Yep, definatley throughout the cool britania/ brit pop era. I mean the thing is though you can have both, especially when you grew up in one country but your ethinicity is somewhere else. Noel is definitely Mancunian which is very English working man area and thats great that he surrports the down to earth working man and his roots. But sometimes all artists like to think they are something else and Noel has sometimes been very contradictive in what he says.
It is extraordinary how many of Britians greatest musicians and Britain's top comedians have Irish backgrounds. Nearly 250000 Irish people emigrated in the 40s and 50s to UK. Their children changed the face of the UK. UK musicians with Irish backgrounds Oasis, The Smiths( Morrissey and Marr), John Lydon, The Beatles, The Kinks , Dusty Springfield ( Real name Mary O Brien), Kate Bush, Elvis Costello ( Real name Declan McManus), Pete Doherty, Ed Sheeran, David Bowie ( Bowies mother was Irish). Every top band from Manchester with the exception of Joy Division had Irish backgrounds eg The Smiths Oasis The Buzzcocks. For example Johnny Marr parents come from a tiny village in rural Ireland where Mani from The Stone Roses grandparents come from. Comedians/Entertainers with Irish backgrounds Steve Coogan, Peter Kay, Billy Connolly, Jimmy Carr, Spike Millgan, Declan Donnelly ( Ant and Dec) , Michael McIntrye, Sean Lock, Jason Manford, Frankie Boyle , Micky Flanagan, Shane Ritchie, Dermot O'Leary and many more. If you look at other areas of politics, sports, literature and science the Irish have made little impact in UK. Both in the entertainment industry from director Danny Boyle ( parents from same area in Ireland as Liam and Noel Gallager, Steve Coogan, Spike Millgan andJohn Lydon parents come from eg Connacht ) to Kate Bush ( Mother is an Irish nurse) the first and second generation Irish in Britain have had extraordinary impact. They are not Irish . They are British artists. But that so many have Irish backgrounds many social historians now believe the Irish immigrant is the main factor in the rise of British music. As Morrissey said Irish blood England heart. When the Irish and English come together it makes great art. For example at the start of the last century some of the greatest writers were Irish men with English backgrounds eg Yeats Beckett and Wilde. Now and in the last 50 years some of the greatest musicians have been English with Irish backgrounds eg Gallagher, Morrissey, John Lydon ,Lennon Mcartney and Elvis Costello.
Yes funny ain't it how Irish have been a part of British showbusiness and pop, their are loads more that you haven't mentioned for instance. Peter Kay Ant and Dec Paddy Mc Guinness Boy George Dusty Springfield Dermot Murnaghan Kathy Burke Catherine Tate Brian Conley Sean Connery Gerald Butler James McAvoy Billy Connolly Shona McGarty Mickey Flanagan Pauline Quirke Paul O'Grady Shane Ritchie Bradley Walsh Stephen Mangan Stephen Mulhern Amanda Donohue Dawn French Shane Ward Barbara Windsor Susan Boyle Elizabeth Hurley John Thomson Leona Lewis Caroline Ahern. RIP. And many, many more. Even Tommy Robinson the far right EDL leader parents are Irish. However I think that the most ironic of all is Wayne Rooney England's greatest ever goal scorer and the present England goal scorer Harry Kane and then we have Eoin Morgan a Dublin-man who was the captain of the recent world-cup winning cricket team. Looks like the Irish have invaded Britain without a droplet of blood being spilled. The irony is extraordinary!!!!
I agree with you to a point. Like the ones who aren't fully ethnically Irish have not much significance. They are English cause born in England and have half or more of English blood. They are influenced of what they hear where they live which is England. I can name numerous artists who have no Irish ancestry and are much bigger artists in England than them. But saying that alot of England has Irish blood and alot Ireland have English.
@@martinsanchez4827 ya but u miss the point completely, some of the most influential musicians came from direct irish families where irish music was prevalent. That's all the point is trying to be made. It has nothing to do with where your born... the 2nd half of your comment in confusing... I not nit picking now but what artist are bigger than oasis that dont have Irish history behind them? The truth is pre 2000s alot of the mega rock groups have strong irish connections even in Scotland and Wales the same also... alot of top top groups from there have strong Irish connections.. Rock music originated on the u.s and came to the u.k and later Australia in all cases some of the first mega pioneers of this genre where irish. And going forward those that mastered this art where of irish ancestry Oasis Beatles not to be repeating names... simply because music was a part of life in the family/home this is not the case for your traditional english home. So when you say they are influenced of what they hear because they live in england is just not true. They where not influenced by english culture and much as they where influenced by being poor and irish in england. Even all their english influence is part Irish in itself going back to the 50,s 60,s Beatles etc etc
Nah mate your a youngster probably under 30 that's not your fault .If you were an 80s kid you would not love Celtic the ROI, and Oasis eyebrows were still in infancy never liked the group bigger than Jesus lol they think they were as good as the Beatles 😂they were world renowned Oasis couldn't break America..Primal scream and the Verve were better than Oasis yet the Verve only lasted a wee while but the music was memorable.
The quotes that feature here are hugely contradicted by Noel's actions. A union flag on his guitar during the Britpop era, a St George's Cross on the cover of the gig programme for Oasis's Knebworth shows in 1996, and Noel often appearing on TV talking about the England football team saying things like "we're not doing as well as I hoped we would" and "our players aren't really performing are they". He is English sometimes and Irish sometimes.
