Williams says he would open for Oasis despite decades-long rivalry

The rivalry allegedly began more than two decades ago, which saw the 90s Britpop stars, Liam and Noel Gallagher from Oasis and Williams, exchange insults at each other, including a challenge made by the Rock DJ singer at the 2000 Brit Awards Ceremony to fight Liam. The feud, however, appears to have subsided with Williams saying that despite not being friends, they are not 'enemies'. Speaking to ITV News, Williams said: 'I would open for Oasis. In this moment that they're having right now, they are omnipresent and they are the peak Zeitgeist. 'I can't compete with that. So I would, I would open for Oasis. 'We're not exactly friends, but I don't think we're enemies.' The comments come as Oasis are preparing to set off for their North American leg of their Oasis Live '25 world tour. He also told the broadcaster that he would not give his children phones, describing them as a 'drug'. He said: 'They don't have phones. They're not going to have phones for as long as humanly possible. And you know they're gonna go, they are at school, other people have phones, why can't I have a phone? Tough. 'That's as simple as it is. I'm 51, I can't deal with the corrosive nature of the internet and things. It hurts me. It ruins my day. 'How can I give this drug to a 12-year-old? How can I give this drug to a seven-year-old? It's abuse.' Prior to launching his solo career, Williams was part of the boyband Take That which was behind the hit songs Pray, Everything Changes and Sure. He left the group in 1995 and released his chart-topping debut album Life Thru A Lens in 1997. Other number one albums by the singer include I've Been Expecting You (1998), Sing When You're Winning (2000), Escapology (2002), Intensive Care (2005) and Rudebox (2006). The singer set off for his Britpop tour in May in support of his upcoming album with the same name, which is due to be released on October 10.

Spaniard Pep, who attended with his daughter Maria, said: 'It was really good. 'The first time I've been in this country so it was nice. 'Being here in Manchester, the first time. 'They came here after many, many years. 'They have been the best rock band in the last 50 years. 'And I'm happy it's back. 'It's the first time I knew Liam. 'Noel I've been with many times (at City games) but Liam I never met before and I met him before the concert and he was so kind.' Pep was pictured in a classic City shirt at the gig alongside Liam's sons, Lennon, 25, and Gene, 24, and Noel's three children, Anais, 25, Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 14. Bitter Oasis feud 'buried once and for all' as Noel Gallagher heaps praise on younger brother Liam for 'smashing it' on reunion tour He said Oasis had sealed their superstar status by bouncing back from the brothers' 15-year rift to sell out their tour. Pep said: 'I don't know how many countries they sold out but that means how good they have been. 'When (people) say this team will be one of the best, I always say, 'Ask me after 25 years'. 'Then if people still talk about that team, it was a good team. 'It's like a book, if after 25 years people read the same book, that is a good book. 'It's like Oasis, no? They come back again and sold out all around the world, it is because they are good. Otherwise, it's not sold out.' During the gig Liam urged fans to show respect for the title-winning boss when he dedicated D'You Know What I Mean? to 'the greatest manager of all time, the one and only Pep Guardiola'. It led to boos from non-City fans, with Liam blasting back: 'Who you f****** booing?' 6 Pep attended the Heaton Park show with his daughter Maria Credit: Instagram @ 6 The pair belted out Don't Look Back In Anger together Credit: Instagram @
