Diamond Cleland couple celebrate 60 years of wedding bliss
John and Margaret Canning marked their diamond wedding in style with a presentation from North Lanarkshire Provost Kenneth Duffy and Depute Lord Lieutenant Terry Currie. A loving Cleland couple will celebrate 60 years of wedding bliss surrounded by family and friends. John and Margaret Canning marked their diamond wedding in style with a presentation from North Lanarkshire Provost Kenneth Duffy and Depute Lord Lieutenant Terry Currie. The Provost presented them with a flowers, cards and gift from the councillors and people of North Lanarkshire while Mr Currie presented them with a certificate on behalf of Lanarkshire Lord Lieutenant Lady Susan Haughey. The couple's daughter Lorraine Ingram said: 'They had a fantastic day. We took them out for lunch and they were really pleased to get a visit from the Provost and Mr Currie. 'My dad knows Terry so they had a really good chat. 'We are going to have a party later this month at St Mary's Church in Cleland and I know they are really looking forward to it.' John and Margaret met at Newarthill Miners Welfare back in 1960 when John was 16 and Margaret was 15. The couple were married at St Mary's Church in Cleland on July 10, 1965. John began his working life as a joiner before moving into the licencing trade. The couple had three daughters Lorraine, Suzanne and Kay as well as five grandchildren. Lorraine added: 'I think they are just so well suited. They always told us the key to a happy marriage is to share everything. 'Mum likes to keep the house in order. She's a great home-maker. She loves her crafts and a great seamstress. 'She used to make all of our Irish dancing costumes.' In July 1965, the news was dominated by the Vietnam War with US President Lyndon Johnson announcing his decision to send an additional 50,000 American troops to South Vietnam, increasing the number of personnel there by two-thirds and to bring the commitment to 125,000. In the UK, Ronnie Biggs escaped from the maximum security Wandsworth Prison in London, where he was serving a 30-year prison sentence for the Great Train Robbery while Ted Heath was elected the new leader of the Conservative Party. The Hollies topped the pop charts with I'm Alive while Elvis Presley was at number two with Crying in the Chapel. The Sound of Music soundtrack was top of the album chart while Bob Dylan upset many of his fans at the Newport Folk Festival purists by 'going electric' in a live performance.

Oasis lost trio of unheard songs found as band continue on tour in Manchester Heaton Park
Oasis continue to play to sell out crowds on their tour but if they want to release new music there are some interesting options from the past Three lost and previously unheard Oasis songs have been discovered. The trio of tracks date back to the Be Here Now era and were found on a DAT tape marked 'B-sides' from when the band were releasing All Around The World as a single in 1998. The songs are all performed by Noel Gallagher and one track, referred to as 'I'm Alive', has been described as one of the best tracks Noel has ever written by one fan, who would love to see it released. It differs from B-Side Alive released in the Nineties Another song contacts a bridge section which eventually ended up on 2000 number one single Go Let It Out. The lost tape was discovered by Kyle Dale - who is a member of the Oasis Collectors Group - and he has played them to founding member Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs who is currently touring with the band on the Oasis Live '25 shows who confirmed their rarity. Appearing on the Oasis Podcast last month, Kyle said: 'I just knew this was different. This tape just says B-sides, it said it was seven minutes long, but it's actually 55 minutes long. 'I know that this one was not in the archive. Noel has not got everything; he's lost more gold than we can even imagine. I can tell you right now this was lost for 20 years. I do believe it was lost for that amount of time. 'I played them to Bonehead and the story would be that Noel would record them on a tape and send them round the band and they would listen to them and go back to it. As soon as I played him one song he goes, 'Oh, I remember that one.' Next one, 'Never heard that before in my life.' I could tell Bonehead thought that was quite good. Third one – which is the one that we've called I'm Alive – he stopped what he was doing and listened to it. This is from 1997, this is the era. 'To me that is one of the best songs I've ever heard Noel write. It's amazing. When I heard it, that song there, I was like, 'F***ing hell.' It really hit me; it's like a time capsule. 'I'm Alive. If they put that out now, it would take off. People are harking back to the old days.' Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! The tape also contains a cover version of The Beatles song Tomorrow Never Knows and versions of The Rolling Stones' Street Fighting Man and Flashbax, two songs which were used as B-sides on the single release. Collector Kyle,has been offered £20,000 for the lost tape, but rather than accept the money he has returned copies of the songs to Noel. However, the tracks seem a long way from being released at present. In a previous appearance on The Matt Morgan Podcast, Noel confirmed he'd received a USB stick from a fan, saying: 'Yeah, he sent me a USB stick, he may as well have been sending me a f***ing microchip from the future. I don't what he's expecting me to do with a USB stick. I haven't got a laptop. I haven't listened to the USB stick, it's still in the jiffy bag that he sent it in. If he wants me to listen to it then he can out them on CD. 'I don't know what these songs are, I would be sceptical of there being any full songs on there. Sometimes, as I remember during Be Here Now, when everyone would go to bed Owen Morris would leave the mics on and I would sing a verse or chorus of some tunes. They'll be a song on there called If We Shadows for sure. Other than that, it doesn't interest me. Thanks for sending it and all that. I've yet to even listen to it. It's not something that interests me, if I'm being honest, but if you do want me to listen to it then send it on a CD.' Oasis continue their tour dates this weekend with two final shows at Manchester's Heaton Park. They now move to Wembley Stadium with the first show in London on Friday night. Rumours persist that they could release a new track or songs next year, possibly as part of a new Greatest Hits album. * The full interview with Kyle is on an episode of The Oasis Podcast, out now.