This week Noel explained to dj on Scotish radio about his identity, they were talking about English v Scots football match. Noel said " I am not English I am Irish my parents are Irish... regards the match I wouldn't mind the Scots giving the English a bloody nose". Noel doesn't shout for England at soccer. He was offered to do 98 World Cup song for England, he turned it down. If Ireland qualified he would write Irish wc song. Noel sees himself an Mancunian. But he had a very strong Irish upbringing eg Irish music, Irish culture, Irish sports. Its the same with The Smiths Johnny Marr who doesn't consider himself English, he sees himself as Irish Manchester. The Irish in Manchester have a unique way of looking at themselves. You will find so many Mancunians with Irish parents feel similar to Noel. Noel has said this for 25 years. His first interview on Irish radio he said Oasis are the greatest band to come out of Ireland since the Smiths. Noels very similar to many people born in English city with Irish parents. You will find at different stages of their lifes they feel more English, other stages more Irish. It depends in the person. Noel and Liam have different viewpoint on their idenitity. liam sees himself as English, and also Irish. He shouts for Ireland in soccer and for England. But he considers himself more English. Noel has a different viewpoint and its changed through his life. In his early life, he enjoyed Irish culture and sports. But in his teenage year getting into music and City, he started to feel more English. As he got older working with Irish uncles he feels more Irish in erly 20s. Then again he gets into music, joins Oasis, Britpop takes off, he feels English and Irish. This is how allot of English people born with Irish parents feel. Lydon, Gallaghers, Morrisey, Marr, Dusty Springfield, Boy George, David Essex, Kevin Rowland and kate Bush, they all have Irish parents mother and fathers and they see themselves their indentity as dual at times, but also many of them see themsevles as Irish. And in the last 20 years Noel has said over and over again hes Irish. But its with Manchester he idenitfies with more than England. Hes Irish Manchester, hes an Irish Mancunian. And many Mancunians with Irish parents feel this way also. Johnny Marr feels the very same. Morrisey is half Irish, half English eg Irish blood English Heart song. Liam is more like Morrisey half Irish half English. its a personal feeling, that is Noel and liams background. In England the English dont understand the whole Irish thing, that English born person with Irish parents can see themselves as Irish. 44 million Americans see themselves their ethnic group as irish American. In England, you dont have the term Irish English, but Irish Manchester Noel and liam are, Elvis Costello, John lennon, Paul Mcarthney, George Harrison were Irish liverpool and John lydon and Dusty Springfield ( real name is Mary O Brien) are london Irish, kevin Rowland from the Dexys is Birmingham Irish. Its the greatest cities of liverpool, London, Manchester that they very much feel apart of. But also as outsiders, because they are sons and daughters of Irish immigrants. Its complicated, in one way it is not. Noel said it this week " I am not English, I am Irish with Irish parents". And we all Noel is not afraid to speak his mind. Thats how he feels.
@@johnlynch2261 Wonder how all those Irish Mancunians felt when the Pira blew the whole city centre apart not 1 or 2 buildings but a whole city centre they must have been very Quiet about that Irish ancestry maybe this explains his Union flag guitar.America has tens of millions who claim Irish ancestry no wonder they couldn't sell a record in the country . 9-11 showed those New York Irish Americans who gave so much to kill in Ulster and the mainland how the Brits felt when those towers came down .
@bagies Scots are believed to be an irish tribe, Modern Scots are a mix of Picts (the real Natives of scotland!!), ancient Scotti tribe and all sorts of brythonic and scandinavian genes. I, as a Scottish nationalist take extreme offence to your comment, you believe that the gaelic language developed only in Ireland (in fact it came from celtic- a language family spoken from Switzerland to Scotland) But you're right in that my country is shamed. But our independence will be peaceful.
I don't really understand why there is a debate!?! In the first 3 minutes of his interview with Ryan Tubridy (search for it on youtube) he says the following: 1. 'I virtually grew up in Ireland in the 60s and 70s' 2. 'I had an Irish upbringing' and 3. 'There's no English blood in me and that's a fact'. Who are we to argue with the personal opinions of the great man himself? They are his opinions and we should respect them. I personally respect his views.
Noel gallagher tells different people different things about who he is, where he is from and who he supports. He was on Fantasy football in '98 supporting England in the World cup. Ireland has Bob Geldof and U2, be happy with that.
@Searlaigh Daily He's born in England and supports the England team at the world cup and he played a union jack guitar, you think someone who thought themselves Irish would do that? The UK gave him everything, Ireland just spits people out all over the world because they can't support them. He has to play to the Irish crowd because you all get offended if he doesn't. How come all this great 'Irish' talent only comes alive in the UK?
I don’t think he’s any less Irish for having a Union Jack guitar, he’s from the UK, it’s been a good place to him and it’s an acknowledgment to the people from his home country. Shane MacGowan was a true Irishman but wore a Union Jack jacket in punk days. Some famous Irish people have English roots, some famous English people have Irish roots. I read that around 33% of England actually have Irish blood. We can all get along. ☮️
Ethnically and by heritage, evryone in England is from somewhere else. Saxon, Anglian, Norman, Roman, Scandanavian, Celtic. But ethnicity only makes you look diffrent it doesn't make you act or think diffrently, thats down to culture and Noel was brought up in an English culture making him English. The English and Irish cultures are very similar anyway this day and age the only thig thats realy diffrent is Religion. I also think most English people hate our government more then the irish do.
