Fans get too close as Noel pops out for a pint

OASIS fans went Supersonic last night when Noel Gallagher rocked up for a pint in a pub close to the five-star hotel where he is staying ahead of the band's two Croke Park gigs this weekend.

The guitarist was swamped by hordes of fans as he enjoyed a pre concert tipple at Brady's pub in Maynooth, Co Kildare, after he had checked into the luxurious Carton House hotel.

It comes as this newspaper can reveal that Noel and his brother Liam will be staying miles apart, with Liam only arriving into Ireland today to stay at the equally plush Powerscourt Hotel in Co Wicklow.

But it was all about Noel last night as the rock star casually enjoyed a drink in Maynooth.

A fan who met him in the Kildare pub said he was “bang on” and “like a normal lad”.

Ryan King luckily caught a glimpse of one of his favourite musicians before he went back to his hotel - and even got his bucket hat signed.

Speaking to this newspaper, he said: “The security told us to leave him but he said ‘Come on’ and he signed a t-shirt, a hat and a few vinyls for the lads. “He was nice, he was bang on, he's like a normal lad.”