Irish roots. Yes. You seem surprised by that description. You also seem to think that he has to trawl back a few generations before he finds someone from Ireland. Actually both his parents are from Ireland, therefore like Morrissey, John Lydon and even Boy George it's a case of Irish blood, English heart. Just to clear that up.
It's funny how everyone in Britain and Ireland are so adamant about their Celtic or Anglo Saxon roots. The gene pool has been mixing for so many centuries across both islands, most people would be surprised at what makes up their DNA. From my family tree I only had English relatives I could trace, but after taking an ancestry DNA test, I found out I have a lot of Celtic and Scandinavian heritage
Well all I can say is that judging by his comments, it is fortunate that he appears to have inherited the 'Irish sense of humour'. He didn't mind (With the band) being head ponchos of the 'Brit pop' movement, Union Jack an all.
Well, technically, Noel does have English blood. He's born in England, thus giving him English blood. When his ancestors deep in time arrived in Ireland and didn't consider themselves Irish, there wouldn't be any Irish blood in the first place. So our ancestors never took up a nationality, we would all be African. I don't know if I'm making sense, but, hey, I tried :P
Celtic had no Irish players and only three Scottish players against Barcelona (and only one of the Scottish players was actually born in Scotland!). At least most of the Barcelona players were Catalans.
@RedHandLad "“I do follow England because they have some good players,” Noel allows, “but when push comes to shove I’m in the Ireland end. I’ve always supported Ireland since I was a kid" Noel Gallagher.

@@johnlynch2261 You say the exact same thing about five times in the same fucking paragraph. I’m just saying you REALLY need to work on your proofreading because that’s just fucking ridiculous. There was no need for that text to be THAT fucking long when you repeat yourself countless times.
I'm English, got to agree with him . I love celtic,I love Ireland. I'm a Saint George English Catholic that loves my own country for only the right reasons.
I read that when Noel was younger he recented the whole irish thing because of his Dad. It was his brother Paul who embraced the irish traditions. Noel and Liam didn't associate with it so much...So i read. Then again, i suppose as he grew older he probably felt more in touch with his irish roots.

@Savannah Loughlin interviews in 2018 “secretly I am an England fan but don’t think we stand a chance” Interview in 2016 “ I hate England and England fans” Jul 21 “football is not coming home and I’m Irish”
Liverpool still are the prod team in many ways. Gerrard's appointment at Rangers confirms that. The media wound like us to believe all scousers are IRA sympathizers but that's beyond false
My two nephews where both born in Yorkshire, because my brother was a soldier at that particular time. Both my nephews parents are from here in Northern Ireland, but they where born and raised till this day in England. for me its an stupid question, as i always consider my self british. whilst Northern Irish!! i love my country, i'm very proud of Northern Ireland!!
Steven Sinnamon well in Ireland family tradition is very engrained and where your from and what you stand for. If your blood is Irish it doesn't matter where you end up.
'celtic' is made up anti Irish propaganda. Irish advanced and started european cultures without any religious cult in control of them. That's why the 'savage primitive celt' propaganda was made up. edward lhyud made most of it up in the 1700's. and whotf says "Big hugs" to Noel and Liam???
How can he say he isn’t English when he was born in England? As for his parents and uncles and aunties not wanting Oasis to sing the English national anthem at Wembley if they really hate England then why did they move there? 🤦🏻♂️😣
Both his parents were Irish immigrants. His mother is from Mayo and his father is from Meath. So that makes him 100% Irish ethnically and by heritage. He is only English by nationality. Noel even said "I clearly remember my mam saying to me and my two brothers when we were growing up: 'You're only English because you were born here.' And with a mother from Mayo and a father from Co Meath, there's not a drop of English blood in me." Perhaps you should get you facts right
Well if noel is so Irish then maybe should stop jumping about and strutting and swaggering with (UNION JACK FUCKIN GUITAR) .. OHH REALLY CONNECRED TO IRISH ROOTS DOIN THAT AHHB ?? LOL HE HASNT CLUE WHAT MEANS TO BE IRISH .... HE IS 1 THAT MOB IF HAVE (IRISH SETTER DOG) THEN MAKES THEM MORE IRISH THAN FATHER TED
If Ireland's such a great place and the Irish hate England and the the English, why do they all come here as soon as they hit puberty? Aucune Reddition!
Irish people dont hate the English not as much as the scots anyway. We have nothing against the ordinary english joe soap. We just dont like it when you wont leave our country and at the end of the day this is what is happening here. This is the Island of Ireland and was once free from British rule. This should be the case now
bedrocking555 What are you going on about. I have Irish roots, but I'm wise enough to know the Republic doesn't want a united Ireland, they even took it out of it's constitution. There's been too many bombing and killing on both sides. Could you imagine the bedlam in Dublin if you were united. The likes of the UDA would bomb it left, right, and centre. That's not wishful thinking, it's the reality of Irish history.
Andrew Fidèle Who bleats on about hating the Irish? All that crap about "no blacks or Irish" was over 60 years ago. Different generations have learnt to be more respectful and tolerant.
The thing is if noel and liam were 100% british they wouldnt be able to make music so good, english people dont have it int hem as much, same with morrisey and the beatles, english bands like the jam and the clash can be good in a more aggressive way but they dont create the same feeling.
I love the Celts! And I am from America with Scottish roots. Carrying on like morons is the reason why football has suffered in the States for so long. Stop moaning and pissing about your politics and say your blessings that there has finally been a truce--The Brits have formally apologized for admitted atrocities against Ireland! There is too much f'd up stuff going on in the middle East, so lets chill, try to be friends, and just get on with it for the love of the game!
The comments section on this page is starting to resemble an English Defence League manifesto in content and intelligibility. Great to see that anti-Irish sentiment is alive and well in England.
***** Liverpool the city is as Irish as you get in England. Liverpool Football Club has been predominantly Catholic, not that religion matters. When was the last time the club even had English owners. What nationality is the manager again? How many English players compared to foreign players were ever at the club? Football is a world organisation my friend. Everyone besides English conservatives know that. Liverpool is only where they play their football.
Are people really shocked that he has any connection with Celtic over Rangers when his family is from Ireland? As mentioned. He was born in England, he supports Manchester City, he had the Union Jack guitar and his parents are Irish. He's proud to be English and proud of his Irish heritage. I love the way that some people think attacking the Pope will wind Irish people up. As if it's the 1950s. Let it go, it's 2011.
Chucky are la (or whatever the fuck it is)? He might be a bellend for wanting to be irish but I don't think he's ever hinted at supporting irish terrorism
Is that right? For anyone looking to validate this - Watch Noel Gallaghers interview on the late late show (not the one from the 90s) where he states "As far as im concerned theres not a drop of english blood in me".

Hope that's not your kid in your RUclips pic. Imagine having a dad commenting "Up the RA" on a fucking video called "Noel Gallagher on Celtic FC Ireland and Irishness" Canny be your fucking kid lad your a fucking virgin.
jus cos Noel is proud of being Irish why shouldnt Rangers fans like him, i've also heard him say he isnt a plastic paddy and didnt feel irish at all - and he used the Union flag guitar to piss off his old man who tried to drum the heritage thing into him. Noels a genius and a top guy even if he does have the filth as his 2nd team! Mon the Gers! PS his wife is a good bluenose too! so he has blue blood in there!!!! lol
Ulster Is 9 counties only 6 of which are occupied by British forces, research gerrymandering and just keep in mind that Ulster is certainly Irish ✊🇮🇪 Tiocfaidh Ár Lá
your only english because you were born here , i like that , such a pity his people had to leave our country , so many famous people with irish blood living abroad ,
His parents are Irish and they gave birth to sons who are Irish and we're raised in an Irish household with an Irish fsmily whilst in Manchester. Like a lot of irish who moved their when the Brit's Fucked up our country. He has no British blood at all.
@GraemeISDrunk you do know during the world cup Noel Gallagehr was using the word we when talking about England and he's an abassador for the England 2018 world cup bid
Remember that time when that team rangers folded...When they owed scores of millions of pounds....to everybody....and never paid it back....remember that?
@WitheringPose The Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Paris called for the statue of Russell to be left unrestored as an "enduring symbol of Irelands shame". Of course every time it gets vandalized it gets repaired.
Am Irish, lived in Manc...I feel that people arent so much proud or identify, its usually to defence of dignity. At the end of the day, every son has to say....that's my ma you're talking about...whenever Brits slag off Irish. Marr once said he got called an Irish pig on the estates. Even if youre English, you suddenly say yeah well so what? Its about saying, Im not ashamed and being contrarian, and the Gallaghers LOVE contrarianism... though its clear that they're culturally Brit every step of the way. I think the marriage of culture and dual identities can bring healong and reconciliation after such a sore history.... when people ask these questions a lot, it means they are looking for the artists to express something that isnt being addressed in art that people would like.
Irish history runs deep with people and especially with him Irish parents, the Irish have long memories and find it hard to forget the injustices inflicted...I remember myself in magaluf only 15 years ago a sign in bcm nightclub that said " no dogs and no Irish" horrible shit
the chapions leauge/europeen cup is the equivilent of 17 spls , because accoring to uefa, the spl is the 17th best leauge in europe maby 16th so there for celtic have 59 scotish premier leauges and rangers only have 53, thumbs up if you agree with my theory XX
So many internet warriors here. Identity crisis anyone? You are either Irish or British? Or just yourself? I am from the south of Ireland and I am sick of all this childish hatred.
(cont) just to clarify,I am not saying that 'every single' Celtic fan is not sectarian.Obviously there are some.However,the Green Brigade,who are Celtics largest (and only) ultras group who start and lead the chanting at games are anti-sectarian.So it's just as long as the majority are being heard.
@happygregory1989 hi greg.... Celtic have won the big cup thank you very much... and are followed by hundreds of thousands around the world. stand back and admire ;)x
Seen him holding the Union Jack too many times to mention. Especially on his guitars
Yep, definatley throughout the cool britania/ brit pop era.
I mean the thing is though you can have both, especially when you grew up in one country but your ethinicity is somewhere else. Noel is definitely Mancunian which is very English working man area and thats great that he surrports the down to earth working man and his roots.
But sometimes all artists like to think they are something else and Noel has sometimes been very contradictive in what he says.
It is extraordinary how many of Britians greatest musicians and Britain's top comedians have Irish backgrounds. Nearly 250000 Irish people emigrated in the 40s and 50s to UK. Their children changed the face of the UK.
UK musicians with Irish backgrounds
Oasis, The Smiths( Morrissey and Marr), John Lydon, The Beatles, The Kinks , Dusty Springfield ( Real name Mary O Brien), Kate Bush, Elvis Costello ( Real name Declan McManus), Pete Doherty, Ed Sheeran, David Bowie ( Bowies mother was Irish). Every top band from Manchester with the exception of Joy Division had Irish backgrounds eg The Smiths Oasis The Buzzcocks. For example Johnny Marr parents come from a tiny village in rural Ireland where Mani from The Stone Roses grandparents come from.
Comedians/Entertainers with Irish backgrounds
Steve Coogan, Peter Kay, Billy Connolly, Jimmy Carr, Spike Millgan, Declan Donnelly ( Ant and Dec) , Michael McIntrye, Sean Lock, Jason Manford, Frankie Boyle , Micky Flanagan, Shane Ritchie, Dermot O'Leary and many more.
If you look at other areas of politics, sports, literature and science the Irish have made little impact in UK. Both in the entertainment industry from director Danny Boyle ( parents from same area in Ireland as Liam and Noel Gallager, Steve Coogan, Spike Millgan andJohn Lydon parents come from eg Connacht ) to Kate Bush ( Mother is an Irish nurse) the first and second generation Irish in Britain have had extraordinary impact. They are not Irish . They are British artists. But that so many have Irish backgrounds many social historians now believe the Irish immigrant is the main factor in the rise of British music. As Morrissey said Irish blood England heart. When the Irish and English come together it makes great art. For example at the start of the last century some of the greatest writers were Irish men with English backgrounds eg Yeats Beckett and Wilde. Now and in the last 50 years some of the greatest musicians have been English with Irish backgrounds eg Gallagher, Morrissey, John Lydon ,Lennon Mcartney and Elvis Costello.

And many, many more. Even Tommy Robinson the far right EDL leader parents are Irish.
However I think that the most ironic of all is Wayne Rooney England's greatest ever goal scorer and the present England goal scorer Harry Kane and then we have Eoin Morgan a Dublin-man who was the captain of the recent world-cup winning cricket team. Looks like the Irish have invaded Britain without a droplet of blood being spilled. The irony is extraordinary!!!!
Mani and Johnny Marr are from Athy in county Kildare
I agree with you to a point. Like the ones who aren't fully ethnically Irish have not much significance. They are English cause born in England and have half or more of English blood. They are influenced of what they hear where they live which is England. I can name numerous artists who have no Irish ancestry and are much bigger artists in England than them. But saying that alot of England has Irish blood and alot Ireland have English.
@@martinsanchez4827 ya but u miss the point completely, some of the most influential musicians came from direct irish families where irish music was prevalent. That's all the point is trying to be made. It has nothing to do with where your born... the 2nd half of your comment in confusing... I not nit picking now but what artist are bigger than oasis that dont have Irish history behind them? The truth is pre 2000s alot of the mega rock groups have strong irish connections even in Scotland and Wales the same also... alot of top top groups from there have strong Irish connections.. Rock music originated on the u.s and came to the u.k and later Australia in all cases some of the first mega pioneers of this genre where irish. And going forward those that mastered this art where of irish ancestry Oasis Beatles not to be repeating names... simply because music was a part of life in the family/home this is not the case for your traditional english home. So when you say they are influenced of what they hear because they live in england is just not true. They where not influenced by english culture and much as they where influenced by being poor and irish in england. Even all their english influence is part Irish in itself going back to the 50,s 60,s Beatles etc etc
Im 100% English but i love the ROI, Celtic and Oasis.
Am i okay?
Yes you`re okay...but boring.
👍
Nah it’s pathetic
go live there then 🤷♂️
Nah mate your a youngster probably under 30 that's not your fault .If you were an 80s kid you would not love Celtic the ROI, and Oasis eyebrows were still in infancy never liked the group bigger than Jesus lol they think they were as good as the Beatles 😂they were world renowned Oasis couldn't break America..Primal scream and the Verve were better than Oasis yet the Verve only lasted a wee while but the music was memorable.
the Gallagher brothers, the Smiths, and 3 of the Beatles were all Irish-blooded
Well, mostly John though. McCartney comes from the Picts, a Welsh speaking tribe from Scotland
The quotes that feature here are hugely contradicted by Noel's actions. A union flag on his guitar during the Britpop era, a St George's Cross on the cover of the gig programme for Oasis's Knebworth shows in 1996, and Noel often appearing on TV talking about the England football team saying things like "we're not doing as well as I hoped we would" and "our players aren't really performing are they". He is English sometimes and Irish sometimes.
This week Noel explained to dj on Scotish radio about his identity, they were talking about English v Scots football match. Noel said " I am not English I am Irish my parents are Irish... regards the match I wouldn't mind the Scots giving the English a bloody nose". Noel doesn't shout for England at soccer. He was offered to do 98 World Cup song for England, he turned it down. If Ireland qualified he would write Irish wc song. Noel sees himself an Mancunian. But he had a very strong Irish upbringing eg Irish music, Irish culture, Irish sports. Its the same with The Smiths Johnny Marr who doesn't consider himself English, he sees himself as Irish Manchester. The Irish in Manchester have a unique way of looking at themselves. You will find so many Mancunians with Irish parents feel similar to Noel. Noel has said this for 25 years. His first interview on Irish radio he said Oasis are the greatest band to come out of Ireland since the Smiths.
Noels very similar to many people born in English city with Irish parents. You will find at different stages of their lifes they feel more English, other stages more Irish. It depends in the person. Noel and Liam have different viewpoint on their idenitity. liam sees himself as English, and also Irish. He shouts for Ireland in soccer and for England. But he considers himself more English. Noel has a different viewpoint and its changed through his life. In his early life, he enjoyed Irish culture and sports. But in his teenage year getting into music and City, he started to feel more English. As he got older working with Irish uncles he feels more Irish in erly 20s. Then again he gets into music, joins Oasis, Britpop takes off, he feels English and Irish. This is how allot of English people born with Irish parents feel. Lydon, Gallaghers, Morrisey, Marr, Dusty Springfield, Boy George, David Essex, Kevin Rowland and kate Bush, they all have Irish parents mother and fathers and they see themselves their indentity as dual at times, but also many of them see themsevles as Irish. And in the last 20 years Noel has said over and over again hes Irish. But its with Manchester he idenitfies with more than England. Hes Irish Manchester, hes an Irish Mancunian. And many Mancunians with Irish parents feel this way also. Johnny Marr feels the very same. Morrisey is half Irish, half English eg Irish blood English Heart song. Liam is more like Morrisey half Irish half English. its a personal feeling, that is Noel and liams background. In England the English dont understand the whole Irish thing, that English born person with Irish parents can see themselves as Irish. 44 million Americans see themselves their ethnic group as irish American. In England, you dont have the term Irish English, but Irish Manchester Noel and liam are, Elvis Costello, John lennon, Paul Mcarthney, George Harrison were Irish liverpool and John lydon and Dusty Springfield ( real name is Mary O Brien) are london Irish, kevin Rowland from the Dexys is Birmingham Irish. Its the greatest cities of liverpool, London, Manchester that they very much feel apart of. But also as outsiders, because they are sons and daughters of Irish immigrants. Its complicated, in one way it is not. Noel said it this week " I am not English, I am Irish with Irish parents". And we all Noel is not afraid to speak his mind. Thats how he feels.
@@johnlynch2261 Wonder how all those Irish Mancunians felt when the Pira blew the whole city centre apart not 1 or 2 buildings but a whole city centre they must have been very Quiet about that Irish ancestry maybe this explains his Union flag guitar.America has tens of millions who claim Irish ancestry no wonder they couldn't sell a record in the country . 9-11 showed those New York Irish Americans who gave so much to kill in Ulster and the mainland how the Brits felt when those towers came down .
"Are Jews white, or not? Well, it depends on the situation."
Jewish joke
@bagies Scots are believed to be an irish tribe, Modern Scots are a mix of Picts (the real Natives of scotland!!), ancient Scotti tribe and all sorts of brythonic and scandinavian genes.
I, as a Scottish nationalist take extreme offence to your comment, you believe that the gaelic language developed only in Ireland (in fact it came from celtic- a language family spoken from Switzerland to Scotland)
But you're right in that my country is shamed. But our independence will be peaceful.
I don't really understand why there is a debate!?! In the first 3 minutes of his interview with Ryan Tubridy (search for it on youtube) he says the following: 1. 'I virtually grew up in Ireland in the 60s and 70s' 2. 'I had an Irish upbringing' and 3. 'There's no English blood in me and that's a fact'. Who are we to argue with the personal opinions of the great man himself? They are his opinions and we should respect them. I personally respect his views.
Noel gallagher tells different people different things about who he is, where he is from and who he supports. He was on Fantasy football in '98 supporting England in the World cup. Ireland has Bob Geldof and U2, be happy with that.
eddie lasowsky Ireland didn't qualify for France 98 and England were great then.
Noel is irish get over it
I hate Bob Geldof up the blue shirts.
@Searlaigh Daily He's not Irish. Terrible mickism going on here.
@Searlaigh Daily He's born in England and supports the England team at the world cup and he played a union jack guitar, you think someone who thought themselves Irish would do that? The UK gave him everything, Ireland just spits people out all over the world because they can't support them. He has to play to the Irish crowd because you all get offended if he doesn't. How come all this great 'Irish' talent only comes alive in the UK?
IN OTHER WORDS, HE HATES THE ZOMBIES
Irish mother and irish father your a true green blood noel

@@zairehayden250 Hello shill.
With your Union jack guitar,tree loins onna sheert.
Haha Englands national treasure in the 90s, and he doesn't even see himself as English at all. He just played the game to take their money - LOL
I don’t think he’s any less Irish for having a Union Jack guitar, he’s from the UK, it’s been a good place to him and it’s an acknowledgment to the people from his home country. Shane MacGowan was a true Irishman but wore a Union Jack jacket in punk days. Some famous Irish people have English roots, some famous English people have Irish roots. I read that around 33% of England actually have Irish blood. We can all get along. ☮️
How does Noels favourite union jack guitar make you Celts feel?
Your clubs deed 😂😂😂
Fail fail.
Noel had a Union Flag guitar.........
Ethnically and by heritage, evryone in England is from somewhere else. Saxon, Anglian, Norman, Roman, Scandanavian, Celtic. But ethnicity only makes you look diffrent it doesn't make you act or think diffrently, thats down to culture and Noel was brought up in an English culture making him English.
The English and Irish cultures are very similar anyway this day and age the only thig thats realy diffrent is Religion. I also think most English people hate our government more then the irish do.
Benji banjo complete difference we are druidic shamanic blood line. England is Roman and the like. Not similar.
Is anyone surprised that a man who was born to Irish parents and raised as a Catholic feels a greater connection to Celtic than Rangers? Really?
Oh yeah, I'd pay good money to see noel play those irish rebel songs with his favourite union jack guitar
Plastic paddy,
Plastic paddy, someone who claims to be Irish but then sings the engerlish national anthem with a Union jack guitar.more face's than the town clock.
@@Dinobaburas. Claims? Do you doubt it?
@@ResidentRaccoon Doubt What?
What about his union Jack guitar?
@Savannah Loughlin my parents were both Irish and I'm proud .
Don't they call people like this 'plastic paddies?' He's so proud of Manchester and Ireland that he and his brother live in london
Plenty of mancs are British patriots anyway. Don't let the media fool you.
Irish roots. Yes. You seem surprised by that description. You also seem to think that he has to trawl back a few generations before he finds someone from Ireland.
Actually both his parents are from Ireland, therefore like Morrissey, John Lydon and even Boy George it's a case of Irish blood, English heart. Just to clear that up.
It's funny how everyone in Britain and Ireland are so adamant about their Celtic or Anglo Saxon roots. The gene pool has been mixing for so many centuries across both islands, most people would be surprised at what makes up their DNA. From my family tree I only had English relatives I could trace, but after taking an ancestry DNA test, I found out I have a lot of Celtic and Scandinavian heritage
Same im English up to my great great grandmother the rest is Irish
That's so true, both sides don't understand that they have alot of the same blood.
did u know paul gallagher, noels brother was the founding member of the manchester branch of the celtic supporters club!
When I go home tonight and before I kiss the wife and the kids goodnight your statement will refurb in my heart.
Well all I can say is that judging by his comments, it is fortunate that he appears to have inherited the 'Irish sense of humour'. He didn't mind (With the band) being head ponchos of the 'Brit pop' movement, Union Jack an all.
Irish blood Irish heart also the Beatles were also Irish blood
but they are english
He pure cool no he's celtic through and through
Well, technically, Noel does have English blood. He's born in England, thus giving him English blood. When his ancestors deep in time arrived in Ireland and didn't consider themselves Irish, there wouldn't be any Irish blood in the first place. So our ancestors never took up a nationality, we would all be African. I don't know if I'm making sense, but, hey, I tried :P
I feel proud as i waas born in Englnd like the Gallagher's and my parents and family are Irish.
Celtic had no Irish players and only three Scottish players against Barcelona (and only one of the Scottish players was actually born in Scotland!). At least most of the Barcelona players were Catalans.
didnt he play with a union jack guitar thought celtic hate bein british
Exactly my friend...
The most Catholic flag in Europe Bruv...

I'm English, got to agree with him .
I love celtic,I love Ireland. I'm a Saint George English Catholic that loves my own country for only the right reasons.
I read that when Noel was younger he recented the whole irish thing because of his Dad. It was his brother Paul who embraced the irish traditions. Noel and Liam didn't associate with it so much...So i read. Then again, i suppose as he grew older he probably felt more in touch with his irish roots.
Easy well to sell records in Ireland and the US more likely

Up till the early 70s Liverpool were the "prod"team and Everton mainly Catholic,only in the South of England does that shit not matter.
Liverpool still are the prod team in many ways. Gerrard's appointment at Rangers confirms that. The media wound like us to believe all scousers are IRA sympathizers but that's beyond false
My two nephews where both born in Yorkshire, because my brother was a soldier at that particular time. Both my nephews parents are from here in Northern Ireland, but they where born and raised till this day in England.
for me its an stupid question, as i always consider my self british.
whilst Northern Irish!! i love my country, i'm very proud of Northern Ireland!!
Steven Sinnamon well in Ireland family tradition is very engrained and where your from and what you stand for. If your blood is Irish it doesn't matter where you end up.
According to his older brother Noel never liked the Irish thing at all and never felt comfortable being forced to embrace it by their father.
Big hugs to the Gallagher Brothers and all the Celts from NYC. Like the Gallaghers, I've got pure Irish blood too. Long live Ireland.
How have you?
Plastic Paddy
'celtic' is made up anti Irish propaganda. Irish advanced and started european cultures without any religious cult in control of them. That's why the 'savage primitive celt' propaganda was made up. edward lhyud made most of it up in the 1700's.
and whotf says "Big hugs" to Noel and Liam???
How can he say he isn’t English when he was born in England? As for his parents and uncles and aunties not wanting Oasis to sing the English national anthem at Wembley if they really hate England then why did they move there? 🤦🏻♂️😣
Curious that for years he played a union jack guitar. #justsayin
Both his parents were Irish immigrants. His mother is from Mayo and his father is from Meath. So that makes him 100% Irish ethnically and by heritage. He is only English by nationality. Noel even said "I clearly remember my mam saying to me and my two brothers when we were growing up: 'You're only English because you were born here.' And with a mother from Mayo and a father from Co Meath, there's not a drop of English blood in me." Perhaps you should get you facts right
Well if noel is so Irish then maybe should stop jumping about and strutting and swaggering with (UNION JACK FUCKIN GUITAR) .. OHH REALLY CONNECRED TO IRISH ROOTS DOIN THAT AHHB ?? LOL HE HASNT CLUE WHAT MEANS TO BE IRISH .... HE IS 1 THAT MOB IF HAVE (IRISH SETTER DOG) THEN MAKES THEM MORE IRISH THAN FATHER TED
If Ireland's such a great place and the Irish hate England and the the English, why do they all come here as soon as they hit puberty? Aucune Reddition!
Irish people dont hate the English not as much as the scots anyway. We have nothing against the ordinary english joe soap. We just dont like it when you wont leave our country and at the end of the day this is what is happening here. This is the Island of Ireland and was once free from British rule. This should be the case now
lol you might be surprised at how many english live in southern ireland
bedrocking555 What are you going on about. I have Irish roots, but I'm wise enough to know the Republic doesn't want a united Ireland, they even took it out of it's constitution.
There's been too many bombing and killing on both sides. Could you imagine the bedlam in Dublin if you were united. The likes of the UDA would bomb it left, right, and centre. That's not wishful thinking, it's the reality of Irish history.
imedi Not that many, but i know they don't constantly bleat on about how much they hate the Irish.
Andrew Fidèle Who bleats on about hating the Irish? All that crap about "no blacks or Irish" was over 60 years ago. Different generations have learnt to be more respectful and tolerant.
The thing is if noel and liam were 100% british they wouldnt be able to make music so good, english people dont have it int hem as much, same with morrisey and the beatles, english bands like the jam and the clash can be good in a more aggressive way but they dont create the same feeling.
I love the Celts! And I am from America with Scottish roots. Carrying on like morons is the reason why football has suffered in the States for so long. Stop moaning and pissing about your politics and say your blessings that there has finally been a truce--The Brits have formally apologized for admitted atrocities against Ireland! There is too much f'd up stuff going on in the middle East, so lets chill, try to be friends, and just get on with it for the love of the game!
Ignorant american you know nothing of british amd irish culture.
After watching this...........I miss Blur.
Big fan of Noel why come out with all this after playing a Union Jack guitar for about a decade ? I wouldn't have that flag within 6 foot of me
That's because you sound like a typical irish republican wanker
Noels parents are Irish, theres not a drop of English blood in him, Literally none
The comments section on this page is starting to resemble an English Defence League manifesto in content and intelligibility. Great to see that anti-Irish sentiment is alive and well in England.
+Anton paisley Cause your guys were so justified in what they did.
Jay Conaty , But you are quite happy to support a English team, started by prods. lol
***** Liverpool the city is as Irish as you get in England. Liverpool Football Club has been predominantly Catholic, not that religion matters. When was the last time the club even had English owners. What nationality is the manager again? How many English players compared to foreign players were ever at the club? Football is a world organisation my friend. Everyone besides English conservatives know that. Liverpool is only where they play their football.
Jay Conaty Just stating a fact, before you go even more into plastic paddy mode.
***** Remind me. What violent anti-human acts have LFC committed? I'm missing your point.
Are people really shocked that he has any connection with Celtic over Rangers when his family is from Ireland?
As mentioned. He was born in England, he supports Manchester City, he had the Union Jack guitar and his parents are Irish. He's proud to be English and proud of his Irish heritage.
I love the way that some people think attacking the Pope will wind Irish people up. As if it's the 1950s. Let it go, it's 2011.
Celtic are just a Scottish club & their fans think they're Irish, end of.

@GraemeISDrunk you do know during the world cup Noel Gallagehr was using the word we when talking about England and he's an abassador for the England 2018 world cup bid
There is an IRA monument dedicated to Volunteer Noel Gallagher in Duleek, County Meath, the town where Noel and Liam's father is from.
Born off Irish parents in Davyhulme Lancashire.
Plastic Paddies and Jockos everywhere these days lol
His Current Wife Sarah All Her Are Rangers Fans, Noel Married A Blue Bearette Called Sarah,
Remember that time when that team rangers folded...When they owed scores of millions of pounds....to everybody....and never paid it back....remember that?
@WitheringPose The Simon Wiesenthal Centre in Paris called for the statue of Russell to be left unrestored as an "enduring symbol of Irelands shame". Of course every time it gets vandalized it gets repaired.
Enjoyed that great post
Hey guys, it's morbin time! Let's all morb the morb together, and just get stuck into some hardcore morbin!
Isn't Weller's mam and nan from South Wales? Used to go on his holidays to Aberdare when he was a kid.
They grew up in England
Am Irish, lived in Manc...I feel that people arent so much proud or identify, its usually to defence of dignity. At the end of the day, every son has to say....that's my ma you're talking about...whenever Brits slag off Irish. Marr once said he got called an Irish pig on the estates. Even if youre English, you suddenly say yeah well so what? Its about saying, Im not ashamed and being contrarian, and the Gallaghers LOVE contrarianism... though its clear that they're culturally Brit every step of the way. I think the marriage of culture and dual identities can bring healong and reconciliation after such a sore history.... when people ask these questions a lot, it means they are looking for the artists to express something that isnt being addressed in art that people would like.
Irish history runs deep with people and especially with him Irish parents, the Irish have long memories and find it hard to forget the injustices inflicted...I remember myself in magaluf only 15 years ago a sign in bcm nightclub that said " no dogs and no Irish" horrible shit
the chapions leauge/europeen cup is the equivilent of 17 spls , because accoring to uefa, the spl is the 17th best leauge in europe maby 16th so there for celtic have 59 scotish premier leauges and rangers only have 53, thumbs up if you agree with my theory XX
i've personally saw him at parkhead myself with a celtic scarf on.
So many internet warriors here. Identity crisis anyone? You are either Irish or British? Or just yourself? I am from the south of Ireland and I am sick of all this childish hatred.
(cont) just to clarify,I am not saying that 'every single' Celtic fan is not sectarian.Obviously there are some.However,the Green Brigade,who are Celtics largest (and only) ultras group who start and lead the chanting at games are anti-sectarian.So it's just as long as the majority are being heard.
Confused was this posted to show what a jerk he is -not that it matters realy as thats what it does
Celtic are a big club.

Exactly. Born in England to Irish parents, the only Scottish people who he needs to worry about are his wife and his in-laws.
